Watch for more and more of Trump's enablers attempt to whitewash their careers, and make a few bucks from positions of relative safety. I sense the go along to get along then cash out strategy will end badly for all of them.

In which Jacobsen paints a scenario of a bioengineered pneumonic plague escaping containment from a lab in Siberia. Stop me if you've heard this before. This is not a Sci-Fi scare novel. It's a thorough and wall researched work by a serious author. Highly recommended. Especially now.
