Military vaccine cover-up claimed

Father of dead soldier claims Army coverup

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- The father of a soldier who died of pneumonia this spring said Thursday the Army has excluded her death from its investigation of deadly pneumonia because it wants to cover up vaccine side effects.

"The government is covering this up and it is a dog-gone shame," said Moses Lacy, whose daughter, Army Spc. Rachael Lacy, died April 4 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., after getting pneumonia.

Lacy said his daughter "was a healthy young woman" but got ill within days of getting anthrax and smallpox vaccinations on March 2 in preparation for deployment to the Persian Gulf. She was too ill to ever be deployed

-snip-

The Army said it is excluding Lacy's death from its investigation because Lacy never made it to Iraq or southwestern Asia where it says the cases are clustered. "She was never deployed to Iraq," Army Surgeon General spokeswoman Virginia Stephanakis told UPI Thursday. She said the military is participating in an investigation of Lacy's death separate from the pneumonia investigation. "It is a whole different issue."

Moses Lacy disagreed.

this article has much more information and testimonies. could the medical people now studying pneumonia in Iraq have first studied the pneumonia here? Is it being swept under the rug?

1. This is very interesting
After reading the article, It seems logical to assume the vaccine caused the deaths of our soldiers. It makes me think back to the 1st Gulf War.....I know there was alot of investigations into it, but does anyone know that in the 1st Gulf War if THOSE soldiers were also vaccinated with something?

Another question comes to mind, what company supplies the vaccines to the military?

2. Yes, anthrax
Here's a link with a bunch of links about Gulf War Vets and anthrax vaccines, pro and con. The antrax vaccine can attack the immune system, which could make some people more susceptible to other diseases. And it seems in GW1 some vaccines were contaminated or something. Looks like there's alot of work still to be done on this vaccine. Maybe that's why they wouldn't give them to postal workers and congressional staffers. But our soldiers, what the heck, we just don't treat them as well as civilians.

3. Yes, the vaccines are prime suspect for Gulf War #1 Syndrome
And I don't off-hand remember the company(ies), but it seems to me there is, once again, a BFEE connection.

4. Ah! Where's my links???
I have a link of a report---mind you, it's some tin-foily-hat stuff, but it's really compelling reading.

Supposedly before Gulf War I, SOME french troops were given vaccines that American Soldiers were given, but not ALL french troops.

The french that got the vaccines had high rates of Gulf War Syndrome, while there were NO cases among those that didn't get the vaccine.

ALL american troops got the vaccine, and we know the story with Gulf War Syndrome---

I just thought that was odd....that they kind of already have a control group since some french soldiers got the vacc, and got the disease, while other french soldiers didn't get the vac, and none of them got the disease

6. Yes Bioport exclusively, I think
http://www.americanfreepress.net/Alternative_Health/U_S__Anthrax_Vaccine_Maker_Cal/u_s__anthrax_vaccine_maker_cal.html

Only U.S. Anthrax Vaccine Maker Called Negligent
Why is the United States, home to some of the largest drug companies in the world, endangering the health of its military personnel with an anthrax vaccine produced by a foreign and privately-owned company that has repeatedly failed to make the grade?

Exclusive to American Free Press

By Christopher Bollyn

Every one of the 2.5 million Americans serving in the armed forces is required to receive a six-shot anthrax vaccination made by a small foreign-owned company, which has been plagued with troubles for years and repeatedly failed to pass government inspection.

Where, oh where to begin!

Well, let's begin with Adm. William J. Crowe Jr. It seems that back when Goerge H. W. Bush was setting up Osama Bin Laden as a Freedom fighter (A "freedom fighter" is the same thing as a terrorist, only aimed at someone you don't like) , the good Admiral (seen right) and his buddies on the Joint Chiefs were selling American made weapons-grade Anthrax to Saddam Hussein in the hopes that he would use it on Iran (and then we wonder why the Iranian people don't much like Americans). Who knows who else got these American-made weapons of mass destruction either from Admiral Crowe or Saddam.

But that was then and this is now. Admiral Crowe is retired. Admiral Crowe is quite wealthy, far beyond what one might expect on even an Admiral's salary. In fact, Admiral Crowe sits on the Board of Directors and owns 13% of BioPort Corporation.
