Anthrax Shots to Resume
The anthrax shots may be coming to an aid station near you again:
A government agency’s ruling that the controversial anthrax vaccine is safe should clear the way for resumption of mandatory shots for military personnel, government attorneys argue in a new court filing.
A Dec. 19 ruling by the Food and Drug Administration that the vaccine is “safe and effective†against all forms of anthrax should lead to either reversing a federal judge’s ruling halting the vaccinations, or tossing the case out as moot, Justice Department lawyers argue in a request to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
I wish they would make up their minds on this. I already had to restart the anthrax series of six shots once and I wonder if I will have to start over again. The first time I was stopped on shot #2. This last injunction I was stopped on shot #4. I am going to be pissed if I got to start from shot #1 again.
