How hard would it be for a lone wolf or a terrorist cell to develop an antibiotic-resistant bacteria and spread it to livestock shows or large gatherings of people?
I imagine it wouldn't be tough at all, especially with a basic setup and some skilled people. Like the poison gas attacks by that cult in Japan, it would take time but could be devastating if executed correctly.
Why isn't this done?
By the way, I tried posting this on /pol/ and gave up after all they posted were frogs and trump memes.

Riggers went to the polls and rigged their hardest to make America great, again.

It is worse than that. At least one nation developed biological weapons and send sleepers worldwide.The work on weapon-grade influenza has come a long way.We don't know if fear and terror weapons (like Ebola) are already operational. One other advantage is that the origin is hard to detect. A preemptive attack could take place any day now. (But this is of couse just roleplaying.)

ebola wouldn't be that effective as a biological weapon though, its not particularly contagious.

that pic lmao

It really wouldn't be that difficult, but the fact you posted it on pol makes me think you want to know for nefarious reasons. So I won't tell you.
What stops people? You would know it's an engineered bacterium and it would probably cause a global meltdown.

It's much easier and safer to use neurotoxin
Do you even know how easy it is to make VX
You don't have to worry because people smart enough to do this don't want to (because they can see how pointless it is)

So you know why that cult used poison gas instead of anthrax? Well they tried to make anthrax, they tried distributing it, they failed. It is very difficult to weaponize biology without a state actor level program

How easy? Not that I want to make it because I'd probably just kill myself, but that sounds like one of the really cool things to know how to do, like making cocaine, or summoning demons.

Each human body creates and shares 'new' viruses all the time.

I'm sure a lab would do a better job.

Yes, it is piss easy. Can be done with a couple hundred bucks and a month.
