Anthrax Vaccine?:
For yeas soldiers have been complaining about the Anthrax shots that they are required to take. There are many cases of military personnel being disciplined for refusing the injection. In North America at least these complaints have been dismissed and the whole matter dealt with by military justice. The Australians have just admitted that they knew of the problems with the shots but did not inform the men because they did not want to cause anxiety. Always thinking of the men. I assume that all the western nations armies have access to the same data. I would have to say that this pretty much confirms what the soldiers have been saying all along. Does this mean that all the men who have been convicted under military law should now have their cases re-visited?. I gotta ask myself if the simple act of joining the army should mean that you have to subject yourself to what are essentially experiments by the government on men who have no choice in the matter?
