A US presidential commission has paved the way for testing an anthrax vaccine on children, prompting criticism that participants would be "guinea pigs".But the bioethical issues report said researchers would have to overcome many hurdles before conducting any trial.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius must decide whether to act on the paper's recommendations.

Unless someone can prove me wrong on this....I don’t think the current vaccine approved....has been improved since the early 1960s. Also, if you go out into west Texas and ask Veterinarians (this happened in the mid-1990s at a dinner meeting of the local animal vets). Not a single one in the audience admitted to ever having had the shot. Other than the weapons-testing labs....no one for thirty-odd years ever had the shot.
And correct me if I’m wrong on this....but there’s only one production facility in the US for it.
Stasha and Malaria gonna be the first to try it?
Set the example, show the way....
So disgusting. Just what the kids need - ANOTHER vaccination.
Under obamacare you probably won’t have a choice of whether your kid is ‘selected’ for ‘trial vaccines’.
Conservatives kids will probably predominate the selection process.
There is NO public health justification for mass vaccination with a risky vaccine like anthrax. I don’t know what the hell this panel is thinking.
We have developed improved treatment methods with common antibiotics. Anthrax is not the scary threat it used to be.
This is just vaccine manufacturers lobbying and bribing the panel.
A weaponized strain could easily be modified to counter any antibiotics currently in use.
It could ALSO be modified to render any current vaccine using ‘wild type’ strain to be useless as well.
Money talks, BS walks.
Yup! After all, we gotta make sure Big Pharma gets paid!
you are right, and it is worse than that. I’m a little unsure of the details, but this starts with a Michigan-owned lab taken private. The main owner is a Brazilian-German muslim (does it get ANY stranger?) who used one Admiral Crowe as a front man. There is a wiki entry that touches on this.
