Guest guest Posted July 20, 1999 Report Share Posted July 20, 1999 Yes, call every news paper, TV station, everyone you can. Call you Congressman and tell him that you husband would love to call you but he can't because he was ordered not too. Remember, they can't order you to do anything! By the way, that order is illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 1999 Report Share Posted July 20, 1999 This is true. Contact with your congressional representative is always authorized. Ensure that your congressional representative is aware that he was told this. M. Suzanne, Jr. MM2(SW) USN suzannesm@... On Wednesday, July 21, 1999 12:33 AM, BAMAFANB4u@...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 1999 Report Share Posted July 20, 1999 Dear Mrs. Proffitt, I would strongly advise you to contact the media. It would be best that your husband NOT be the one to contact the media. When Rob was in a similiar situation, I had to be the one to contact, notify, and work with the media...it worked,too. Within 20 days from his first refusal he was discharged. If you would like me to assist you in contacting the media, please feel free to email me or call me. I completely understand what you must be feeling. Please consider me a friend.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 1999 Report Share Posted July 28, 1999 Christi: Hang in there!!! You're husband has a college degree. The civilians are happy to take that,... and you don't even have to take a questionable vaccine for the sake of low pay!! You guys go... and get on with your lives. You will survive, and regarldess, your lives will be healthy. Not to mention, with the press this stupid vaccine is getting, civilians in my opinion, will not give one flying iota about a " dishonorable " discharge for refusing to put poison in ones body. A smart decision was made, now go live life. Randi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 1999 Report Share Posted July 29, 1999 We did contact the media when he received his article 15. We have not spoken to anyone since. Due to him not receiving any pay, we don't have a telephone. Please feel free to contact me through e-mail. Thank you for all your support.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 Is anyone in touch with the canadians mentioned here....and can we get any updates??? In a message dated 8/13/99 12:50:11 AM Mountain Daylight Time, DSNurse@... writes: << Bad US Anthrax Vaccine Given To Canadian Troops Stirs Firestorm 2-5-99 TORONTO (CP) -- Defence Minister Art Eggleton's claims that an anthrax vaccine was tested before being given to Canadian troops were denied by an American firm which said it only reviewed data produced by the drug manufacturer, CTV News reported Wednesday. Earlier in the day in the Commons, Eggleton, who was under attack by the opposition, said the vaccine was " fully tested " by " our medical people. " But outside the Commons, he changed his story, CTV said. " It was a company in the United States but it was not the same company that did the manufacturing, " Eggleton said. But officials with the American firm, Mitretek, told CTV they didn't test the vaccine, they only reviewed testing done by the company that made it, Michigan Biological Products Institute. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspected the Michigan plant and found the company had relabelled drugs that expired in 1993 with 1998 dates. Earlier this week, CTV obtained vaccination documents that showed Canadian troops had been given the relabelled drugs. The FDA inspection also said vaccines more than three years old may not be stable or potent. The inspection done just before troops headed to the Gulf in 1998 also found problems with cleaning equipment, mould was found in some samples and some vials were thrown out because they weren't properly sealed. CTV has also reported that a Canadian Forces memo said the military didn't complete the vaccinations for the troops because there wasn't enough drugs available and states there was a small risk of side effects. Sgt. Mike Kipling, a 27-year Forces veteran, is at the centre of the controversy after refusing the vaccination order that was given to all Canadian troops in the Gulf. The Winnipeg-based air force flight engineer was worried the vaccine may be linked to the Gulf War syndrome and is now facing a court martial. The syndrome is a term used to describe the thousands of Gulf War veterans from the United States, Britain and Canada who came down with unexplainable illnesses after returning from the region. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this would be a good opportunity for people like you and me to let their Congressmen know about certain issues, including the anthrax vaccine and the effect of it on the military's readiness.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 1999 Report Share Posted August 23, 1999 We here in OKC will be visiting with two Congressmen over the next week. Please do as DSNurse has ask, call and get an appointment and if they are having a town meeting, go. This will give you more of an audience to present the facts.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 1999 Report Share Posted August 31, 1999 Well, aren't Dr. and Gen. just full of themselves ... so concerned about the health of the troops and all, but still filling them with poison made in their own country by their own government. It truly makes me sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 1999 Report Share Posted September 3, 1999 As a rule, military doctors are exempt from malpractice and anything else. A military member can't sue the government. The thing some are missing is that a military family member can sue the government or it's agents for damages .... i.e. if a spouse is injured by one of DoD's doctors and can't support the family, the other family members can sue. The problem is that DoD is very difficult to sue because witnesses are regularly told what to say and what not to say and their careers die if they don't keep the " company line. " Also, if the DoD needs to make someone go away, they just cut the orders and you move ... to a different state or maybe different country. Also, if there is documented proof, they just stamp it classified and bury it as has been shown with the documents proving chemical agent use by Iraq. If that doesn't do it, they just destroy the documents and say they don't know what happened. The most recent example of this is the Waco evidence. Yes, it is legal to sue the DoD but you (as a rule) won't win because they will attack you till you go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 1999 Report Share Posted September 3, 1999 I don't want to sue the DOD. That is not my intent. As in for going away.... that won't happen either. << Yes, it is legal to sue the DoD but you (as a rule) won't win because they will attack you till you go away. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
