FDA OKs Anthrax Vaccine Shipments

01/31/2002 3:41 PM EST

By LAURAN NEERGAARD

The government cleared the nation's sole maker of the anthrax vaccine to

begin shipping the shots Thursday after four years of factory violations

that

have stalled efforts to protect the military from the bioterrorism

bacteria.

Pressure to approve BioPort Corp.'s factory has grown since last fall's

anthrax outbreak killed five people on the East Coast.

Thursday, the Food and Drug Administration said BioPort's factory had met

all federal requirements to resume production and shipments of anthrax

vaccine to the Defense Department, which owns all of the shots the

Lansing, Mich., company makes.

Also, three batches of previously produced vaccine have passed quality

checks and can be shipped immediately, the FDA said.

" Yes, there was an important public health need to move forward on

this, " said FDA vaccine chief Dr. Zoon. But, " I can assure you the

agency did no shortcuts. "

The anthrax vaccine itself has been approved by the FDA since the 1970s,

and used regularly to protect veterinarians and scientists working with

anthrax.

The Pentagon has pledged to inoculate millions of troops against an

anthrax attack, and already has vaccinated 500,000. Soldiers are supposed

to get six shots over 18 months, plus an annual booster dose.

But that program has been on hold since 1998, when BioPort bought the

vaccine-producing lab from the state - but found it couldn't ship a single

dose.

The problem: BioPort's renovated laboratory repeatedly failed to pass FDA

inspections, which found contamination, inadequate record-keeping and

unapproved procedures. Several vaccine batches failed sterility tests.

Ultimately, BioPort even had to hire another factory, Hollister-Stier

Laboratories in Spokane, Wash., to fill the vaccine vials when its own

procedures kept failing.

FDA said Thursday that BioPort's own lab and Hollister-Stier had fulfilled

all

remaining federal requirements to routinely produce the vaccine, and that

three previously produced batches could be shipped immediately.

Now BioPort will be treated like all other vaccine manufacturers, with each

batch undergoing specific testing for purity, potency and sterility and FDA

certification required before each batch can be shipped.

The anthrax vaccine has been controversial over the years. Hundreds of

soldiers have refused to take the shots, worried they could be connected to

complaints of chronic fatigue, memory loss and other problems.

Having enough on hand caused a stir with the fall anthrax attacks-by-mail,

too. The Pentagon shared some of its remaining doses with federal health

officials, who offered to give the vaccine to people exposed to anthrax as

part of an experiment to see if it might provide additional protection on

top

of antibiotic treatment. Only about 130 people accepted that offer.

The government says the vaccine overall is very safe, with rare severe side

effects such as dangerous allergic reactions.

But in clearing BioPort's production, the FDA did change the vaccine's

labeling to upgrade one warning and make some side-effect information

more clear.

First, the vaccine now states that there are some unconfirmed reports of

birth defects among women vaccinated while pregnant, so pregnant women

must weigh the need for vaccination against that possible risk, Zoon

explained.

Second, the label spells out that local side effects are quite common,

including pain, swelling, redness and nodules at the site of the injection,

she said. Systemic side effects, such as joint pain or fever, are

relatively

low. The label also states that other rare problems, such as neurologic

conditions, have been reported among vaccine users but there's no

evidence that the shots caused the problem.

December 21, 2001

An editorial by J.

Dear Newswatch Magazine Listeners/Readers:

Silently, the movement to over-throw the United States marches foreward.

Over $300 trillion has been amassed by the petrochemical, pharmaceutical and

banking cartels along with their affiliates.

According to former Mayor Hylan [96th Mayor of NYC, 1918-1925] of New

York, the problems in America was the Rockefeller-Standard Oil and

associated companies that are usurping the government of the United States.

During World War II, the Standard Oil cartel was cited as an " Enemy

National " - traitor. They were so powerful [money] that the government could

not prosecute them and win. Prescott Bush, grandfather of current President

W. Bush, had his assets frozen because of trading with the enemy -

Nazi Germany. Powerful forces also protected him and loosed his assets.

Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks upon America, anthrax and

smallpox used as potential biologicals against us has been advertised

widely. Envelops with anthrax have been sent out to some highly visible

people in the media and congress. The Dallas Morning News reported on Sunday

December 16, 2001 that the anthrax spores were identical to those

manufactured by the U.S. military. On December 2 and 3, 2001, the New York

Times focused upon U.S. military biological weapons contractors as the

source of the anthrax-mailings. Biological/Chemical weapons of mass

destruction were outlawed by treaty long ago. No nation that has started

their manufacture has ceased doing so in spite of the treaty - including the

U.S. WHY?

April 24, 1997, started a series of anthrax scares by mail. According to the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seven major anthrax threats were

recorded by February 1999. When in America's history has its own military

publicized our nation's greatest vulnerabilities to attack? A book published

in the Spring of 2001 entitled Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and

Toxic Warfare said the USE of psychological operations was predicted to

facilitate severe curtailments of American civil liberties.

One of the first to suspect U.S. military-industrial espionage involving

anthrax was Leonard A. Cole, a political scientist at Rutgers University in

Newark, New Jersey. Professor Cole editorialized that such threats of

bioterrorism, " reportedly brandished by an assortment of 'rogue states,'

helped the Pentagon JUSTIFY its still sizable post-Cold War military

budget. " At the time of his editorial, the bioterrorism budget had reached

$1.4 billion.

Studies have been made that reflects " the tendency of U.S. government

officials to exaggerate the threat of chemical and biological terrorism. "

These studies show these exaggerations are " reinforced by sensational

reporting in the press and an obsessive fascination with catastrophic

terrorism in Hollywood films, best-selling books, and other mainstays of pop

culture. "

These scholarly assessments foreshadowed today's news headlines concerning

the origin of the mailed anthrax - reports that seriously implicate military

defense contractors, if not government officials themselves. Certainly the

words on the back of every one-dollar bill - Novus Ordo Seclorium - best

explains the hopeful results of bioterrorism. A " New World Order is

certainly evolving FROM militarily managed chaos.

On March 16, 1999, C. Myers, DVM, Chief Operating Officer of

BioPort - America's only anthrax vaccine maker - appealed to a Senate

Appropriations Committee for urgent funding for BOTH anthrax and smallpox

vaccines. In 1996, Myers own words stated that there was a team of

organizations, led by Battelle Memorial Institute, which came together to

compete for the Department of Defense's Joint Vaccine Acquisition Program.

Dr. Myers stated these two threats were the greatest since anthrax is easy

to handle and smallpox is highly contagious. He wanted a smallpox vaccine

stockpile and manufacturing capibility. There are three other companies

linked to smallpox vaccine production.

In October 1998, Bioport Corp. landed an exclusive $29 million contract with

the Department of Defense to " manufacture, test, bottle and store the

anthrax vaccine. " Admiral J. Crowe, Jr., a former Chairman of the

Joint Chiefs of Staff and close personal friend of President Bill Clinton,

received 22.5% of BioPort's stock to promote, secure, and manage military

anthrax vaccine contracts - even though he invested NO money.

BioPort's principal investor was Saudi business man Fuad El-Hibri - a close

friend of the bin Laden family, and a previous merger and acquisitions

manager for the Rockefeller-linked Citigroup in New York.

BioPort shares were also held by the Carlyle Management Group - America's

11th leading defense contractor largely directed by past CIA director

Carlucci, Baker III, and former President H. W. Bush, according

to several investigators.

According to the Associated Press, past President H. W. Bush acts as

a business agent for the Carlyle Group and wealthy Saudi families -

including the bin Ladens.

Between 1998 and 2000, Bioport - in spite of illegalities - secured ongoing

defense contracts for anthrax vaccine. In July 2000 another anthrax

antibiotic maker - Germany's Bayer AG won an unprecedented sole endorsement

by the FDA of the antibiotic Cipro for anthrax, despite the drug's high risk

and largely untested status.

Where are we headed with all this? Tighten your seat belts and hold on!

