Three cheers for the U.S. Military . . . . Hyp Hyp Ocrites !!!
Risk, after all, is by definition a part of the military life, and there can be an understandable temptation for veterans to be dismissive of someone they see as attempting to evade it, or assist others in evading it.
But the assumption of clearly unnecessary risk isn't being brave, or strong, or loyal...
In fact, there are times when it's stupid, and even cowardly, such as in those cases when the risk is assumed 'on the behalf' of others who have no choice in the matter.
There's been enough 'smoke' here, and for some time now, to justify looking for a 'fire'. And we need for those doing that looking to be impartial observers, without any concerns about damage to careers or profits being a potentially 'distracting' issue for them.
At this point, with so many heels dug in so deeply, this may very well rule out using either military investigators as well as representatives from the company manufacturing these vaccines.
It's well past the time to know the truth about this, one way or the other.
I wonder--are any of these folks aware of collodial silver? It kills the anthrax bacillus in under six minutes flat-also over 650 other nasties-including GWS. I know--the point of a vaccine is to introduce the nasty germs in small amounts to provoke the body into developing anti-bodies against future infection-but I say the heck with that !
In fact-if I was still in the military-and I was forced to take this vaccine-I would immediately drink a big glass of collodial silver water as soon as I got off duty !
Collodial silver kills over 650 different types of nasties in under six minutes usually-but the drug companies don't want the general public to know this-for obvious reasons-instead of taking cipro or any other anti-biotic to fight anthrax-I would reccomend taking collodial silver instead-it has never been found to be toxic at any level.
"Interestingly, symptoms of Gulf War Syndrome are identical to the adverse reactions associated with the anthrax vaccine. This is especially relevant given that many of those suffering from GWS never made it to the Gulf, but were in fact immunized against anthrax in preparation for potential deployment, Nass said."
Don't want to forget the Admiral Crowe connection to BioPort.

Who's Fuad El-Hibri????
Dramatic fluctuation in potency between lotsNo human studies
Primate studies indicating inadequate protection against inhalation anthrax (some have shown otherwise)
Failure of the manufacturer to pass ANY FDA inspection
Ownership of Bio-Port
Very good summary here
Excerpt:
In February 2000, a comprehensive review of the program published by the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee concluded that the program should be suspended until questions about side effects and effectiveness of the vaccine are fully answered.... The report noted that, due to impurities and other problems, only 13 of the 31 existing vaccine lots were rated as safe for use and neither the record keeping nor information systems created by the military passed muster./snip
General Accounting Office investigators testified that unpublished Pentagon studies found a systemic reaction rate, ranging from at least five percent to 35 percent or more. These studies also revealed that women were twice as likely as men to experience a reaction. The rates were much higher than those claimed by vaccine advocates within the military. More recently, a 300-page Pentagon report on biochemical warfare defense planning included a passage revealing that the armed forces hope to amend their Biologic License Application to cover use of the vaccine against aerosolized anthrax. Though buried deep within the report, this statement constitutes an admission that their current license provides FDA approval only for the use of the vaccine against cutaneous (skin) exposure.
Among the largest stockholders and members of the BioPort board is Admiral William Crowe, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the first Flag officer to publicly endorse Bill Clinton.
A most interesting individual is Fuad el-Hibri, CEO of BioPort

Backhoe - have you any comments on this?
The military loves to claim that the anthrax shot series does not have as many side effects or presents as much health problems as people have been claiming. They try to back this up with the fact that the reported adverse reactions are minimal to low. BUT they forget to tell you that their system isn't set up to handle any complaints from soldiers etc.
So.. you have to ask yourself, if they aren't asking, or keeping track of soldiers side effects and complaints, how would they know? And if this Vaccine is so great, why didn't the senate or congress take the vaccine to protect themselves, when challanged by military service members 3 years ago? (& that if we were most likely to be exposed to anthrax first in a wartime situation, so why also wouldn't the heads of our government also be targeted?, which I might add, certainly seems to be the case recently.)
A service member proudly gives his life for his country, most are just a tab bit shocked that the military thinks it's an acceptable risk to cripple some of them for the rest of their lives, hence creating a hardship on families, while exposing them to untested, and possibly a very unsafe vaccine.
I have to say, I am not to awfully shocked here, but I do keep getting flashbacks to the Agent Orange, and Gulf War syndrome arguements that were directed at the military. But were only to be deflected as nonsense, until of course, un-refutable proof was given.< /sarcasm>

When doctors want to be absolutely sure no infection arises from a burn-they use silvadine-a paste with silver. I once was burned by caustic soda on my legs--this silvadine was prescribed for me--it healed me up in 3 days-without using any anti-biotics.
I see that you have "Doc" in your handle--are you a doctor? If so-then you must be a member of the AMA-an organization founded in the 1900's to -among other things-ensure that no medical school allow any alternative to pharmaceuticals-can't make big bucks that way. Did you know that folks used to put a silver dollar in their milk-to keep it fresh for days at room temperature? Silver is used in water purification systems as well--to ensure absolutely safe water supplies on airlines or for the military.
I'm may be wrong-but I don't think so-please feel free to set me "straight"--I appreciate constructive critisism- I hope I have not offended you in any way..have a good one....
