Bacterial pathogens (and even safe bacteria) are stored short-term on agar plates or agar tubes (which are a gel, not an injectible liquid form) in refrigerators. Long-term storage is done in liquid nitrogen. Gerry seems to take the highly pathogenic bacteria from a room temperature clear plastic box. He injects himself with a clear brown liquid, which is not a form that would be in storage. Later, it is announced that people were being injected with a vaccine, which is not a bacteria. At most, it is an attenuated strain of a pathogen, not a living bug. Vaccines do not cause the illness they are meant to protect against. See more »
