"...Washington, Oct.25 (UPI)- The Obama administration is mulling whether an anthrax vaccine meant to protect against bioterrorism attack should be tested on U.S. children, officials say..."

Of the original 800,000 1991 Gulf War Troops, ALL of whom did get the Anthrax vaccine, well over 25,000 are now DEAD. They were NOT killed by an enemy in war, but by U.S. Gov't. testing of a vaccine adjuvant, Squalane, added to the Anthrax vaccine without any legal authority. The DOD denys this even though they were involved in this adjuvant's testing on animals during the same time. The DOD also has stated that ALL vaccination records for ALL veterans with severe health conditions attributed to the 1991 Gulf War are somehow MISSING. Approx. 125,000 of the living 800,000 1991 U.S. Soldiers are severely sick. Some of this number were never deployed to the Gulf War area.

Please read this excerpt from GAO-REPORT 103-97, [referred to as Senate Report 103-97]
This will explain why even the idea of
GOV'T. TESTING ANY VACCINE on ANY AMERICAN, audult or child, is LUNACY !
[EXCERPT FOLLOWS HERE]
Anthrax vaccine is an FDA-approved vaccine that is considered safe and effective for individuals whose skin may come in contact with animal products such as hides, hair, or bones likely to contain the anthrax infection. It is also recommended for veterinarians and others who are likely to touch infected animals. (Note 61) However, the vaccine's effectiveness against inhaled anthrax is unknown. Unfortunately, when anthrax is used as a biological weapon, it is likely to be aerosolized and thus inhaled. Therefore, the efficacy of the vaccine against biological warfare is unknown.
It appears that there is only one relevant animal study which showed that anthrax vaccine apparently provided additional protection against relapse in monkeys exposed to inhalation anthrax and treated with antibiotics. (Note 62) Although the results of this study suggest the vaccine might protect against anthrax that has been sprayed, it is not sufficient to prove that anthrax vaccine is safe and effective as used in the Persian Gulf. The vaccine should therefore be considered investigational when used as a protection against biological warfare.
The anthrax vaccine is given as three injections 2 weeks apart, followed by three additional injections given 6, 12, and 18 months after the initial injection. If immunity is to be maintained, subsequent booster injections of anthrax vaccine are recommended at 1-year intervals. (Note 63) According to the Interagency Task Force on Persian Gulf War Illnesses, one dose provides some immunity in 85 percent of those individuals vaccinated. (Note 64)
According to the Michigan Department of Public Health which manufactures anthrax vaccine, it is not known whether anthrax vaccine is safe for pregnant women or their offspring.
III. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
A. FOR AT LEAST 50 YEARS, DOD HAS KNOWINGLY EXPOSED MILITARY PERSONNEL TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES, OFTEN IN SECRET. The U.S. General Accounting Office issued a report on September 28, 1994, which stated that between 1940 and 1974, DOD and other national security agencies studied hundreds of thousands of human subjects in tests and experiments involving hazardous substances. (Note 65) GAO stated that some tests and experiments were conducted in secret. Medical research involving the testing of nerve agents, nerve agent antidotes, psychochemicals, and irritants was often classified. Additionally, some work conducted for DOD by contractors still remains classified today. For example, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has not released the names of 15 of the approximately 80 organizations that conducted experiments under the MKULTRA program, which gave psychochemical drugs to an undetermined number of people without their knowledge or consent. According to the GAO report, the CIA has not released this information because the organizations do not want to be identified. (Note 66)
WORLD WAR II VETERANS
As recently as 1993, the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences reported that an atmosphere of secrecy still existed regarding World War II testing of mustard gas and lewisite. (Note 67) Although many documents pertaining to the World War II testing programs were declassified shortly after World War II ended, others remain "restricted" even today. In addition to the classified or restricted documents, World War II veterans who participated in the research were sworn to secrecy. These classified documents and promises of secrecy have impeded medical care for thousands of veterans during half of the last century.
