Most researchers, policy analysts and public observers disapproved of last month's recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to vaccinate only about 20,000 U.S. health-care workers against smallpox.

Simply make the vacinations voluntary , why make this difficult.

I refuse to take the vaccine.

I think the place that makes the vaccine for anthrax is in Milwaukee if I remember right.

The person that bought the company has a middle eastern name. He is also the one who changed the formula of the vaccine which hasn't been approved by the FDA for anthrax. The one that was making our military personel sick , so much so that many of them took article 15's over taking the poison.

I read something I didn't pay a lot of attention to , but I thought it said this same corporation would be making all vaccines used in America.

Maybe someone here caught that article and can expand on it.
