Boeing is currently 2-0 with whistleblowers.

I wonder if you could give someone MRSA intentionally. Is that even possible?

Not in the Aljazeera reporting, but Seattle Times says he initially was hospitalized for "trouble breathing": https://www.seattletimes.com/business/whistleblower-josh-dea...

And "trouble breathing" could mean any of a whole bunch of things, a few of which you probably can give someone intentionally…

> 2-0 with whistleblowers

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

MRSA (staph) can be transmitted by wiping a used bandage on someone.

You could even mail it to somebody and when they open the mail, BAM. Or it could be included in the glue of business reply mail. Or wiped on your doorknob.
