-Caveat Lector- MYSTERY BLOOD CLOTS KILL TROOPS http://www.military.com
UPI - Unexplained blood clots are among the reasons a number of U.S. soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom have died from sudden illnesses, an investigation by United Press International has found. In addition to NBC News Correspondent David Bloom, who died in April of a blood clot in his lung after collapsing south of Baghdad, the Pentagon has told families that blood clots caused two soldiers to collapse and die. At least eight other soldiers have also collapsed and died from what the military has described as non-combat-related causes. . . . A disturbing parallel has also surfaced: soldiers becoming ill or dying from similar ailments in the United States. In some cases, the soldiers, their families and civilian doctors blame vaccines given to them by the military, particularly the anthrax or smallpox shots. Some of the soldiers who died suddenly had complained about symptoms suffered by Bloom -- including pain in the legs that could indicate problems with blood clots. . . . "I would say that that number of cases among young healthy troops would seem to be unusual," Dr. Jeffrey Sartin, an infectious diseases doctor at the Gundersen Clinic in La Crosse, Wis., said about blood clot deaths. Sartin, a former Air Force doctor, last spring treated a soldier who might have died from anthrax or smallpox side effects. http://www.military.com/Content/Printer_Friendly_Version/1,11491,,00.html?st r_filename=FL%5Fmystery%5F100703&passfile=FL%5Fmystery%5F100703&page_url=%2F NewsContent%2F1%2C13319%2CFL%5Fmystery%5F100703%2C00%2Ehtml www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
