Other than the claim of your somewhat biased source (preventdisease.com), do you have any support for this statement? It seems to directly contradict what the OGTR says:
this will be done by aerial spraying in 4 states.
The trial will involve the inoculation of approximately 1000 children and adults.
PaxVax is seeking approval to conduct a clinical trial of a GM live bacterial vaccine against cholera. Once underway the trial is expected to be completed within one year, with trial sites selected from local government areas (LGAs) in Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia. The trial will involve the inoculation of approximately 1000 children and adults. The applicant has proposed a number of control measures to restrict the spread and persistence of the GM vaccine and its introduced genetic material.
The Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) has received a licence application from PaxVax Australia Pty Ltd (PaxVax) for the intentional release of a genetically modified (GM) bacterial vaccine into the environment (DIR 126), which qualifies as a limited and controlled release under section 50A of the Gene Technology Act 2000 (the Act).

PaxVax has indicated that a Clinical Trial Notification will be submitted to the Therapeutic Goods Administration, and that they will be applying to Department of Agriculture for a permit to import the vaccines.

that said, what's your stand on using kids as guinea pigs for a genetically modified (GM) bacterial vaccine
for a disease that hasn't been reported since '77 in oz?

Maybe you should check your links before making a thread!!!
preventdisease a site that needs advertising to survive I wonder why they would post something that would guarantee hits , they are just like naturalnews they take real stories but edit before posting to get hits and you fell for it.

“Cholera continues to infect areas around the world that suffer from poor sanitation, poverty, and poor access to safe drinking water, particularly parts of the world like Haiti and South Asia that are recovering from recent natural disasters,” said Mitch Cohen, M.D., Professor and Vice Chair of Pediatrics for Clinical Affairs at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. “For travelers visiting endemic areas of the world, where significant risk of contracting cholera exists, we are eager to start these clinical trials, which will determine if an oral, single dose of PXVX0200 provides protection against cholera after vaccination.”

Can you please show where it says that it is aerial spraying? I looked at the link and didn't see that listed just trial sites and inoculations of 1000 children and adults.
Notice that it says released into the environment. Now that does not mean aerial spraying, but it does not rule it out either.

Notice where it says approximately 1000. Also note that the "applicant" had to include measures to restrict the spread of the vaccine. I think the OP is on to something. Even if one bad source was used. Star and flag for you OP!

Perhaps you would like to read what section 50A of the Gene Technology Act 2000 says.

Do you know what clinical trials are? A random release of an oral vaccine by aerial spraying doesn't really constitute clinical trials.
The vaccine is "released" into the environment because the clinical subjects are part of the environment. Unless you expect the volunteers to volunteer to be indefinitely quarantined.

Excuse me for butting in here, but I think the 1,000 people would have to be volunteers as is the case in all clinical trials. There is a genuine fear that with global warming et al affecting the world's climates that diseases like cholera will come back with a vengeance.
Look at Typhoon Haiyan and the mega destruction it caused - I'll bet cholera outbreaks will be a real concern over there right now.
