Is it just me or is there remarkably little to say about about these anthrax jabs? As we all know, they are perfectly safe and absolutely voluntary. Aren't they? But the American Gulf War Veterans Association claims that over 30% of injectees (excuse while I coin a word!) have suffered serious side effects, including fits, blackouts and skin lesions. Nice. And yes, I am aware that the Yanks are receiving a different vaccine but where are the statistics, the conclusive facts that our version is any safer? Should we accept the minister's claim that ours is perfectly safe?
Moreover, I have heard said that some stations are making it compulsory by applying pressure to individuals, suggesting that non-compliance could be bad for careers etc. Are there any similar reports out there?
Come on, this is a serious issue. Lets hear your points of view and any pertinant stories.
