Subaru Horror Theatre, Vol. 19: Step Into Adventure

“I did it, Stephen. I did it like you told me. I left them in the desert.”

“What are you talking about?” Thomas asked sleepily. “Wait, what are doing in my house?”

Walking into Stephen’s house, Thomas realized he had never been in it without Sharon, some tedious couples thing or play date with the kids. Everything had taken on a new significance: the small bowl Stephen dropped his keys into, the immaculate hallway rug, the white, white, white bedroom filled with light.

Stephen sat up in bed, the light sheet falling away to show his well-toned body. “Tom, what are you talking about?”

“I’m free, I’m free,” I said to him, climbing on the bed and jumping up and down. “We can finally be together.”

We went camping exactly where Stephen suggested, the spot bleak and rugged and isolated. Sharon hated it immediately. “I wanted to go glamping,” she whined. “I wanted to sleep in a sustainably-sourced yurt.” Jackson rolled his eyes and played on his phone until it got dark.

“It’s OK, it’s all going to be OK. I made it look like a bear attack!” I told Stephen excitedly. I was confused when he reached for his phone.

“Who are you calling?” I asked, sitting down on the bed. It was still warm from him. I slid an arm under the sheet to feel it. The whole room had his smell: clean sweat and cut grass and two-stroke engine exhaust. Stephen had a job doing something with computers. But he never smelled like computers.

“I’m calling the police, you fucking maniac!’ Stephen said. I slapped the phone out of his hand.

Sharon was easy. I “bumped” into her while we were hiking the ridge. I watched her fall between two boulders, pinballing between them and I was screaming so that if anyone was around I could call it an accident. Mommy fall down, go boom, Jackson would have said when he was three.

“Why would you call the police? I’m going to go over there and talk to them in a few minutes, silly.” I darted in for a quick kiss. He pushed me away playfully, knocking me off the bed and into the glass balcony doors. “Oh, you,” I said, “always such a tease.” He bolted for the bedroom door and I caught him by the boxer shorts and brought him down. As he clawed at the carpet, I pulled the shorts off. His ass was magnificent.

I watched his wife leave for work, dressed business casual. Sharon told me what she did for a living but I didn’t remember it. She would have to go too. At least they didn’t have any kids. Jackson died hard, screaming Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! as I ripped him up. Bear attack! Rowr! I’m sure the dull knife will look like claws. BOY ATTACKED BY BEAR WHILE GUARDING MOTHER’S DEAD BODY the headline will read. Thoughts and prayers. Set up a GoFundMe. Leave with Stephen for somewhere warm after the fickle eye of social media moved on.

“I got strong for you!” I say as I climb up his back. Painfully erect inside my Dockers, my penis nestles in-between his butt cheeks. Stephen is crying with joy. I try to get my shirt off with one hand but he uses his free arm to elbow me in the face. I fall back stunned, seeing stars. That’s a weird turn of phrase. Do real stars rise and fade when you see them? It makes no sense at all.

That first day I saw him getting the bicycle off the roof of his Forester I knew he wanted me; so I bought a Forester myself and used it to get in shape. Sharon insisted on coming with me and dragging Jackson along. I wanted to go camping with Stephen, couldn’t she understand that? I joined a gym. I ate twelve eggs for breakfast. I made my dad bod melt away. Sharon got all excited that I was taking care of myself but her torn-up vagina repulsed me, her dark-nippled breasts sagged like a milch cow. I would leave the bedroom when she changed clothes. The only release I had was Stephen. I’d watch him from our bedroom window mowing his yard or staining his deck or swimming endless laps in his pool. I wiped myself off with Sharon’s curtains.

“You want to play rough?” I ask him. “That’s OK, I like to play rough too.” I climb back onto his and grab his throat from behind. I dig my fingers into his neck and feel his pulse. I should have brought some rope or tape so we could really play. He gurgled and thrashed, really getting into it. “Stephen?” came a woman’s voice. Goddammit! His wife was supposed to be gone. He began to kick at the floor and bucked me off.

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen, I rolled his name around in my mouth like it was the sweetest candy. That first night on the I saw him in the driveway, in bed with Sharon but thinking about him, I pulled her panties off and took her from behind, in the dark, pushing her face down into her pillow so she couldn’t ruin it by talking. Surprise anal. Surprise! I had to sleep on the couch for a few days but I wanted to be alone anyway. She’s dead now. Her brains are all over the pine needles and rocks. I am free, we will be free.

