Officer anonymously blasts Pentagon's anthrax
vaccinations in Naval Institute magazine

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 March 04, 2000

An attack on the armed forces' program of anthrax vaccinations
has turned up in an unlikely place - Proceedings, the monthly
magazine of the U.S. Naval Institute.

The institute is a private, nonprofit organization and has no
direct connection to the Navy. But since 1873, its offices have
been situated on the Navy's most hallowed ground - the Naval
Academy in Annapolis, Md. Its magazine is all but required
reading for officers in the Navy and Marine Corps and is widely
influential in those circles.

Criticism of the anthrax shots has been common among the 2.4
million active-duty and reserve military people who must take
them. Scores of military people have refused to take the shots.
Most have been punished or, in the case of reservists, have
chosen to resign.

But so far, the criticism has been limited to the civilian press.
Proceedings magazine appears to be the first quasi-military
publication to publish such an article.

Publication doesn't necessarily suggest that the magazine agrees
with the article's points. Proceedings prides itself on being a
forum for all points of view. But the magazine generally takes a
sober approach and is not known as an outlet for sensationalist
or outlandish views.

The article in question is titled "Stop Mandatory Anthrax
Vaccinations." The byline reads, "By An Anonymous Military
Officer" - a departure from the policy of Proceedings.

The author describes himself as an officer with 17 years of
service. He says that open criticism "has ended many promising
careers and stifled even the most adamant voices."

Like other critics, the anonymous officer asserts that the
vaccine has been spottily tested and manufactured under
questionable standards. The officer charges that the vaccine may
fail to protect against anthrax while causing serious side
effects.

The Pentagon has insisted that the vaccine is safe and effective.