During the 1980s, Bayer AG and Baxter Healthcare both marketed blood

clotting factor VIII. Both firms were found guilty of knowingly transmitting

the AIDS virus [HIV] to more than 7,000 American hemophiliacs. Both firms

settled out of court.

Bayer AG World War II company President was Hermann Schmitz. In his military

background, he directed Germany's leading industrial organization - I. G.

Farben. He was found guilty at Nuremberg trials for running Nazi

concentration labor camps. He only served four years in prison. According to

CBS News war correspondent Manning, Schmitz held more shares of

Rockefeller Standard Oil Co. stock than the Rockefellers. Farben's principle

partner, the Rockefellers, profitted greatly from World War II. A Federal

Court cited the Standard Oil Co. as America's " Enemy National, " that is, a

" traitor. " Bayer AG was blacklisted at that time by the U.S. Federal

Government.

During the late 1940s, I.G. Farben was " decartelized " by the Allied High

Commission led by America's J. McCloy - a Philadelphia banker and

lawyer with intimate ties to Rockefeller oil and banking interests and

member of the subversive Council on Foreign Relations. I.G. Farben

stockholders received equal shares of Bayer AG, Hoechst, and BASF stock.

American Home Products was formed in 1926 but evolved largely from I.G.

Farben/Rockefeller financial interests according to cancer investigator and

author G. . During World War II, Ayerst Laboratories joined

American Home Products and Wyeth International Limited was formed. This

company went on to " perfect " the smallpox vaccine according to company

promotions.

The Genetics Institute, an offshoot of the Rockefeller initiated and

dominated genetics industry, is a biotech research unit of Wyeth. The

Institute contributes to Baxter's product line of genetically engineered

products - including the smallpox vaccine.

Aventis Pharma, with headquarters in furt, Germany, home of I.G. Farben

and the post-war CIA, was formed by Hoechst AG and Rhone-Poulenc S.A. during

their merger in 1999. American headquarters of the company is not far from

Trenton, NJ in Bridgewater, where most of the anthrax was mailed. Three of

four anthrax defense contractors are headquartered within 45 minutes of

these mailings - HMMMM!!! Were they trying to scare the government into

pumping more money into their pockets by manufacturing more anthrax and

smallpox vaccines?

The politically powerful Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers

Association [PhRMA] is directed by Aventis's CEO Markham. Mr.

Markham is also Chairman of the Task Force on Emergency Preparedness that

meets regularly with Bush administration officials. The Bayer and Merck

companies are also heavily represented in PhRMA, and its bioterrorism task

force. Merck was the primary recipient of the Nazi " flight capital " [money

leaving the country] on August 10, 1944 at the time the company's Pesident,

W. Merck, was America's biological weapons industry director.

According to CBS war correspondent Manning, who credited CIA director

Dulles for his intelligence and guidance in his book Bormann:

Nazi in Exile, the " flight capital scheme " ASSURED THE RISE OF THE FOURTH

REICH, alternatively called the " Neuordnung " - New Order, for the GLOBAL

PETROCHEMICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL AND BANKING CARTELS, according to I.G. Farben

documents discussed by Manning and others.

There we have it! The Rockefeller-Bush connections to the German Nazi

movement in which they were labeled " Enemy Nationals " during World War II

and are now leading the world right into the NEW WORLD ORDER for the rich

oil, drug and banking industry.

PhRMA officials have met regularly and illegally with Bush administration

officials under the auspices of " emergency preparedness " according to The

Public Citizen in November 2001. Multi-million dollar drug and vaccine

contracts have emerged from these mostly secret meetings that violate the

Federal Advisory Committee Act which is to protect consumers against

closed-door dealings between government and special interests.

The BBC and London's leading Sunday newspaper, The Guardian, reported

November 7, 2001 that the Bush administration through the CIA, hog-tied the

FBI in their investigations linking Bush family and bin Laden family

investments, including commonly held stock in the Carlyle Management group.

Who is using who in the War on Terrorism? Does Bush want to find bin Laden?

The final world government - NEW WORLD ORDER - will come out of the Fourth

Beast [Roman Empire] - 7:23-24.

Sincerely, J.