“Hi, honey, I’m home!” I yell from the top of the stairs. I took the time to strip off my shirt and shorts while Stephen struggled to breathe, no sense getting any blood on them. “Tom!” she gasps, staring at my erection. It is longer and thicker than it has even been. I feel like the skin would begin to split and slough off if it got any harder. “What’s happening?” she asks in her dumb little bird voice. “What’s happening, what’s happening?” I say, mocking her and walking down the steps toward her, my mighty erection bobbing. I’m huge. I could fuck the world. I could fuck it in half.

I’m at the bottom of the stairs. I don’t remember falling. I’m at the bottom of the stairs. I reach for her leg as she runs past me. I am wet. My ears are ringing. Stephen is looking at me. “Motherfucker!” he spits. My chest begins to hurt. My hand is wet. I begin to stroke my erection furiously. “I love you,” I tell him. “I love you.”

      No shit – there are no words I’d even want to have.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      I feel dirty for laughing.

      My first take at the beginning of the ad was “the neighbor is fucking his wife,” but SF’s version goes perfectly with the ending.

      • rhywun

        That ending really left SF with no other option, right? It’s like he was reading my mind.

      SHT lurks in the shadows, duct tape in hand, waiting for you to begin to speak.

  4. Ghostpatzer

    Wow. That is all.

  5. Not Adahn

    Just when it seemed like SHT was getting downright wholesome, we get a return to form.

  6. Bones

    I thought Subaru was a lesbian brand?

    I can’t keep up! Anyway, thoroughly disgusting, and a nice distraction on this most Friday of Fridays.

    Holy shit, that commercial was more homoerotic than the fiction.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Oh lord…

    • juris imprudent

      Yes, you can just imagine the creative session.

      “Wouldn’t you say there are more gay men than lesbians? Isn’t that a demographic we should tap?”

        Are we not doing phrasing any more?

    • Fatty Bolger

      I watched the video first this time, and yeah, you definitely get that vibe at the ending,

    I don’t want to be the home inspector that has to look in SF’s crawlspace.

    • juris imprudent

      Oh I think you can be sure that his trophy collection is far more subtle, and accessible.

      • Not Adahn

        I’m envisioning one of those pushbutton remote controls that drop murphy-bed shelves out of the walls.

      • Bobarian LMD

        Filled with Home Inspectors.

    • Ownbestenemy

      I think this will take those people who reluctantly bit the bullet and said ‘go ahead, give me the shot(s) and be done with it’ to say ‘I thought that was all anti-vaxxer talk, but clearly you have no intentions that are scientific in nature’.

      • juris imprudent

        Why yes, that’s exactly what I say.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Just might be a gift…guess we will see.

      • db

        I surely hope that it will be seen as the naked power play it is. There are plenty of people out there who just got it “to get on with [their] li[ves]” and hopefully will now be awakened to the fact that this is without basis and without end.

        “They mean to rule you.”

      • The Other Kevin

        I’ve seen a lot of people who are just tired of the mask mandates. Compliance is minimal. I don’t think this will go over well. With breakthrough infections, and stories of high -profile people dying while fully vaccinated (Colin Powell?), and entire countries with high vaccination rates still having major waves, the CDC’s credibility on this issue is in the trash. I can’t see them spinning their way through this.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Spinning? That was yesterday. They’re going to mandate the shit out of it.

    • UnCivilServant

      Unless the new definition is “Anyone who’s had the disease or even thought about it”, they can go fuck themselves.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        I’ve got it over here, right behind my 3 by 5 cards that say “I told you so.”

      • Bobarian LMD

        In keeping with the original theme, I believe that Thomas has a drawer full of them.

      “If you’re eligible for a booster, go ahead and get your booster and we will continue to follow,” she said.

        The one thing is not on any of those lines, it’s in murdering anyone who claims you have to do anything to get back what they’re stealing.

    • ignoreLander

      For a while there, I was pondering just shutting up and taking the jab, just to be weak, go with the flow, protect my job, etc.

      Now I look back and am ashamed how weak I almost was. And every single one of these news items, and there are many, steels my resolve more and more that I will never submit to this experimental butchery of human beings.

