Excellent article. Too long to share. Pop it open. I'll drop the "set up" for the rest of the article.
I know
@DBS1970 was a big fan of the Anthrax vaccines.
The Forgotten Lessons of The Military's Forced Anthrax Vaccination of its Pilots
I cannot prove this, but from looking at everything I’ve pieced together, I believe the collective psychology within the military is something like the following:
•Most government officials do not have a good understanding of scientific topics.
•Because of this, officials will typically defer to the advice of scientific experts, especially regarding things that are very psychologically frightening (e.g., a “bioweapon”) or doing something that is in accordance with our longstanding cultural beliefs (e.g., vaccinations are the magical salvation science enlightened the world with).
•I also believe government officials like to defer the responsibility to “experts” because it removes their responsibility for making a bad decision.
On this point, one I believe Ron DeSantis must be acknowledged for that fact, that unlike everyone else who deferred to “the experts” during COVID-19, he did the opposite, looked at the data himself, came up with the policy that made the most sense, and then only solicited the help of an expert to make sure he had not made any mistakes. DeSantis took a lot of heat for how he managed COVID-19, but his response in Florida ultimately provided some of the best results seen in America (note: Governor Kristi Noem also broke from the herd with managing COVID-19) .
•Within the military, a group exists that is ideologically committed to developing countermeasures for dangerous bioweapons (e.g., look up the history of
Fort Dietrich). I believe this is primarily because they are financially dependent upon these programs being well-funded for decades (which is easy to accomplish if a climate of fear exists around the bioweapon in question—the CDC uses a similar playbook). However, this commitment may also be due to lobbying from the private sector (which makes a lot of money off producing these countermeasures), or some people being ideologically fixated on continuing the programs.
•This group of “experts” has been able to convince the military’s leadership of the absolute necessity of their bioweapon countermeasures programs. Because of this lobbying, the military leadership has been willing to exert the full force of the military to push vaccinations through. This is important because many of the vaccines designed through this pipeline are unsafe, poorly (
sometimes fraudulently) manufactured, and ineffective, to the point that even our relatively corrupt regulatory apparatus would not be willing to green-light them for civilian use.
EDIT: Here is another. I never knew about the connection to the Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) and anthrax vaccinations. No other nation involved in the war saw their soldiers return and experience this phenomenon. They didn't anthrax vax either. And...soldiers at home who got the anthrax vax and never deployed to the Gulf also developed GWS symptoms....
