British Study of Gulf War Syndrome Criticized
Sorry link down.

The British Ministry of Defense is being criticized for a study showing Gulf War veterans didn't suffer adverse effects from vaccines they received.

The Royal British Legion says the research funded by the government effectively tells veterans nothing of value, London Telegraph reports.

The 9-year research program looked into the practice of giving the troops whooping cough vaccine to speed up the effects of anthrax vaccine.

Two years ago doubts about the move emerged when the Ministry of Defense revealed that tests on mice given the vaccine combination produced serious side effects such as weight loss.

The latest tests were carried out on marmosets using safe combinations and dosages in laboratory conditions.

It seems to this vet who deals with troops back from both wars in Iraq there is a cover up. Both American and British DOD do not want to admit to any wrong doing. But yet Veterans keep dying.
