Hmmm ~ we had people die from anthrax in this area. The main facility in DC was put out of business. So many folks at Headquarters (where I worked) had been exposed directly (by visting the DC PO, or another contaminated facility, or Capitol Hill) you could get CIPRO simply by appearing awake and alert at 3 PM.

Just about everybody on Capitol Hill working for Congress had it available.

Things may have been different in New York ~ maybe someone was trying to balance the fire department's budget by holding back CIPRO.

Hence you make my argument for me and CHANGE your verbiage. 10's of thousands did NOT take CIPRO they were OFFERD IT. Exposure to the places where it was is not exposure to Anthrax. The spore has to be breathed in for the symptoms to develop, several DID die from this and that is not argued, what IS argued is the delivery method...it stunk, it will do very little for the effort, especially now with may mail, shipping and other such facilities having detections like the ones we have in the military.

Just about everybody on Capitol Hill working for Congress had it available.

And Dept, of state and DOJ and more...VERY FEW TOOK IT. You just can't seem to admit that.

What an idiotic and vapid line, it smacks of sour grapes whining. As for the money, I would not know, I simply fought fires and answered to on scene calls when called, that was between deployments in the military.