    • Rebel Scum

      This was always going to happen. It is a respiratory illness (i.e. mutates constantly), after all. The shots are meant to be forever. ///AlexJonesWasRight

    • Sensei

      As J&J sufferer this pisses me off too.

      That said my assumption would be this is bluster. But just. They are already running into a wall on vaccinations and some people will deal with just one injection, but draw the line at two. If you do this you’ll fail to capture this group. Second, unless other countries adopt this same standard it’s going to make things confusing as hell for travellers from other countries coming into the US as well as US citizens going to other countries.

      That said it’s not like I give fools in DC that much credit. I can see them doing exactly that. But realistically statistically it’s going to lower the US vaccination rate and I’m not sure they want to print that number.

  9. Fourscore

    Great work, SF, it’s as though you had never left. I’m only glad this is in the morning, I may be able to sleep but I’ll be nervous as a young mother.

    • trshmnstr the terrible

      I did it, Fourscore. I did it like you told me. I left them in the bee shed.

      • Fourscore

        Oh no, there are some other things drying there, for later!

  10. The Other Kevin

    I do like a good montage, but the montage in that commercial was excessive even by my standards.

    And SF, you’ve once again managed to walk the line between funny and horrifying. Well done.

  11. Not Adahn

    Wait…

    This is a sequel to the Barn Wedding one, isn’t it? Bride knocked up by hipster… IT IS!

    • Ownbestenemy

      That has more scientific basis than any of the past 19 months of SCIENCE!

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      I figured the comments would be gold, and I was right.

      I’m a Scorpio and got both Moderna shots a soon as I could in February and March. The first thing this morning I signed up for my booster shot.
      If you want to see the unvaccinated holdouts step up and get the shots, all news outlets must stop constantly showing people getting a three inch needle shoved into their arms every time vaccines are discussed. The unvaccinated are fearful of the needle! That’s all this is about.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Yep that is all that it is…nailed it right on the head. Why hasn’t anyone promoted this person to the head of the FDA?

      • Surly Knott

        Probably still maintains the gender “they” were assigned at birth.

      • Bobarian LMD

        That’s not how you make Admiral!

      • Ownbestenemy

        But what are the vaccination rates in the Flat Earth Society?

        That’s critical public health information and the Post is completely ignoring it.

      • Fourscore

        Serious question.

        Are there any vaxxers whose opinions are being changed? With the evidence coming in? My only knowledge is a vaxxer friend, he and his wife were looking forward to the boosters. Whatever is necessary to get this pandemic under control.

      • Scruffy Nerfherder

        Who knows. I’ve pretty much isolated myself from my friends in the hardcore vaxxing society. Mostly for my own safety and in an attempt to not go ballistic on them.

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        We were talking about it at my group’s happy hour last night. I said the virus is here to stay, we should get used to it and get on with life. A coworker said, “That’s right. We’ll just get boosters with our flu shots.” Wrong! I got the vaccine because I foolishly thought this would be the end of it. If they start forcing boosters, they can go Brandon themselves.

      • UnCivilServant

        “You’re stupid enough to get the flu shot too? I thought you were better than that.”

      • JaimeRoberto (shama/lama/ding dong)

        That’s almost what I said. I don’t get the flu shot, because every time I do, I get the flu. And even in the best years it’s only 65% effective. The person is fully on board with the Covid theater. She has comorbidities, so she does need to be careful, and I can understand some of her concerns, but she’s too eager to force people to comply.

      • Rebel Scum

        Whatever is necessary to get this pandemic under control.

        Vaccines drive a pandemic, particularly for this type of virus. This was common epidemiological knowledge until recently.

      • EvilSheldon

        First off, yeah? I don’t like needles. That is a small but significant part of my objection to this worthless vaccine.

        Second, do you really think that if the Approved Nightly News stops showing close-ups of people getting shots, I’ll somehow forget that all the vaccines are intramuscular injections? Sweet drunken Enkidu, you’re even stupider than you think I am…

      • rhywun

        Who knew the Stepford Wives was non-fiction.

      • Rebel Scum

        The unvaccinated are fearful of the needle!

