Dr. Sullivan has never before spoken publicly about anthrax vaccine.  I suspect this letter was written for him to sign, by current HHS staff, so that a prominent black physician could weigh in on the issue...possibly because of the response of postal workers, when offered the vaccine.

Now that the vaccine has been licensed, after a four year hiatus, we may see more prominent people being pulled in to promote its use.  Hollywood stars or famous athletes next?

However, if you simply read the new package insert for the vaccine (the label) you will see warnings about birth defects, autoimmune illnesses, etc. that should make anyone stop and think before voluntarily being vaccinated.  And don’t forget, there is no proof the vaccine is effective, anyway.

Here’s the new label:

A Safe Anthrax Vaccine

    

Health Spending: Buckets for Bioterrorism, but Less for Catalog of Ills (February 5, 2002)

      

    

    

To the Editor:

Re “Buckets for Bioterrorism, but Less for Catalog of Ills” (news article, Feb. 5):

The Food and Drug Administration’s approval to resume production of the anthrax vaccine is welcome news for our fight against bioterrorism. For more than 30 years, the anthrax vaccine has been a safe and effective way to protect people from this deadly disease. Health officials did the right thing in providing vaccine to Congressional and postal workers. Anthrax spores can remain in the lungs for extended periods.

Federal officials should expand production and supply of anthrax vaccine to meet both defense and public health needs. We should not be complacent about future dangers. We should continue offering the vaccine to laboratory and decontamination workers exposed to anthrax. We should also offer the vaccine to others at risk, like postal workers and emergency first-responders.