For example, Rudolph R. Mills participated in gas chamber experiments as an 18-year-old in 1945, one year after he joined the U.S. Navy. (Note 68) He was sworn to secrecy and did not learn until 46 years later that approximately 4,000 servicemen were human subjects in mustard gas experiments conducted from 1942 through 1945 by the Chemical Warfare Service. Although his health began to deteriorate even before his discharge from the Navy in 1946, he did not learn that mustard gas might be responsible for his physical problems until more than 40 years later. At a May 6, 1994, hearing of the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, entitled "Is Military Research Hazardous to Veterans' Health? Lessons from World War II, the Persian Gulf War, and Today," Mr. Mills testified, "I had on an experimental mask and the Navy was trying to determine if people wearing these masks could communicate with each other. I was enticed to sing over the intercom....No one ever told me that the mask became less effective against the gas with each use....We were sworn to secrecy....At the age of 43 I underwent a long series of radiation treatments and later surgery to remove part of my voice box and larynx....It didn't occur to me that my exposure to mustard gas was responsible for my physical problems until June 1991, when I read an article in my hometown newspaper." (Note 69)
John T. Harrison participated in Navy chemical tests in 1943 to get an extra week pass. He was also sworn to secrecy. According to written testimony submitted to the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs by Mr. Harrison, "[I] was never warned or told anything about the dangers of what [I] volunteered for....told never to reveal what [I] did or where [I] was; if anyone asked [I] was to say [I] was on rowing maneuvers." (Note 70) At the time of his discharge from the military, he could not even describe his exposures to a Navy doctor who was trying to determine the cause of his severe respiratory illnesses. Although Mr. Harrison has suffered from recurrent breathing problems and has greatly diminished pulmonary function, he has never received any compensation for his illness. According to the VA and DOD, his medical and services records have been lost, making it difficult to prove that his disability is service-connected.
The anthrax vaccine can make virile, adult young soldiers sick to the point of death.
I wonder what that would do to a child?
They try and “test” that sh*t on my kids and they better bring some body bags.
WTH? All this stuff about vaccine for this, vaccine for that... I am beginning to truly wonder if the government isn’t deliberately using our children as petri dishes? The HPV vaccine first to girls... then boys... now this? Before all the pro-vaccine nut-jobs get in and start talking about polio and small pox, let me say this: No way, no how. Never on mine.
Gee. Didn’t someone comment about forced sterilizations or something? Let me see.... Hmmmmm
Follow the money.
I’m very pro vaccine, but I think they vaccinate for way too much stuff. And sexually transmitted diseases, that’s joke. Every baby I have, I have to repeat why I don’t see the need for my newborn to be vaccinated against an STD when only two days old.
The reason they are doing this is to dumb down or soften society so that they can issue the vaccine they have been dying to unleash across the US and make it mandatory.
The AIDS vaccine, the one preventable disease, but remember gay is good!!!
And you will have so called conservative FReepers saying, “It can cure it, wouldn’t you want to cure something?!” Or, “you’re too young to remember an iron lung”. Or my absolute favorite, “it is pretty tin foil hat thinking to think a company would injure people just for billions of dollars”.
I personally know someone who suffered significant ill-effects from Anthrax vaccinations. She was perfectly healthy and is now in constant, agonizing pain and cannot walk. While many have been vaccinated without incident, I feel the risk is too high. Her life is ruined.
And from you: The REAL objections to the continued and MANDATORY use of the UNSAFE, UNTESTED, Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed which is to date UNCERTIFIED by any independent scientific laboratory are too numerous to list here. You can SEARCH/GOOGLE these.
So, which is it? Is it an FDA approved vaccine, safe for use... or is it untested and not certified.
Your excerpt contradicts your claims.
Obama just took a big campaign donation fron Pfizer.
I wonder who gets to make this poisin for the kiddies?
Shades of Pre WWII Germany.
I have a better idea. Lets test it on politicians.
And let me guess. The Obama administration/government is going to allow China to produce and distribute said “vaccine”...eh?
Fat f’n chance. Let’s roll.
Three guesses, and as usual, the first two don’t count.....assuming you even NEED the first two.