        No. As someone with a family history of cardiovascular problems I am concerned about those relevant side-effects. Plus I simply don’t need a “vaccine” for a disease that mutates constantly and has a 99.998% recovery rate in my demographic. CWAA.

    • ignoreLander

      “Astrological signs are tribal,” Rupp told The Washington Post. “They bring out a competitiveness in people because nobody wants their sign to be ranked lowest, even if you don’t believe in astrology.”

      I absolutely want me sign ranked the lowest.

      Oh, and, spoken like a true Team Red/Team Blue moron. “It’s all about Rah Rah Rah Team!”, not any sort of personal or scientific scrutiny.

      • ignoreLander

    Speaking of masks (from the end of the AM lynx):

    robc on October 22, 2021 at 11:17 am
    Larimer Co reinstated a mask mandate this week (Wednesday). Which means it is going in just after cases have peaked, in both CO and the county.

    Stupid. I mean, mask mandates are anyway, but if you were going to do it, about 9/1 would have been the time. While the cases are rising, not after the peak.

    But this way, they can claim cases declined when they imposed the mandate. SCIENCE! vindicates them.

  15. Ownbestenemy

    Off to go do some tax avoidance and deposit $520 in checks. /waves hello to IRS agents with the Let’s Go Brandon gesture.

    Come to think of it…I will now call “flipping the bird” “giving a Brandon” or some variation.

    Did that man just give me the Brandon?

    • rhywun

      the Let’s Go Brandon gesture

      I think it’s this: ??

      It’s not individual transactions – it’s annual total transactions. So you’d better be ready to start a lot of accounts.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I have left instructions in our wills that state…”Do not just throw away books….you should ‘read’ them”

        Hopefully, the kids realize what that means.

      • Fourscore

        Years back a friend’s mother died. After the funeral it was discovered that grand kids had visited grandma’s house earlier and “read” all her books and left them strewn about the floor.

        What lovely grandchildren. Hopefully they were told that Grandma left them all her debts.

  16. Tres Cool

    This time I read it before I watched the commercial.

    I…I…dont know how I feel.

  17. Dr. Fronkensteen

    New company policy. Even though the government hasn’t mandated anything the company I’m working for will give you a choice. Get vaccinated or submit to once a week testing.

    • Sean

      Tell them you want the anal swab testing. Mandate it.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        They probably will anyway. I’m sure they’re going to make it as uncomfortable as possible to do the testing. We’ll see how long I can hold out.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I figure, if I get my accommodation, that it will be this and make sure my presence inside of a facility is akin to wearing a “U” on my chest.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        But medical information is private so your co-worker will never know your vaccinated status. Now stand in this line in the hallway where we’re testing and put on this mask we’re only giving to certain people and no one could ever guess what that means.

      • Ownbestenemy

        When we built our new ATCT here in Vegas, our manager was such an idiot and had all the ‘randomly selected’ persons for drug testing standing in the hallway. Some people got some unpaid leave for that. So yeah, it will be interesting to see how they protect my privacy.

    • ignoreLander

      I’m right on the edge of thinking testing is reasonable (once a week seems excessive however). But, if they make the employee pay for it, then no. It’s the exact same thing as imposing a fiscal penalty, a FINE if you will, if you refuse to bend the knee. I’m not OK with that.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I’m not. Forced medical procedure is unethical.

      • trshmnstr the terrible

        ^^^ this. It may not be so unethical as to warrant quitting and revolting, but it’s not ethical either. Piss test as a condition of hiring? Sure. Piss test on occasion as part of the employment agreement for jobs where being intoxicated can be a safety issue? Okay, I guess. Brain swab for this piss-ass cold virus? Fuck no!

      • Lackadaisical

        Not seeing a distinction between the piss test and this.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Fuck…whatever it fits.

      • db

        Rand Paul retweeted it with googly eyes

      • db

        It’s not even reasonable. The infection fatality rate is very low. I know at least six people who have had it, ranging in age from about 55 to 91. Four became seriously ill, but didn’t require hospitalization (one at 55, two in their 70s), and one died (in her late 50s-early 60s). The 91-year-old had minor symptoms and made it through fine, even though he has some comorbidities including heart issues requiring a pacemaker.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        I guess what really bothers me about this is that we now know that the vaccine is not. It’s more of a pre-therapeutic. Since that is the case if you’re going to test potential carriers and spreaders of the virus. You have to test everyone. Well except those who have had the virus already and have strong immunity. Follow the science indeed.

