Michael Osterholm, who's now been appointed to Biden's COVID-19 team, was a consultant to the Bush administration's "investigation" into the 2001 anthrax attacks who helped downplay the possibility that the attacks were conducted by a government insider. ph.ucla.edu/epi/bioter/per…

On the day of the first anthrax attack, Osterholm was quoted in a CNN article, pumping up the threat of a smallpox attack. Smallpox, of course, was the weapon at the center of the Operation Dark Winter bio-terror simulation conducted earlier that year. cnn.com/2001/US/09/17/…

Last year, Osterholm was the primary expert cited in a Washington Post article attempting to debunk Kris Newby's book, Bitten, which investigates the origins of Lyme disease in the US bio-weapons program. The article contained a revealing disclosure. washingtonpost.com/history/2019/0…

Osterholm knew and worked with Willie Burgdorfer!

As Newby's book documents, Burgdorfer bred fleas, ticks and mosquitoes and infected them with disease-causing pathogens on behalf of the US BW program. Late in life, he even admitted Lyme was the result of a military experiment.

As @housetrotter points out, Osterholm was escalating fears of a bio-terror attack a year before the anthrax attacks occurred.

Interestingly, though, Osterholm was (AFAIK) one of the first mainstream public health officials ("an insider," as he tells us) to reveal how ineffective flu shots are. "It's all a sales job: it's all public relations." well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/05/rea…

Why did this rather startling information come from such a consummate "insider" like Osterholm? Perhaps it was to set the stage for a big new push for a universal flu vaccine. Tony Fauci and Bill Gates were behind such a push as well. minnpost.com/health/2019/01…
