Anthrax
Robert Koch was racing Pasteur to find the cause of a disease called anthrax,
from which great numbers of cattle in Europe were dying. Taking blood from the
diseased cattle and isolating bacteria from it, Koch then injected mice with the
bacteria. When the mice died, Koch then cultured blood from them and compared it
to the original bacteria form the cattle. He developed procedures and his
Postulates are still memorized by medical students the world over as the
foundation of the Germ Theory:
1. the organism must be present in every case
2. must be isolated
3. must cause the disease in a healthy host
4. must be isolated again
Each postulate has been disproven, then and now, but that has not cheated
them of their place as basic tenets in the Germ Theory religion. Both Koch's and
Pasteur's vaccines for anthrax were colossal failures, with thousands of sheep
killed all over Europe as part of the "experiment," especially in Italy and
Germany. It is also interesting to note that both Koch and Pasteur did
everything possible to alter and cover up the results of these failures. (Hume)
