The Curse of the Gulf War Babies
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

Anthrax is linked to the cause of several deaths, stillbirths, miscarriages, physical defects and sickness of the babies of soldiers who went to Iraq. Studies showed that in an army of 105 men and women who served in the Gulf last year, not one of the pregnancies has been trouble-free since the war.

Lance-Corporal Andy Saupe and his wife, Alex who lost their baby, who was just five-weeks old, were among the victims. Saupe was given an anthrax vaccination before he was called for the Gulf War Two.

Since the war was declared, at least seven young couples linked to 33 Field Hospital have experienced pregnancy complications often resulting with tragic consequences. Unlike the first Gulf War where women soldiers were warned not to conceive within 12 months of various vaccinations, members of the 33 Field Hospital didn’t receive any warnings about anthrax jabs.

A Gulf War group member said that the cocktail of vaccinations given to the troops was completely unsafe and expressed the need for a full public inquiry. However, instead of examining the erroneous vaccinations that has caused deaths and deformities, officials remain in a constant state of denial.

A spokeswoman claimed that congenital disabilities were an unfortunate, common occurrence and the anthrax vaccine, which has been used for several years, hasn’t had any reports of serious side effects.

Anthrax, a deadly spore-forming bacteria multiplies if it enters the body and can infect humans through inhalation or breaks in the skin. After the spores release a toxin into the bloodstream, the toxin starves tissues of oxygen and eventually results in respiratory and heart failure.

The controversial vaccine administered to the soldiers involved anthrax bacteria that initiated an immune response to the disease. Findings from research showed that children of Gulf War veterans have been more prone to birth deformities.

Deaths, stillbirths, miscarriages, physical defects and sicknesses are all being blamed on the anthrax immunizations that were given to the soldiers who served in Iraq. Britain experts now fear the thousands of British troops who received the vaccinations will face difficulties with having children.

This is one of the most senseless vaccines ever given to soldiers. If you haven’t already read Dr. Nas’ article describing how this vaccine was developed and released, please don’t do so unless you have already prepared yourself to be righteously angry.

I find it absolutely amazing that this vaccine was ever approved for our troops. The only way they were allowed to give this was because they were in the military and therefore lost all of their constitutional rights to be able to refuse it. Please remember, this vaccine was never released for the civilian population.
