A few years back I remember seeing a news report asking whether adverse reactions to Anthrax vaccination during the Gulf War was responsible for Persian Gulf War Syndrome. How come no one is talking about this now?
If congress or the media start clambering for Anthrax Vaccinations, will anyone remember the adverse side effects suspected by many soldiers and scientists? Yes the FDA approved the Anthrax Vaccine, but there are still many questions about it's safety. The military is not unaware of the ongoing debate, but The FDA does not have an unblemished record.
This is all getting very X-Files... (scroll down to 1991)
And give me a break, when I was getting shot in the shoulder with an Antrax vaccine two years ago in the Persian Gulf (where by the way, America has been engaged in a war for the past 10 years) you didn't say or think a damn thing about it.

To date, the scientific and medical research continues to disprove any link between Depleted Uranium and the reported negative health effects.
But then again....

Research into gulf war syndrome has not been encouraged by governments or military organisations. Makes you wonder...

Really, I don't think it's al-Qaeda; this smells more like the Unabomber to me. Just something to think about.
