A 22-year-old soldier died of a mysterious illness after receiving several mandatory vaccinations, including anthrax and smallpox.

According to the girl’s father, doctors thought she had a cold or a minor reaction to inoculations, but then her condition worsened and she didn’t respond to treatment for pneumonia.

Two days before her death, she could not breathe unaided and had an extremely high fever, weakness, headaches and nausea.

Although an Army spokesperson said there was no indication that vaccines were involved in the girl’s death, her father was told that she might have had the immune disorder lupus, which could have been caused by the smallpox vaccination. The true cause of death will not be known until an autopsy is performed.
