The Obama administration ’s bioethics commission is moving forward with plans to test anthrax vaccine on children, with one proposal to start with 18-year-olds and move to 17-year-olds and then down in age groups.  If this plan is approved, how will the children to be tested be chosen?  And will anthrax vaccinations be made mandatory for all children once the test is completed?  This has the potential to do great harm to our children, and I urge you to study the issue and voice your opposition.  After all, what will follow anthrax as there are unlimited diseases which could be … Continue Reading
