These documents don't support your claim any more than they support mine. What they say, surrounded in a lot of cases by much hyperbole, is that the anthrax vaccine hasnot been conclusively shown to prevent inhalation anthrax in humans.

Of course, there is no ethical way to put the hypothesis of its efficacy to the test. The primate data, however, would strongly indicate that the vaccine would have a positive impact in humans, and in this case, the primate model looks pretty solid.

I realize that you may be against the vaccine for any number of reasons, but to say flat out that it has no effectiveness against inhalation anthrax would be incorrect. Efficacy against inhalation anthrax in humans has not been proved or disproved.

I agree! They will be testing again but don't force protect. If someone wants to be a guinea pig, they have that right. But to continue in the lie and tell everyone it is safe and effective has no meaning. This is the mantra and people believe it until they are given the real facts. On one hand groups such as the military are told one thing and the postal members are told something different. In other words, they don't know.
