Pentagon conducting research into adverse effects of anthrax vaccine while maintaining it is safe

The Pentagon resumed its controversial mandatory anthrax vaccinations program for selected troops last week despite the fact that its own doctors are quietly conducting research into adverse effects of the vaccine, a RAW STORY investigation has found.

While the Defense Department maintains that the anthrax vaccine is safe and poses no long-term risks to recipients, a little-known program at Walter Reed – the National Vaccine Healthcare Center – seems to contradict the military’s assertions.

Documents obtained by RAW STORY, including a participant’s agreement, case history and government documents, show that military medical personnel have known since at least 1998 that there are genetic triggers between illnesses and some required immunizations, including the anthrax vaccine. They also reveal the military knew and did not implement routine pre-screening which could help reduce vaccine-related illnesses.

9. They're what in the old days were called "cannon fodder," so they're

expendable for the greater good of PNAC and the new Pax Americana.
Most don't seem to give a hoot about the potential harm implicit in the widespread and indiscriminate use of depleted uranium munitions, so I wouldn't be too surprised if this anthrax vaccine news doesn't make any waves either.

so this can be front paged - assuming it gets the votes... we must stop this mandatory vaccination program, as we sit, soldiers are being injected with a toxin... we cannot sit idly by.

12. Far too late for some

This shit started in 2002, after the so-called Anthrax attacks. Which, of course, allowed literally tens of millions of doses of this shit to be tested on human test subjects, also known as soldiers...

Hopefully, my future brethren will be spared.
