DoJ Presser, re: Ivins ...... "Dr. Ivins vaccinated himself"

[Stinky The Clown]

The suits just stated on live teevee "Dr. Ivins vaccinated himself".

No explanation of how they know that. Just the statement.

How would they know? Post mortem? :shrug:

on edit:

It makes sense that working with anthrax would have him vaccinated by the lab he worked for. The statement was (direct quote) "Dr. Ivins vaccinated himself."

1. yep, way they said it was goofy - as though he was different than other employees

so either he was using one of his test vaccines on himself, or they're just playing on science illiteracy.

2. I actually found that the most scary thing I heard

I interpret it as "Here, this is the deal, we just want this over so we're making shit up to feed to the masses."

3. This is where it stinks that most citizens and most reporters don't know much science. nt

4. Seems logical that someone working with anthrax would be vaccinated.

5. Gee, ya think??

6. I said that in the OP ..... my point is not that he would have been vaccinated .....

..... but rather that the said as if they knew for a certainty that **he** vaccinated **himself**.
