Following a benefit-risk assessment further research into weaponization of smallpox is to be ceased on the order of the Supreme Commander of the Czechoslavonic People's Army, the President for Life Albína Reiserová. According to the Office of the President for Life, the potential benefits of developing and an potential deploymment of smallpox were found to be outweighed by risk of reintroducing the disease to the world and reversing one of the humanity's greatest achievement.
Following a benefit-risk assessment further research into weaponization of plague is to be continued on the order of the Supreme Commander of the Czechoslavonic People's Army, the President for Life Albína Reiserová. Necrosis could have particularly positive effect on raising panic within the armed forces of potential aggressor and among its populace, as could the severity of pneumonic plague. The lack of available vaccination options against the disease multiply both the benefits of developing and an potential deployment of plague as well as its risks, as does the relatively high mortality even with treatment.
Following a cost-benefit analysis the testing of anthrax is authorized on sheep underground the Anti-Air Rocket Base in Dobříš. Anthrax's ease for production, stockpiling and deployment show a great promise. The skin lesions could have particularly positive effect on raising panic within the armed forces of potential aggressor and among its populace. The existence of a vaccine and effectiveness of treatment against the skin infections lowers both the benefits and risks of deployment, while the high mortality of the intestinal and respiratory infections multiply both. Successful usage of the weapon may overextend the capacities of potential aggressor's healthcare facilities, leading to an increased panic and lowering of war support. Removal of anthrax shows promises to bound potential aggressor's resources and capabilities.
Following a cost-benefit analysis the testing of botulinium toxin is authorized on sheep underground the Anti-Air Rocket Base in Dobříš. The extremely high toxicity of the toxin offers many potential benefits, but the difficulty of effectively deploying the toxin severely limits its benefits. Deploying the toxin on food and water sources of the potential aggressor may cause widespread panic and distrust of widely available food and water, successful deployment is likely to overextend aggressor's healthcare facilities, leading to an increased panic and lowering of war support. The lack of vaccine against botulism multiplies the potential benefits and risks, while the effectiveness of treatment limits both. Difficulty of deploying the toxin is a major obstacle.
Following a cost-benefit analysis testing of ricin is not authorized, due to highly limited effectiveness of the toxin, in spite of the ease of development, stockpiling and deployment.
