The government has already contracted out for the making of the small pox vaccine. Instead of giving it to Merk, who knows how to make vaccines, they gave it to a company that has NEVER made a vaccine. OKAY. At this point the depth of their idiocy is no surprise.
But I would still like to see Gertz or Sammon investigate why in the h!ll would they do something that appears SO STUPID!!!

The other reason is that the vaccine stocks that are most likely to be used have not been licensed. The Food and Drug Administration says the vaccine has passed muster, but its licensing is awaiting final evaluations at BioPort Corp., the Lansing, Mich., company that makes the vaccine
And we will never know the numbers of those who suffered from the harsh effects of Cipro from an ear infection on up to athrax! I would take neither.
thanks t for the heads up!

Nor would I.
I especially wouldn't take ant government issued Anthrax or smallpox vaccine.
I would take antibiotics though, if I felt I needed to.
