Free Market News
Over the last seven years, the Pentagon only revealed information about a small fraction of the cases in which serious complications caused by giving soldiers the anthrax vaccine, according to the Daily Press. The Pentagon had repeatedly promised to send Congress reports anytime a soldier was hospitalized after taking the vaccine from 1998 to 2000.
In the last seven years, 1.2 million soldiers have been forced to take the anthrax vaccine. Less than 100 cases of complications from the vaccine were reported to Congress, leading experts to project that about one in 100,000 would suffer from severe complications after taking the vaccine. However documents recently obtained by the Daily Press show that over 20,000 soldiers were hospitalized after being subjected to the shot. Among the severe complications that weren’t reported were three cases of Lou Gehrig's disease, a disease that kills the muscles and nerves in the body and always leads to death.
As reported earlier by FMNN, President Bush has requested that every service member in the Armed Forces is given the Anthrax vaccine. A group of soldiers are currently suing the government to prevent themselves from being forced to take the vaccine.
