Did it happen or nah?
The evidence is pretty strong that it did, I doubt it will ever be known 100% for sure though; unless the glorious peoples army overthrown the empire and cracks open the archives.

And that hairline crack of uncertainty will be enough for liberals to call you a conspiracy theorist and treat you as the equivalent of someone who thinks the government is run by alien lizards.
Yeah, it's basically proved but there is enough plausible deniability for someone with motivated reasoning.
Yes, it was tested and prepared with the assistance of fascist japan’s research in Unit 731
“The value to U.S. of Japanese BW data is of such importance to national security as to far outweigh the value accruing from war crimes prosecution”
While the jury is still out on whether they were truly used in the field, the biological warfare program was shut down because it wasn’t cost effective compared to nukes and missiles, not because it was morally and ethically abhorrent.
“On 5 March 1954, Secretary of Defense Charles Wilson canceled the 21 December 1951 directive. The results of the BW “crash program” had been disappointing. According to Dorothy L. Miller’s USAF history of the period, “The new directive affirmed the necessity for a biological warfare program, but it reduced the pressure to build up an immediate capability. Instead, the emphasis was to be upon long range research and development, with an adequate field testing program. The military services realized that they had reached the point of diminishing returns on the development of existing end items (p. 79)””
Yes. Also if you want to read up more I recommend 'this monstrous war' or Anna Strong's own book as well
Oh that's just for an overview of the war. I'll check my copy of the first book later for references to biowarfare when I get off work
oh yeah, didn't :amerikkka: use chicken feathers innoculated with some form of pox in Korea? I think I remember Blowback mentioning it. Soldiers would go into evacuated villages and spread the feathers around everywhere, so when the villagers came back and cleaned up they contracted whatever disease was on the feathers.
Fucked up stuff!
Also: Here’s season 3 of Blowback, including the bonus episodes

Enjoy, comrades, and remember: uncritical support to the DPRK in it’s heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal US Empire :kim-peace:
