I had two friends I served with who had this. For years the military wouldn’t acknowledge it. I also had a few deployment shots and God knows IF it had some effect upon me as I have a rare blood cancer. So, in regards to the current jabs :the pushers can FOAD.
At the time, the situation - unrelated to unfolding situation in the Gulf - dictated my release from the contractual commitment and I wrote a letter. To my surprise, I received discharge papers and, about 30 days later, I also received a notice of deployment by my unit (bureaucracy moves slow).
To this day I regret not being part of that engagement. But one thing will nag at me forever: I’m convinced that had I been deployed I would not be alive today, having succumbed to the combined effects of GWS and depression (like others I knew).
I’ve believed for years that all the crap they gave to soldiers was the primary cause of GWS, but I’ve not been privy to a single, comprehensive investigation of the matter (in contrast to all the diversion to other possible causes, including DU dust).
Thanks for posting; will have to read later.
Anthrax and Gulf War Illness (GWI): Evidence for the Presence of Harmful Anthrax Antigen PA63 In the Serum of Veterans with GWI
There were unverified reports that Sadam Hussein released chemical agents under cover of oil fires.
The Army made me receive a Swine Flu vaccine.
I thought I was going to die.
The Army made me take the Anthrax vaccine.
I did die and they brought me back.
I started taking warfarin.
I took the Covid vaccine because my wife was terrified of Covid.
I took a trip to the emergency room.
I have had no problems with flu, pneumonia and shingle vaccines.
The government doesn’t give a damn about an individual.
My friend Randy was a Vietnam Vet who died of leukemia.
Congress passed a law REQUIRING that the VA find that any veteran in Vietnam who came up with leukemia would AUTOMATICALLY be judged service connected.
The VA refused to find Randy’s leukemia service connected.
The VA employees broke the law with no consequences.
I had that vaccine.
5 shots.
First one was no big deal. After that you had a huge painful knot at the injection site lasting for days after each subsequent injection.
No one should have the right to force someone to take a vaccine, even if in the military. You should be advised, it should be offered... But forced or coerced vaccination is BS may it be in the DOD or civilian life.
Thus subject was brought up here on FR a while back. I will post again.
During the Gulf War, 90-91, I was ‘lottery selective’ for an undisclosed vaccine. (From researching after the last article i am 99.99% sure it came to be the Anthrax V.)
Having served with others with Gulf War illness, I cannot say that is what happened to me. However, I did sick. Massive migraines when headaches in me were non-existent; nausea and vomiting; and not after, critical anxiety and panic attacks.
Of course, they diagnosed me with PTSD. Maybe so. But I am convinced the vaccine was the catalyst inducing this condition. The Military would not support my conclusion.
Were the players the same then and now?
I came out of that place stronger, saner and felt like I could do or kill anything. In fact I went back to deploying there for years with Blackwater and their iterations.
Today, in my 50s, I MAX the Army pushups twice a week (100 reps under 2 mins) and MAX the old Marine requirements for pull-ups (21). That's in addition to out-running 20 years olds, doing full gym workouts and biking. I nearly never get sick - not even now with 2 COVID positive people in my house.
I've heard all there is to hear about Gulf War syndrome, and it's all nothing but a bunch of utter BULLSHIT.
So next time some whiney, broke-dicks (like you) decide to speak for all of us, can you just shut your fkn mouths instead?
That'd be great, thanx.
