Preventing US troops from being protected by that vaccine is extremely convenient for a country which has an interest in making sure we would be vulnerable to the one weapon he has aplenty... biological weapons. Keeping US troops and civilians vulnerable until the time was ripe to make a strike on the US is also rather handy.
More than ever I believe the anthrax cases, and the events of 9/11, lead back to Iraq.
"As with GWS, however, the scientific evidence is so lopsided that Rep. Shays and the media feel compelled to invent experts to oppose the vaccine. One such is Dr. Meryl Nass, who has testified before Rep. Shays's committee. Although dozens of newspapers have identified her as an anthrax-vaccine specialist, she is nothing more than a Maine physician who argues for the existence of GWS and another syndrome the mainstream medical community rejects, multiple chemical sensitivity. She's also a member of the activist, antimilitary group Physicians for Social Responsibility.
Gannett News Service reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner John Hanchette, himself a GWS advocate turned antianthrax-vaccine crusader, calls Nass a "much-published expert on anthrax," failing to mention that her only publication in a major medical or science journal was a letter to the editor. Nass admits that her expertise on anthrax is simply self-learned, but she makes up for it with a loud voice, a sturdy soapbox, and spicy comments that activists and reporters like to hear. She has been made an expert precisely because she says outlandish things that actual experts in the field would never say." - SOURCE
