Hmmmmmmm.....
I think someone made a lot of money on the cure???

And were the ones who made it...
All those shots for nothing...

I wasn't criticizing your choice to join the American Military Red Pope, many of my best friends are current or former US military and 2 of my uncles are former Canadian military (not to mention my GrandDad) I'm criticizing the way the US Government forces it's soliders to use untested and unapproved "vaccines" "uppers" "downers" and what have you, which leads to problems like Gulf War Syndrome. I personally don't think signing up for the military gives the Government the right to treat you like a lab rat. Sorry if you disagree.

Oh Well, my friend gypsy this former Guinea Pig is MAKING 1800 dollars extra, per month, as a cash flow with full benefits for serving 20 years, tax free for the rest of my life, not counting my salary and many other goodies.

Don't worry, I don't expect you to understand "that way of life," with your cynical criticism of a plain and maybe broke civilian. Stuck in Qatar.

According to my readings when Anthrax broke out, there was only one company that has the vaccine. That company was owned by Bush family and Bin Laden family. Cannot recall the sources. Just recalling memory. Hope am not that old and halloucinating

A lot of people got sick like hell, i was one of them, just like Vegas said: We had no choice in the matter, either we refuse or got kick out of the military for disobeying a general order. They hurt more than the regular vaccinations.

What Is Anthrax?

Anthrax is a disease caused by a type of bacteria called Bacillus anthracis. The germ produces infectious spores that, when buried in the ground, can live for years. Anthrax is most often seen in wild and domesticated cattle, but it also can sicken humans who touch or inhale any spores from a live or dead infected animal, or eat undercooked meat from an infected animal.

According to the CDC, anthrax is a likely candidate for use as a weapon of biological terrorism, or bioterror. There are two antibiotics -- Cipro and doxycycline -- currently FDA-approved for preventing the development of anthrax after exposure, or the worsening of symptoms after the disease has taken hold. In addition, penicillin can be used to treat symptoms, but only in those patients known to be infected with a penicillin-sensitive strain. Anthrax is curable if it is recognized and treated early enough in the development of the infection.

The disease takes three distinct forms depending on how the germ enters the body: cutaneous (through a cut or scrape on the skin), inhalation (breathed in), and gastrointestinal (eaten). All forms of anthrax are quite rare in the U.S. But when one does occur, symptoms usually show up a day to a week after exposure. Here is a list of what these symptoms look like:

Cutaneous: Starts out with a bump like a mosquito bite, usually on the hand, but within a few days, it turns into a painless, open sore with a tell-tale black center of dead tissue. This form of anthrax is highly treatable, and about 20% of untreated victims die.

Inhalation: At first, it feels like the common cold, but it can rapidly progress to severe pneumonia with difficulty breathing and shock. This form is usually fatal without treatment, but it is not contagious.

Gastrointestinal: Begins with loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and fever, and it progresses to vomiting of blood and severe diarrhea. This form is deadly in 25% to 60% of cases but is extremely rare in humans and almost unknown in the U.S.

Farm animals are regularly vaccinated against anthrax, but formulas prepared for livestock should never be used in people. A human anthrax vaccine does exist, which is used to boost the immune system. The vaccine for people is about 93% effective, but for now, it's available only to military personnel deployed to areas with a high threat of biological warfare and to people who work closely with the bacteria, potentially-infectious animals, or animal by-products. The only other way to develop immunity to the disease is to have survived a previous anthrax infection. The body then recognizes the dangerous type of bacteria again and knows how to fight it.

Immunization isn't a quick fix, anyway. It requires three shots given two weeks apart, three more shots given six, 12, and 18 months later, then annual booster shots after that. There are no live or dead anthrax bacteria in the vaccine, and the serious adverse reactions are rare (about 0.2%).

You can reach the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program in the U.S. Army Surgeon General's Office at 1-877-GETVACC.

of making Anthrax and killing several people, whereas Govt. of USA was blaming Al Qaida for several years even knowing the facts.

(Ex-Army scientist Bruce Ivins, seen here in 2003, died from an apparent suicide last week.)

It's like Norton Anti-virus, they make viruses and launch updates and new versions for people to spend money. Thats how these companies work and earn money.
