You were right about where to look for his cure. Why was dr. Nichols making anthrax in the first place? He was a brain scientist downgraded to working on the flu. Brown comes along asking for help on his thesis Would have been more than happy to share his knowledge. There was no indication that Nichols had any idea what Brown was planning. His strain and its cure are getting locked up in containment at Fort Detrich, with all the other bio-Agents people don't know about. Hmm. Really.
