A CONTROVERSIAL VACCINE PROGRAM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUMMARY: A Reserve USAF NCO writes about his concerns for the Anthrax program.
****************************************
By An Air Force SNCO
Our troops need to hear more information on the Anthrax Vaccine
Immunization Program that is being forced upon them. Interestingly, the
State Department changed their Anthrax vaccination program from mandatory
to voluntary, in May 99. If Madeleine Albright and Strobe Talbot don't have
to get the shots forced on them, why do our troops?
This controversial vaccine program has weakened our Reserve Force. Lots of
well trained, motivated troops have already opted out of the service. The
long-term safety of this vaccine has many wondering what their health will
be like five or ten years down the road. Problem is, there has been no long
term testing of this vaccine, and even though the DOD says it has been
safely giving this shot to veterinarians across the country for years, if
you try to find a veterinarian who has received this shot, you will come up
empty.
The vaccine manufacturer has been cited for purity and quality control
problems, contaminated lots of the vaccine, and if you ever read the FDA
reports on the Vaccine manufacturer, Michigan Biologic, Lansing, Michigan,
you would be appalled. The vaccine manufacturer has given a special deal.
They are exonerated from lawsuits against them, due to adverse reactions
from shot recipients. There are about 50 different adverse reactions to
this vaccine according to the FDA'S own adverse reaction reporting system.
Some of the heaviest reactions, or biggies include meningitis, lymphoma,
and Hodgkin's Disease. Lots of GI's have gotten sick from this shot and on
29 June 99 CBS's Dan Rather aired a segment on the news about the horrors
of this Vaccination Program. People from the GAO have testified in
congressional hearings that this Anthrax vaccination Program should be
stopped because of the fact that this Vaccine doesn't have any kind of
track record over the long haul.
Those who submit to taking this vaccination are "rolling the bones," with
their health. There are US Congressman who have called for an end to this
program, they want this insanity stopped. If the threat of Anthrax from
Saddam Hussein is real, then the Pentagon has saved the Iraqis millions of
dollars in research and development. They know which type of Anthrax we
have vaccinated against, and if we ever meet them face to face on the
battlefield, you can bet that they will throw the other strain of Anthrax
against our troops. You know, the one we didn't vaccinate against! Force
protection doesn't apply here if the enemy has other weapons systems that
they will surely use against us. Inoculating all 2.5 million Active duty
and Reservists with this "witches brew" will cost the taxpayers $130
Million Dollars. Write your congressmen, or call and ask him to defund the
Anthrax Program. This is a waste of the taxpayers money, and it is tearing
our Military apart, and making many sick. Remember the Atomic testing our
troops endured years ago, Agent Orange, and the hallucinogenic drugs our
troops were given as part of an experiment?
The Anthrax vaccine could quite possibly be categorized with some other
things that did more harm than good to our American men and women in
Uniform. Without long term testing of this vaccine in human beings, it is a
DOD Policy that needs cease and desist.

IS THERE HANKY-PANKY BEHIND MANDATORY VACCINES?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUMMARY: Here's an article from last week that should really get your
attention. Remember what my advice was with regard to the "Swell Mattel"?
Always follow the money. Whenever you feel like a fire-hose is being jammed
down your throat, it's usually to distract you from the guy picking your
pocket.

By Phyllis Schlafly, August 25, 1999, The Eagle Forum
After parents whose children had been severely damaged from vaccines
attended a couple of congressional hearings, we might have thought Bill
Clinton's response would have been, "I feel your pain." Not on your life.
The Clinton Administration instead floated plans to gut the federal trust
fund that compensates the families of children who are injured or killed by
reactions to vaccines.
Surgeon General David Satcher told a House committee this month that
Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala might recommend that a
large portion of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program's $1.4
billion trust be turned over to vaccine research. That would be a cruel
betrayal of the parents who financed this trust fund by a 75 cents per dose
assessment on vaccines and were promised compensation from it in exchange
for virtually eliminating the pharmaceutical companies' financial liability
for injuries caused by their products.
The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) received 11,000
complaints last year from doctors or parents. In presenting their claims of
vaccine damages, parents must face a battery of 17 full-time, veteran
Justice Department lawyers assigned to argue against them.
These lawyers have been successful in denying compensation to all but
1,300 of 5,300-plus families. The Clinton Administration has tightened the
screws to make it become more and more difficult for parents to get any
compensation.
Since most children today get up to 33 immunizations before they can be
admitted to public school, parents are starting to ask a fundamental
question. Which is the greater risk: getting and being injured by the
disease, or being injured from the vaccine that purports to protect us from
it?
For example, serious adverse events after receiving the hepatitis B
vaccine, including 48 deaths, are reported three times as frequently as
cases of hepatitis B in children under the age of 14. And, the only polio
cases in the United States since 1991 have been those caused by the oral
polio vaccine, whose use was discouraged only a few weeks ago!
Adults are free to assume risk for reasons of their choice: health,
safety, protection of family or property, entertainment, or even
excitement. But risk is not something that government, in a free society,
should ordinarily force people to accept.
The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) has just
written Secretary Shalala a letter charging that "federal vaccine policy
results in the violation of informed consent, and is based on incomplete
studies of efficacy and potential adverse effects of the vaccines." The
AAPS letter points out that federal vaccine "recommendations" are
transformed into "mandates by state health departments," and that schools
often require many vaccines "as a condition of attendance."
These adverse events include not only immediate reactions to the vaccines,
such as seizures and even death, but also possible long-term effects from
damage to a child's immune system. We urgently need an independent study to
discover if there is a relationship between vaccines, especially when so
many are given to infants in multiple doses, and the dramatic recent
increases in autism and asthma.
The peremptory demand that all infants be immunized, regardless of whether
they are at risk, is now being imitated by the U.S. Armed Forces. In May
1998, the Department of Defense mandated anthrax vaccination -- requiring
six shots in the first 18 months followed by annual booster shots -- for
all 2.4 million service personnel.
Serious questions have been raised about the vaccine's safety. The vaccine
was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) back in 1970 after
being tested on only 26 human recipients, and the long-term effects are
unknown.
Israel does not force its military to take this vaccine. Neither does
France. Neither does England. No country in Europe or Asia forces this
vaccine on its soldiers.
There is so much opposition to the anthrax vaccination among the military
that morale and combat readiness are suffering. This vaccine policy has
caused an ominous exodus of some of our most experienced pilots from the
reserves and the Air National Guard.
There is something drastically amiss when hundreds of servicemen with
exemplary records are accepting court martial, dishonorable discharge, pay
reduction, and time in the brig rather than obey an order to be vaccinated.
So who is profiting from this gigantic vaccine mandate? The Pentagon
contracted with a single supplier, BioPort Corp., and recently agreed to
pay $10.64 per dose even though the contractual obligation was only $4.36
per dose.
ABC News reported that Admiral William J. Crowe Jr. owns 22.5 percent of
Intervac, which gives him a 13 percent share of BioPort, even though he
hasn't "invested a penny" in the venture. Crowe was Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff under President Bush, but made big news in 1992 when he
gave Clinton cover for his draft dodging. Clinton rewarded Crowe with the
prize plum of appointment as Ambassador to England.
The Pentagon badly needs Congressional supervision, and Rep. Benjamin
Gilman (R- NY) and Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) have introduced separate bills
to halt the mandatory anthrax vaccinations.
