20,000 Troops Hospitalized after given Anthrax Vaccine
The Pentagon never told Congress about more than 20,000 hospitalizations involving troops who’d taken the anthrax vaccine, despite repeated promises that such cases would be publicly disclosed.
Instead, a parade of generals and Defense Department officials told Congress and the public that fewer than 100 people were hospitalized or became seriously ill after receiving the shot from 1998 through 2000.
Why didn’t they report these 20,000 cases?
They said that if all hospitalizations had been filed with VAERS, it would have overloaded the system and caused problems for experts trying to analyze the data.
And how many troops have since received these shots, young Americans that might have declined this toxic vaccination had they known…. Wake Up America- They’re f*@%ing over our own troops! As PO’ed Vietnam Vet Stan Goff said, “They did it on Purpose!” (mp3)

the Malaria vaccine isn’t any better
U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Bill Howell began taking Lariam before going to Iraq in 2003. In March, three weeks after returning home, Howell fatally shot himself in his front yard.
