Because of the potential for the plague to be used in a biological weapon, the government approached Johnson & Johnson and asked that the company pursue federal approval, the Newark Star-Ledger reported.
The case was especially rare because it never underwent a clinical trial of human plague patients. Instead, it was tested on African green monkeys. However, federal officials wanted FDA approval for the plague so they could begin administering it in case of an outbreak, the newspaper reports. It is already a part of the federal drugs and vaccines stockpile.

The FDA approved Levaquin for plague after tests on African green monkeys infected with the bacteria in a lab found 94 percent of the monkeys given Levaquin survived.

Never undergoing a clinical trial, but already being a part of the federal stockpile, hmm, not to mention that 94% value, but maybe it's just coincidence.
US regulators have approved a powerful antibiotic to treat plague, an extremely rare and sometimes-deadly bacterial infection.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also approved Johnson & Johnson's Levaquin, known generically as levofloxacin, to reduce the risk of people getting plague after exposure to the bacteria that causes it.
Called Yersinia pestis, the bacteria is considered a potential bioterrorism agent.
Plague mainly occurs in animals, but people can get it from bites from infected fleas or contact with infected animals or humans.
About 1,000 to 2,000 human cases occur worldwide each year.

“Researchers have learned that the Earth’s biosphere extends to much higher altitudes than previously suspected,” says Wright, “up to 100,000 feet or more.” Indeed, thousands of microbial species have been found in the upper atmosphere, traveling up to thousands of kilometers. The best-studied “atmospheric bridge” is between North Africa and the Caribbean. Each year, up to one billion tons of dust are swept up by Sahara winds, and with a million bacteria per gram of sand, enormous quantities of biomass come along for the ride.

This unexpected biosphere could be more than just a microbiological curiosity: “The upper atmosphere could serve as a global transport system for disease organisms,” notes Wright.

Oxidative therapies such as ozone therapy, ultraviolet blood irradiation therapy, and intravenous hydrogen peroxide therapycan be beneficial for treating a wide range of conditions ranging from viral and fungal infections to joint pain and arthritis.
Oxidative therapies work by stimulating your immune system, enhancing mitochondrial processes and facilitating healing with virtually no side effects
Oxidative medicine can be used as a treatment as well as for a preventive, anti-aging health strategy
While some forms of oxidative therapy should be performed under the supervision of a knowledgeable practitioner, others can be done in the privacy of your own home
Tunguska: Comets, Contagion and the Vernadskiy Mission to NEA 2005NB56
_http://journalofcosmology.com/Panspermia5.html
On June 30th, 1908, there was a massive explosion over Tunguska, in Central Siberia. A number of scientists have proposed that this Tunguska Phenomenon was caused due to the tangential passage of an astral body that grazed the Earths’ atmosphere, underwent a partial explosion and later entered a heliocentric orbit. It has also been argued that astral bodies might deposit microbes and viruses on Earth (contributing to evolution and diseases) and may become contaminated with Earthly microbes. [...]
As detailed by Joseph (2009a) [Comets and contagion. _http://Cosmology.net/Comets.html]:
"In 2005, scientists from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C., resurrected the 1918 virus from bodies that had been preserved in the permanently frozen soil of Alaska. They soon discovered that a completely new virus had combined with a old virus, exchanging and recombining genes, creating a hybrid that transformed mild strains of the flu virus into forms far more deadly and pathogenic. They also confirmed that the 1918 Spanish flu virus originated in the sky, first infecting birds and then spreading and proliferating in humans."
