The UPI investigation found 17 soldiers who died of sudden illnesses.

With 17 cases I would assume they'd have found the common cause. I expect it's those anthrax shots, so they can't publicly say so.

Do we know whether the anthrax shots provide protection against the anthrax the Iraqis had/have? I know anthrax antitoxin can cause serum sickness, but is it riskier than the immunization shots?
