An ex-POA'er huh?

You've got to be kidding.

(1) Oh, wait, this is the same TSA that used a pitot tube as a step to prove that they can get into a jetliner through the pilots window.

(2) Did you see them cut into your shoe?  I would have called the police right there.

For most cut corner bio weapons- they don't work well.

The Anthrax letters samples were traced back to US Army Labs Ft Detrick, Maryland. That was the only real evidence tying Dr Bruce Ivins to the crime. It was high grade stuff made at extreme costs.

The postal workers that handled the mail and were infected were treated post exposure with Penicillin; I don't even think it was a souped up version, though I could be mistaken.

The point is: the DoD wanted to use Bioports vaccine as a prophylactic for weaponized Anthrax, a use for which there was no science to support and here stateside Americans were successfully treated with essentially an OTC medication, with IIRC only 1 death. As I understand that patient already had compromised medical history.

Bioports history is sketchy at best, and the cause of their impending insolvency was a full rap sheet of huge fines levied against them for QC violations at their manufacturing plant.

While I was ramping down my active duty days in 2003 the DoD was ramping up a Smallpox vaccination program.  Why would they do that if it had been eliminated?

The sucking dry of medical care for seniors by O-care.  That is a quote from my Mom's doctor yesterday.

Just think what they will be able to do under single payer......

Pregnant mothers will be required to have the baby tested and if any irregularity is detected they will be forced to abort thus avoiding costly medical care down the road.

As you age they can set a cutoff amount so you don't cost the people too much money.  They'll just have you euthanized.

It will be nirvana!!
