Seventy-three years ago this month, a San Francisco man checked back into a local hospital after his recent prostate surgery, setting off a chain of events that revealed the existence of a covert U.S. military test conducted in the Bay Area.
It was one of at least 239 tests that covered American cities in bacteria as part of a germ warfare program conducted at the height of the Cold War. The tests were conducted without the public’s knowledge, which the general heading U.S. biological warfare programs later testified would’ve been “completely impossible” without causing widespread panic among “uninformed” Bay Area residents.
