The Pentagon wants to abandon its policy of anthrax vaccinations for all troops and limit shots to those with the highest risk, officials said yesterday.

A planned announcement of the new policy two weeks ago was delayed because of questions about how much vaccine American civilians might need in case of a bioterrorist attack.

Same s---t different day! Does this not concern you, nothing is new here! The plan now is to vaccinate only those at risk — and not disclose who they would be for security reasons. NOT DISCLOSE is not informed consent!
