    Koch’s First Postulate ...

    1. The microorganism must be found in abundance in all cases of those suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy subjects.

    Again, none of which has anything to do with the paper I posted in particular. Just the talking points from a website you found.

    Be sure to bloviate more. You’ve nearly convinced us.

    Firefighters are the leading cause of fires. How do we know ? Because every time we happen upon a fire, firefighters are all over it!

    The aim is not to convince at this point. But ridicule is on the table.

    Not an answer to the question.

    Okay, I’ll try again. Next time you find days old roadkill you’ll find it’s teeming with bacteria. Proof that bacteria killed the animal, right ?

    Except the mechanism in which anthracis generates the toxin is well understood. So nobody would need to go on a weird tangent to explain it. It's explained!

    At this point even Kanye will look at his posts and be like “Whoa! Why didn’t I hallucinate that.”

    It is “well known” that finding bacillus associated with some dead animals in no way proves causation, and yet that's what was done.

    Weirdly when biolabs first started you know how they acquired the toxin? That's right, via bacteria!

    I am talking about the paper, drawing specific information from it and discussing it. You are just copying and pasting random stuff you have read on some website because you don't seem to understand the paper at all.

    Strike 2. I asked a simple question: what toxin causes anthrax? You have twice made an unrelated point that ignores this question. Want to try again?

    Except that we’ve been living with anthrax forever. It’s in the soil. Hell, we breathe and ingest it. Maybe they add vegemite to it ? That would kill you in large quantities.

    I have myriad times pointed to the abject failure of Koch’s Postulates and the assumption that the presence of bacteria proves its harms.

    Which I have provided in abundance. And that you dismiss as talking points.
