Petition: Stop medical experimentation on soldiers (Anthrax vaccine experiment conducted on IDF)

Physicians for Human Rights says severe failures found in Anthrax vaccine experiment conducted on IDF soldiers between 1999 and 2006. Attorney: These days it is more difficult to experiment on animals than on humans

Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) filed a High Court petition on Thursday calling for an end to medical experiments being carried out on IDF soldiers and the establishment of an external committee to investigate the matter.

A second petition on the matter was filed by a group of soldiers represented by Attorney Boaz Ben-Zur. The soldiers are demanding that they be recognized as casualties of the experiment.

PHR's petition was filed based on the group's findings regarding the "Omer 2" experiment aimed at finding an Anthrax vaccine, which was conducted on some 800 soldiers between 1999 and 2006.

The organization's study found severe failures in the experiment, mainly during registration and the tracking of the soldiers' condition during and after the experiment.

According to PHR, the soldier's were presented with false information regarding the safety of the vaccine, which was developed in the US. In addition, due to the experiment's confidentiality, the soldiers' were not given the opportunity to consult sources outside the army based prior to signing the waver.

"These days it is more difficult to experiment on animals than on humans," said Attorney Michael Spharad, who filed the petition on behalf of PHR. "The existing orders in the IDF make it easier to conduct medical experiments without proper supervision."

Government: Vaccines threaten up to 44,000 soldiers

‘This really is like Russian roulette. Spin the chamber and take your shot’

A U.S. soldier in Iraq is being punished for refusing an anthrax vaccine that has a questionable safety record and apparently will be drummed out of the service.

But such punishments may be of no avail to the military; the word already is out in a government report that up to an estimated 44,000 service members could end up with “severe adverse events (including) disability or death” from such mandatory medicines.

The recent case involves Pfc. Leif Hamre, 22, who reports he’s been subjected to threats and intimidation after refusing to take the controversial anthrax vaccine and was given a variety of punishments, including 18-hour work days.

Hamre reports he was given an ultimatum in June to take the vaccine or be punished but couldn’t accept the medication, especially after he discovered the military wasn’t even handling the vaccines under the rules for storing it at the correct temperature.

In an open letter to friends and family members, he said, “The tactics they have used to coerce me into taking the shot are unregulated, unscrupulous and downright un-American.”

He reported he then was given an Article 15 – a non-judicial punishment in the military – and his mother reported he was taken off missions, assigned extra duty and had his pay scale lowered.

Read “Vaccine A”, which is the most informative book you will ever find on the Anthrax “vaccine”, and the the testing that is being performed without the knowledge or approval of the American military.

I will never, EVER, administer that vaccine, even if I get discharged. I cannot in good concience give somebody a syrine of that poison knowing what it does the body.
