I prefer the full context. Always.
I accentuated part b) because I felt it was the important part.
Yes. I know. That's why laws have been enacted. Laws like the one which you (partially) cited.

There are far too many examples of three letter agencies ignoring the law when convenient.
yup. Beat me to it. I have Lyme with a bartonella coinfection (at the very least). It is all of this and more. 98% of alzheimers patients have Lyme in their brain fluid. Scary, and very little help to be found. Thanks to the OP for the post.

In which case, your selective quoting of the law is irrelevant.
You attempted to make it sound like the law allows unrestricted testing by the military. It doesn't.
You now claim that the law doesn't matter anyway.

Yes, the law does allow biological warfare testing by the Department of Defense specifically because of the exceptions I selectively quoted. Those exceptions are legal loopholes big enough to float a battleship through, which was the point of my post, so my selective quoting was entirely relevant to my post.
And yes, the law doesn't matter anyway because there are no significant penalties for breaking the law. If Bayer, working under the DoD, were to get the "consent" of some illiterate prisoners for Anthrax testing, and those prisoners die, no one would serve a day in jail over it. At worst, their families might get some taxpayer money after a decade or so. And that's only if it were discovered and proven.
