What was it like to be on the receiving end of germ warfare? How did scientists and ordinary people in Vietnam react to being the target of alleged biological weapon? How did Vietnamese scientists, politicians, and citizens seek to mitigate the effects of biological warfare (real and imagined)?

This path explores this question by first looking at hunger. Then it moves to active responses to germ warfare through a mass movement and an individual. This path suggests that emotions motivated rapid response to biological weapons and helped shape those responses.
