Please let me know if there is anything you need or missing:
produce an MLA style research paper, four to five pages, using the research compiled in the annotated bibliography along with any other relevant sources.
Be sure to include both in text citations and a works cited page.
I never created the annotated biblography so that must be done for this paper. Annotate five peer reviewed articles.
Research paper should be an objective, third person, thesis driven empirical analysis of your chosen topic with an MLA style works cited page and in text citations.

This is my Research Topic Proposal that I did If you would like to you it for the paper:
Hello everyone,
Topic: Man made viruses: American and Soviet bioweapons development; Conspiracy theories around Lyme disease and AIDS
Intended Scope: The paper will provide an overview of American and Soviet bioweapons development, specifically focusing on the potential creation of man-made viruses. It will explore the historical context, research programs, and ethical implications of such developments. Additionally, the paper will analyze the conspiracy theories surrounding Lyme disease and AIDS, assessing their validity, examining the available evidence, and highlighting the importance of critical thinking and scientific consensus in evaluating such claims.
Tentative Thesis: The examination of American and Soviet bioweapons development reveals the potential existence of man-made viruses, leading to ethical questions, while the conspiracy theories surrounding Lyme disease and AIDS lack substantial evidence and should be approached critically.
