Biological Warfare �One of the largest human experiments in history� was conducted on
unsuspecting residents of San Francisco
�One of the largest human experiments in history� was conducted on unsuspecting residents
of San Francisco.
By Strange Sounds
This is a crazy story; one that seems like it must be a conspiracy theory.
But the core of this incredible tale is documented and true.
One fact many may not know about San Francisco�s fog is that in 1950, the US military conducted
a test to see whether it could be used to help spread a biological weapon in a �simulated
germ-warfare attack.�
And this was just the start of many such tests around the country that would go on in secret
for years.
The test � one of the largest human experiments in history � was a success.
But it was also one of the largest offenses of the Nuremberg Code since its inception,
as it stipulates that �voluntary, informed consent� is required for research participants,
and that experiments that might lead to death or disabling injury are unacceptable.
The unsuspecting residents of San Francisco certainly could not consent to the military�s
germ-warfare test, and there�s good evidence that it could have caused the death of at
least one resident of the city, Edward Nevin, and hospitalized 10 others.
A successful biological warfare attack
It all began in late September 1950, when over a few days, a Navy vessel used giant
hoses to spray a fog of two kinds of bacteria, Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii
� both believed at the time to be harmless � out into the fog, where they disappeared
and spread over the city.
It was noted that a successful BW [biological warfare]attack on this area can be launched
from the sea, and that effective dosages can be produced over relatively large areas.
Successful indeed, according to Leonard Cole, the director of the Terror Medicine and Security
Program at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
His book, �Clouds of Secrecy: The Army�s Germ Warfare Tests Over Populated Areas documents
the military�s secret bioweapon tests over populated areas:
Nearly all of San Francisco received 500 particle minutes per liter.
In other words, nearly every one of the 800,000 people in San Francisco exposed to the cloud
at normal breathing rate (10 liters per minute) inhaled 5,000 or more particles per minute
during the several hours that they remained airborne.
This was among the first but far from the last of these sorts of tests.
Tests included the large-scale releases of bacteria in the New York City subway system,
on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and in National Airport just outside Washington, DC.
Over the next 20 years, the military would conduct 239 �germ-warfare� tests over
populated areas, according to news reports from the 1970s.
In a 1994 congressional testimony, Cole said that none of this had been revealed to the
public until a 1976 newspaper story revealed the story of a few of the first experiments
� though at least a Senate subcommittee had heard testimony about experiments in New
York City in 1975, according to a 1995 Newsday report.
A mysterious death
When Edward Nevin III, the grandson of the Edward Nevin who died in 1950, read about
one of those early tests in San Francisco, he connected the story to his grandfather�s
death from a mysterious bacterial infection.
He began to try to convince the government to reveal more data about these experiments.
In 1977, they released a report detailing more of that activity.
In 1950, the first Edward Nevin had been recovering from a prostate surgery when he suddenly fell
ill with a severe urinary-tract infection containing Serratia marcescens, the theoretically
harmless bacterium that�s known for turning bread red in color.
The bacteria had reportedly never been found in the hospital before and was rare in the
Bay Area (and in California in general).
The bacteria spread to Nevin�s heart and he died a few weeks later.
Another 10 patients showed up in the hospital over the next few months, all with pneumonia
symptoms and the odd presence of Serratia marcescens.
They all recovered.
Nevin�s grandson tried to sue the government for wrongful death, but the court held that
the government was immune to a lawsuit for negligence and that they were justified in
conducting tests without subjects� knowledge.
The Army stated that infections must have occurred inside the hospital and the US Attorney
argued that they had to conduct tests in a populated area to see how a biological agent
would affect that area.
In 2005, the FDA stated that �Serratia marcescens bacteria � can cause serious, life-threatening
illness in patients with compromised immune systems.� The bacteria has shown up in a
few other Bay Area health crises since the 1950s, leading to some speculation that the
original spraying could have established a new microbial population
in the area.
