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.
The Army said 100 soldiers have gotten pneumonia in Iraq and southwestern
Asia, two of those have died and another 13 have had to be put on respirators.
"The common denominator is smallpox and anthrax vaccinations," Moses Lacy
said in a telephone interview from his home in Lynwood, Ill. "These young
people have given their lives to the military and they are getting a raw deal.

I have been concerned about the forced vaccinations of our soldiers for some time -- they appear to be using armed forces personnel as experimental guinea pigs. These vaccinations may in fact be the underlying cause of the gulf war syndrome. What I can't figure out is why the pentagon is so insistent upon using these vaccinations when so many safety issues have been raised about them. You'd think they'd agree to a moratorium to allow proper scientific investigation into their safety. Soldiers have even been put in jail for refusing these drugs.

Bush sees them as so much cannon fodder, he won't support them in any way. This shouldn't surprise anyone who has watched what this criminal, unelected Administration has done.

... there was also a lot of denial and covering up done to the victims of gulf war syndrome, during the clinton adminstration.
