If you are
facing deployment and orders to take the shots:
Be sure your chain of command and medical personnel know that the FDA has halted
use of the older lots of the vaccine - and that there has not been time to test any new
lots.
Be sure these same people have read and understand the vaccine's new label -
stating that the adverse reaction rate is from 5-35%, not the .2% the old label stated; and that
there have been six deaths related to the vaccine.
Be sure these same people know that legally, the anthrax vaccine is an Investigational New
Drug and therefore requires informed consent. Ask to be provided your Informed
Consent documents. Your won't be provided with them, but you can, through your request, make
the point that it's illegal to give you this vaccine when the FDA has not finalized the ruling about
it's being an Investigational New Drug. When your superiors or medical personnel tell you
the vaccine is licensed, you can accurately reply that it was originally licensed based on data
from a different vaccine, and that it is not licensed for use against aerosolized anthrax.
Be sure you demand to know the lot number of your vaccination(s), and that you
get copies of your shot record and all medical records. Do NOT depend upon the military to
find your medical records or shot record should you need them at a later time.
If you have decided to take the vaccine rather than refuse and risk court-martial, put
yourself on an immediate health regimen that includes vitamins, nutritional supplements,
minerals, and a complete absence of all caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and processed sugar. Your
body needs to have its own immune strength built up as much as possible. See the
health section, page 5 on the index of this web site.
If you decide to refuse the vaccine and risk court-martial, you need to know that most
legal appeals regarding court martial have failed. Please see the
legal section of this site for
further legal information, and read some of the stories on the
Heroes page of this site.
If you have an adverse reaction to the shot, file a VAERS report with the FDA
yourself; do not depend upon the military to do it for you. See

AND
notify your Gongressional delegation,
as well as the House Government Reform Committee
