Guest guest Posted June 15, 1999 Report Share Posted June 15, 1999 Wanda, I was corresponding with a young woman on the USS Kitty Hawk as they were on their way to Guam and rerouted to the Persian Gulf. After they left Guam, they were administered the anthrax vaccine. She said there were several refusers onboard and they were being made to wear gas masks, even with their dress uniforms. It was shortly after that that they must have gotten between a couple of those satellites because I have not heard from her since and we had been corresponding for several weeks before. She did send me a nice postcard from Guam thanking me for the VAERS forms I sent her. Also, my son went to Korea on a ship from Okinawa before his unit was given the anthrax shots.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Somebody should be asking what is really going on in the Persian Gulf with Anthrax.... Start with KKMC (1991) and work forward..... They are not telling us everything. do you have the May 25, 1994 Riegle report, if not please get it.... And once again get Tom Clancey's new book,,,,,, MIKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 , You said your husband did a one year tour in Korea without the anthrax shots. Do you mind me asking his rank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 My husband, an E-4 in the Navy, was in the Persian Gulf region aboard the USS Essex when he refused the Anthrax vaccine. He was not allowed to leave the ship as the Navy calmed it was a " risk " for him to do so without the shot. They refused to fly him home for the same reason. This was in the fall of 1998. They may have adopted an " official " policy by now, I do not know. He was discharged " General Under Honorable Conditions in Feb 99. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 1999 Report Share Posted June 18, 1999 , He is E-5. He was there from June 1997-June 1998. I can't beleive all this stuff I am reading on this email lists. My husband said he hasn't heard of when they will be coming to vaccinate them here on Ft. Sill. He was in the gulf war on a Navy ship. He is now in the army. I do see something different in him the last few years. His memory. Do you think this could be related to GWS? I mean the little things he forgets. Maybe I'm just looking to blame something because he drives me crazy. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
