The leaders of two controversial pandemic simulations that took place just months before the Coronavirus crisis – Event 201 and Crimson Contagion – share a common history, the 2001 biowarfare simulation Dark Winter. Dark Winter not only predicted the 2001 anthrax attacks, but some of its participants had clear foreknowledge of those attacks.
During the presidency of George H.W. Bush
in the early 1990s, something disturbing unfolded at the U.S.’ top
biological warfare research facility at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Specimens of highly contagious and deadly pathogens – anthrax and ebola
among them – had disappeared from the lab, at a time when lab workers
and rival scientists had been accused of targeted sexual and ethnic
harassment and several disgruntled researchers had left as a result.
In addition to missing samples of
anthrax, ebola, hanta virus and a variant of AIDS, two of the missing
specimens had been labeled “unknown” – “an Army euphemism for classified
research whose subject was secret,” according to reports.
The vast majority of the specimens lost were never found and an Army
spokesperson would later claim that it was “likely some were simply
thrown out with the trash.”
