#1 The problem with any vaccine is that there will always be someone that has a bad reaction from it. I have a hereditary allergy to quinine. It took me swelling up like a stomped-on toad to get the doctors to stop giving me quinine tablets and making me take them. At the same time, I have no problem with smallpox other than I never, ever get a reaction from a smallpox vaccination. There are 280 million people in the US, and each one has the chance of having a different reaction to drugs than I do. While most vaccines are effective and relatively harmless to some, there will always be a few that have a severe adverse reaction. Ya pays ya money and ya takes ya chances.

#3 I believe Veterinarians have been taking Anthrax shots since the early 70's without to much of a problem. I'm on my fourth series and haven't had any problems as of yet. Had a little problem with the stuff they fed me during Desert Storm, (Pyrobrostigmine Bromide, etc.) but nothing from O.I.F.

#5 "Iâd stand on a stack of Bibles and tell you itâs coincidental," Coffin told Sullivan.

Hmmm... He didn't say he'd swear on a stack of Bibles, did he?

#6 HGSI has developed a drug that targets the anthrax toxin (so it will theoretically be effective against all the various anthrax strains), was shown to provide 100% protection against inhalation anthrax challenge in primates. Likely to be approved (and stock piled) after short additional study in healthy human volunteers. There is a capacity constraint on how much can be manufactured near term, but given Cipro is also effective and anthrax not contagious, supplies should be adequate soon.
