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?
