Soldiers Must Receive Vaccinations for 'Protection'
The drug biz's wartime shot-in-the-arm
Voluntary vaccination vindicated
If you've been a reader of mine for long at all, you know I'm
not a fan of the vast majority of vaccinations — for children
or adults. For the most part, I think they're needless. And
since they cause hundreds of deaths per year from adverse
reactions, I believe the risks of vaccination far outweigh the
benefits (if there are any). But as usual, I'm in the minority
on this issue. The bulk of medicine champions injecting folks
with a whole litany of the very diseases they hope to
prevent…
Especially people who HAVE NO CHOICE: Soldiers.
A year and a half ago (Daily Dose, 6/17/2003), I sounded the
alarm about how the U.S. military is forcing our troops to
submit to all manner of vaccinations — often against their
will — in the name of readiness for warfare. To recap, I told
you about how our brave servicemen and women endure
endless injections designed to "protect" them against bio-
toxins like smallpox, anthrax, ricin and others, plus a potent
dose of "pre-treatment" against chemical warfare agents.
If it doesn't kill them, that is. Several have died, and others
have been severely sickened by the practice — and these are
just the cases that made the news. As it turns out, some of
these chemicals haven't been tested on humans yet. That's
right: Our soldiers have become guinea pigs in massive drug
studies!
Those who refuse the shots face court martial and prison
time, or at the very least, a dishonorable booting from the
armed forces. Hundreds, in fact, have refused injections,
some having been discharged in punishment, according to a
recent Reuters health article. How is this possible? A legal
loophole exempts soldiers in times of war from the "informed
consent" laws that civilians like you and I are protected by.
But in a rare and encouraging decision handed down by our
judiciary, a federal judge has set aside a ruling by the Food
and Drug Administration that declared the anthrax vaccine
currently being pumped into our troops as "safe." Common
side effects of the over one million vaccinations so far
injected in our soldiers have included joint pain, extreme
fatigue, and memory loss.
What's this mean? It means that the government, at least for
now, can't force the vaccine onto non-consenting troops
without a special order from the President. The ruling came
in the wake of a lawsuit filed by several soldiers and civilians
challenging the Department of Defense's vaccination policy.
Not a clean win, true, but a step in the right direction.
What really troubles me about all of this is that the military
may not be forcing the vaccination of our troops simply for
their own safety. It might be a far more insidious reason
causing our brave soldiers to be "shot" by our own
government. Keep reading...

The business of prevention
As I've shown you time and again, drugs are big business —
among the most profitable enterprises on planet Earth. But
within the patent medicine world, there's a redheaded
stepchild that just doesn't usually make much money:
Vaccines.
Why? For one, many vaccines (like this year's much-
ballyhooed flu vaccine) have to go through costly
reformulation every single year to keep pace with the latest
strains of killer bugs. Secondly, vaccines have to be offered
for reasonable prices so that everyone can afford them — the
bad press a drug company would face for jacking up vaccine
prices would cost them far more than the extra profit they'd
make on the vaccines themselves.
So it's kind of a catch-22 for the drug makers. They have to
develop vaccines to stay competitive, but unless they corner
the market on a blockbuster vaccine for some new illness, it's
hard for them to make much money on this class of
medications. Unless they're selling millions of doses to the
U.S. Department of Defense.
Yes, wartime has become just the shot in the arm the vaccine
business needed. All of a sudden, several million preventive
doses are needed for a half-dozen or more different bio-
toxins. Think the drug makers aren't licking their chops at
that prospect? No wonder the FDA is rushing to declare even
virtually untested vaccines as "safe" — it means billions of
dollars in profits for the drug business. This, in turn, means
untold millions in tax revenue pouring into the government's
coffers.
True, the tax dollars these drugs cost far outweigh the tax
revenue generated, but since when has the government cared
about being fiscally responsible with your cash? All they care
about is being able to say, "Look, the economy's growing!
Just look at how the drug business is booming! We've
created thousands of jobs in drug plants! Vote for us!"
Plus, the drug companies reap the benefits of the biggest
publicly funded drug studies ever conducted — using our
troops as the guinea pigs! Look, I'm not claiming that these
are the only reasons our troops get vaccinated, but logic
dictates that they have to be a factor in the equation. That
scares me a little.

Your "vaccine" against bureaucratic bamboozlement,
