NEW YORK (Reuters) - A presidential ethics panel has opened the door to testing an anthrax vaccine on children as young as infants, bringing an angry response from critics who say the children would be guinea pigs in a study that would never help them and might harm them.
The report, however, released on Tuesday by the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, said researchers would have to overcome numerous hurdles before launching an anthrax-vaccine trial in children.

Th new Health Czar, J. Mengele, says he sees no problem with the program.
“presidential ethics panel”
Kind of a contradiction in terms isnt it?
… Under a 2005 law, children in an anthrax-vaccine study would be prohibited from seeking damages through the legal system. The presidential commission, said Gutmann, "strongly recommended that a plan be in place to compensate any children" who are harmed.
Follow the money. Who is making the vaccine? Who will market the vaccine? Who is to administer it? Who will enforce its administration?
Who is donating to Obama?
Once they get a FDA approved --pediatric anthrax vaccine, then millions can be sold to government for security reasons.
Will Obamacare make us all guinea pigs??
I think the "free" flu shots for seniors in particular is a case of almost mandatory....Bottom line...the shots didn't work so well for them this year....Kinda makes you think of over use of antibiotics.
