We live in an interesting world where most anything goes and the impossible happens whether it is good or bad. The latest is a proposal to give the anthrax vaccine to healthy children! From what I have read, anthrax is not infectious and it can't be passed from person to person like the usual measles, mumps, etc. Why would the 'powers that be' want to give children a vaccine that will ultimately have no benefit for them? Why would they want to endanger the percentage of children who could develope complications that might change the rest of their life forever? Although all this has been ackowledged and documented, there seems to be still a push to try and go ahead with this. Naturally, it would take a lot more governmental hoops for them to jump through before they give the first injection but . . .
One article said that military folk, first responders, etc. would probably enroll their childre in the program. What happens, however, if the scientists do not get their 'quota' of human guinea pigs? You have to wonder how many will go along with this and why. You should worry about how they will see that they make their quota. We will all have to pray that our freedom of choice remains a rule of our land.
