Was Covid a man-made bioweapon? The topic is debatable. But this isn’t the first medical emergency speculated to be a man-made attack, and history is proof of it. The fear of biological weapons has haunted past, present, and future generations. The entities that cause this may be different, and the reasons for their action may also be different. But their tactic has always been the same- an attack on humanity. One such attack took place in the early 2000s, and Netflix has just released a documentary trailer about it called The Anthrax Attacks.

The 21st century began with a new grim reality for the United States and the world. In a terror attack, two out of the four hijacked planes deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center in New York. The blanket of smoke from the towers soon covered the streets. The attack sent a wave of chills not only in America but worldwide. And as people were picking pieces of the horrible tragedy, another one struck.

The documentary is set to release on Netflix the same month as the attack originally took place. Directed by Dan Krauss, the documentary is being produced by BBC Productions with Clark Gregg in the lead as Dr. Bruce Ivins. The trailer of this new documentary entails a recap of terror attacks on America. The attack caused several deaths and left many admitted to hospitals.

Media houses and politicians were the focus of the attack, and the letters sent with the conspirators’ quote, “Death to America.” But it wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed, with a long list of suspects, and it only got more twisted as their investigation progressed.
