I hate to be the one to piss in everyone's post toasties but anthrax vaccines are not even effective or recommended or made for AIRBORNE anthrax. They are effective, recommended and made for CUTANEOUS anthrax.

So if there is an airborn anthrax attack (not likely since it settles to the ground rather quickly, is difficult to make, etc.) having a vaccine that's probably been sitting on the warehouse shelves for 40 years isn't going to do anyone any good.

Unless you've been in contact with infected sheep the anthrax vaccine is worthless and can definitely cause damage. My husband was in the Navy and became permanently disabled shortly after his 4th shot.

Dr. Meryl is a very nice lady and interested in helping veterans get to the bottom of their service-aquired illnesses. She has a web site (I think it's already been posted).

The smallpox vaccine you received as a child is most likely not conferring any immunity to you after all these years. If you're in your 20's (30's?) you probably never even got it.

I have essential oils, a mini-mate personal ionizer that I wear around my neck, a gas mask in car and at home, plenty of colloidal silver and a colloidal silver generator to make more when that runs out. There's more but I consider those to be essential. Only 3 days left to stock up.

Back about one page Cairowoman had a link in her signature to one of her threads regarding Codex Alimentarius. I just checked it so I could link it here directly but it looks like she's moved it.

Feeling kind of lazy right now but if you check on "members" and see what her posts are recently you'll find out about Codex Alimentarius. Our access to health supplements are about to be removed.

See why I wanted to answer privately?

As a government worker, I can tell you that most likely the story is:

that it had taken them this long since the anthrax scare to get a response agenda together. I am not kidding.
Government has never had a reputatation for being swift(except the IRS)

As a result of the SARS, anthrax, and whatever scares, we are supposed to have an emergency plan into place. I am on the call roster. I have no idea what I would be doing if called. where to go, nothing. All I know is that they have my phone number. I have even been surveyed if I know what to do. That was last year.

Don't you feel safe?

They probably had to get an ok from a team of lawyers. Get an ok from the Captain. There was a change in Captains and the new one wasn't signing anything till they got the letterhead he liked. Six months later he signed it. It had to go to a printer where they got minimum bid so the printer threw it in the back for another 2 years before printing it out. The team of lawyers had to look at it again. Then the interoffice delivery person lost them so they had to be printed all over again.
