Identify three types of potential biological warfare agents?
The three types of potential biological agents are :Bacteria : Plague / Anthrax / TularemiaToxins : Ricin / Botulism / Staphylococcal Enterotoxin (SEB)Virus : smallpox
How effective is the anthrax vaccine?
Medical studies show that the anthrax vaccine was safe and effective, vaccines use a system of injecting dead or weakened pathogens of the virus it is curing, that way the individual's immune systems B cells learn how to produce antibodies for that disease.

Not always. A common sales pitch is to boast of "all-natural" ingredients. Nightshade, botulism, cobra venom, anthrax, etc. are all 100% natural, but not the kind of thing you'd want in your ice cream, right?
