Read about this in Judith Miller's Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War.
The bacterial species released was Serratia marcescens. If you've ever seen a pinkish build up in your shower these bacteria are to blame. Normally doesn't affect healthy people but people with compromised immune systems aren't so lucky.
Operation Sea-Spray was the US Army operation that dispersed S. marcescens over SF. The Army has done similar tests with Bacillus globigii and even carcinogenic chemicals.

If you think this is interesting look up the Rajneeshi bioterror incident of 1984 and the 1993 Aum Shinrikyo Tokyo anthrax attack.
The same Judith Miller that helped justifythe Iraq invasion?
Oh wow I wasn't aware of this. Yeah, same person...
I actually learned about this on Notgabbyb‘s YouTube channel. It’s insane what we learn about and then somehow don’t riot on.