      • db

        Yes. If you follow a logical path:

        We must test people to ensure they aren’t carrying the virus for the protection of others.

        Those who carry the virus can infect others.

        Vaccinated people can carry the virus, at high viral loads.

        Therefore, all people, even the vaccinated, must be tested.

      • Rebel Scum

        I’m right on the edge of thinking testing is reasonable

        Do you get tested for the flu when you have zero symptoms?

    • Rebel Scum

      Get vaccinated

      No.

      or submit to once a week testing.

      No.

      And good luck finding a suitable replacement.

    Jackson died hard, screaming Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! as I ripped him up.

    pushing her face down into her pillow so she couldn’t ruin it by talking.

    Outstanding.

    • slumbrew

      Yeah, the bit about Jackson was really, really dark, even for SF.

      I feel vaguely nauseated. Or maybe that’s from lunch.

      I watched video after reading – so very, very homoerotic.

    • Ownbestenemy

      CYA, obfuscation, new news cycle….and nothing.

    • Lackadaisical

      It’s a real live murder mystery.

      • ignoreLander

        Just out of curiosity, why was he pointing it at the cinematographer? Shouldn’t it have been at a fellow actor? Plus, how did he manage to shoot 2 people with a single bullet from a prop gun? That seems highly difficult.

      • UnCivilServant

        a .44 round will go through a person, you just need two of them in a line.

      • Not Adahn

        It’s a cowboy movie, so it wouldn’t be .44 magnum.

      • UnCivilServant

        And you think those .44s can’t go through a person?

      • Not Adahn

        The black powder loads were very anemic by modern standards. I have seen a purported demonstration showing them not going through 2x4s.

      • UnCivilServant

        A: Are they even using authentic loads?

        B: I’m going to need more evidence that those weak loads were real, normal, and not aberrant or the result of poor storage conditions.

      • db

        Well, if you take a reproduction gun and use the recommended loads from the manufacturer, sure. I have a reproduction 1858 Remington revolver that will bounce a .44 lead ball off a piece of plywood with the recommended light loads. If you read farther down in the manual you see the “real” loads that aren’t just for plinking at paper. Those will do quite a bit of damage.

        But I am not sure whether they’d “go through” a person. Probably, since lead balls aren’t designed to expand.

        It’s likely that the gun used in filming is a cartridge revolver, and there’s no requirement for it to be of any particular caliber. You can get reproduction guns that look like a Peacemaker that are chambered for .44 magnum or .44 special, which is no joke of a cartridge either.

      • Animal

        The black powder loads were very anemic by modern standards.

        Can confirm. A few years back I got some .45 Colt “Cowboy Action” loads that are supposed to be safe in antique revolvers and more or less duplicate black powder ballistics, plus just a little. The difference between them and my own .45 Colt loads was remarkable. Never fired them at a 2×4, but I know my own loads will go through a railroad tie and will easily lengthwise a big Midwestern farm-country whitetail.

      • db

        For instance, here’s the manual for F.Illi Pietta reproduction guns.

        On Page 18 they show a “suggested” load and a “maximum load. For a .44 revolver, the “suggested” load is 12-15 grains of FFFg black powder. the “Maximum” load is 35 grains of FFFg.

        I can tell you the suggested load will bounce off plywood, as I said (which scared the crap out of me the first time I fired the gun, because the round came right back at me). The maximum load punches through a lot of wood.

        Even in that case, I always understood that the standard practice was to place armor glass between the camera and the shooter. The “making of” features on The Matrix went over this, IIRC.

      • db

        And TBH, even with armor glass, I have such an ingrained reaction against pointing a gun at a person, I’d feel really creeped out by doing it for filming.

      • Lackadaisical

        Never knew that, what about when pointed at other people on screen?

      • db

        At least in the case of The Matrix, yes. But it was filmed in Australia, I think, so perhaps they have laws regarding that, or stricter protections in the standard contracts?

        They should either be shielded, or use camera tricks to make it look like they are firing at other people even though they aren’t.

        It’s a real live murder mystery.

        In one of the Hitman games that was one of the methods of killing an actor target on the opera level – replace a prop gun with a real gun.

