With thanks to Dr. Meryl Nass for raising the issue, we agree that it is important to ask why CDC published their study of antibiotic use after anthrax exposure (5-10,000 recipients) but has not published their study of vaccine use after anthrax exposure (less than 200 recipients, so certainly easier to complete.) Are a significant number of the vaccine recipients suffering adverse effects?

When we may be about to go to war with Iraq, and potentially millions could receive the anthrax vaccine, why is this important research not provided to the public in a timely manner?
