Appalling.
From the Washington Post:
A key panel of government advisers Friday recommended that the federal government sponsor a controversial study to test the anthrax vaccine in children to see whether the inoculation would protect young Americans against a bioterrorist attack…
“The trial would expose healthy children to substantial harm with no possibility of benefit,” said Vera Sharav of the Alliance for Human Research Protection, a New York-based advocacy group.
Now that bioterrorism industry is back, click below for Steve Milloy’s six FoxNews.com columns on bioterrorism from September-November 2001:
- Flu Shot Frenzy Not Anthrax Answer, November 2, 2001
- Health Officials Not to Blame in Anthrax Deaths, October 26, 2001
- Misinformation Is Real Anthrax Danger, October 19, 2001
- Concerns Vs. Chaos in the Anthrax Scare, October 12, 2001
- Smallpox Attack Exaggerated, October 5, 2001
- Bio-Terror Fear More Costly Than Attacks, September 28, 2001
The key word in the article is “test”, and the absolute horror of the panel’s indifference is only exceeded by people such as Adolph Hitler and the ‘testing’ he had performed at the death camps during WW2.
Perhaps someone should “test” this panel by lobotomising them and then trying to determine if anyone can tell the difference.