      • ignoreLander

        That freaking thing took me an hour and a half to set up dammit. But it was by far the most satisfying method. You could stand there in the theater and watch the target get shot, then waltz on out into the streets in plain view, with no one suspecting anything. Good times….

    • db

      According to that article Baldwin was demanding to know why he was given a “hot gun.”

      I think everyone around Baldwin should demand to know why he didn’t inspect the gun himself to make sure it was cold.

      • db

        I mean, seriously. Someone hands you a gun, the very first thing you do is remove the magazine if it has one that can be removed, and then inspect the action.

      • UnCivilServant

        Ignorance is no excuse. You know guns can be dangerous to handle. If you have any questions at all, you ask them. Would an actor jump out of an airplane without being thoroughly instructed in the use of his parachute?

      • ignoreLander

        Do you think he knows how to check?

        ^^^^ This. To Baldwin, guns are icky unless they’re props helping him to make multi million dollars. I guarantee, he knows nothing about firearm safety, smugly thinking that’s for “those deplorables in flyover country”.

      • EvilSheldon

        You seriously expect a Very Important Hollywood Actor to do something that you or I could have done by age six?

        I’m still wondering where the firearms master was in all this, assuming there even was one. Did Alec fire the gun while filming, or was he dicking around with it off-camera?

      • db

        Very good question. If he was not actively filming, the gun should have been in the care of the weapons wrangler.

      • db

        I also think that even with a weapons master on set, the final responsibility lies with the person wielding the firearm to verify its safety. Nothing absolves the shooter from ultimate responsibility, even if there are other staff that also have legal responsibility.

    • slumbrew

    You know how LCPS board had no record of the bathroom rape? They totally had a record of the rape.

    Good Afternoon, Board Members, The purpose of this email is to provide you with information regarding an incident that occurred at Stone Bridge HS. This afternoon a female student alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her in the restroom. The LCSO [Sheriff’s Office] is investigating the matter. Secondary to the assault investigation, the female student’s parent responded to the school and caused a disruption by using threatening and profane language that was overheard by staff and students. Additional law enforcement units responded to the school to assist with the parent. The school’s counseling team is providing services for students who witnessed the parent’s behavior. The alleged victim is being tended to by LCSO.

    • db

      Well it was clearly a mistaken report on the part of the female student, as she alleged that a male student sexually assaulted her.

      • juris imprudent

      • Gustave Lytton

        And why is the rape weaseled but the parent incident, statements, and overheard by stated/students stated as a fact?

      • Not Adahn

        Because the rape would be a liability to the school, but the vicious racist parent being a Trumpalo is an obvious fact?

    I wonder if major film actors carry insurance in case they accidentally cause harm to another cast or crew member during the performance of their professional duties?

    • one true athena

      Individually? Probably not. Someone like Tom Cruise might because he does his own stunts but generally SAG is their cover. It’s usually the production who carries the insurance against the actor – like when you hear about talent that’s uninsurable because of substance abuse. And there are LOTS of rules for firearm handling – clearly more than one person fucked up. I read on Twitter that the armorer had walked off a few days ago, so if that’s true and the production didn’t replace that person, that’s a yuuuuuge liability.

      But Baldwin is definitely not the type to know what to do. There are actors who know – someone like Keanu and Jim Caviezel who’ve had lots of practical training, or a few who served like Adam Driver who was a Marine (though hardly any project of his uses guns), but most get the bare minimum and depend on the crew.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I read on Twitter that the armorer had walked off a few days ago

    “More recently, Dr. Fauci has been a key figure in the White House and Department’s response to bioterrorism. His contributions to this effort have been outstanding and include the development of the departmental strategy to augment smallpox vaccine supplies and the development of a plan to develop new anthrax vaccine. He serves as an expert consultant to the White House, the Secretary of DHHS, congressional staff, and a number of HHS groups on the development of biodefense-related research, and public health priorities. He is leading the development of a series of research initiatives, has coordinated fast-track initiatives for academia and industry participation in biodefense-related research, and is responsible for the development of future intermediate and long-range research plans and policies for a sustained and committed biomedical research response to bioterrorism threats. During FY2004, under Dr. Fauci’s leadership, NIAID significantly expanded, intensified, and accelerated its research programs in biodefense.”
