Well wishes and prayers for Tony Snow. I hope he is able to return to his job soon. Elizabeth Edwards and Tony's courage should humble a few people...um, Rush cough..Katie.

The arrogance of Doctors at the DOD pisses me when they say soldiers that are ill from possible effects of anthrax vaccines (or worse, ssshhh...depleted uranium) is most likely in their heads. If you suffer from an autoimmune illness from chronic pain, fatigue, memory problems, and countless other symptoms you never had before in your life--there is something wrong.

The Pentagon resumed its controversial mandatory anthrax vaccinations program for selected troops last week despite the fact that its own doctors are quietly conducting research into adverse effects of the vaccine, a RAW STORY investigation has found.

A few days after receiving his third anthrax vaccination, Hernandez says, he developed a lesion on his leg that he was told was most likely a spider bite. He was put on a course of antibiotics and continued preparing for deployment.

"I had never had health problems," he said.

The lesion grew and other autoimmune problems developed. In May 2006, Hernandez was forced to return home to receive medical care.

"When I got back, I had 13 lesions," he said. "It was just too much for my immune system," he said of the vaccine. "They didn't know what the hell I had."

When he told the military he thought that his illness was related to the vaccine, he said, staff told him he was "delusional" and the relation between his mystery autoimmune illness and the shots "were in his head."

"For a while," he said, "I thought I was going crazy."

Please if you read this blog, start reading the news. Research names, news items, things that doesn't seem right or make you think "another lie" or reminds you of something in the past---remember what it was because history is repeating itself with the same players or their offspring. Only this time along with the planet, people are getting sicker, babies are born autistic, soldiers come home thinking that they got lucky-only to discover they are sick for the rest of their lives and their hell has only just begun. They deserve better and so do our children. So do you. PEACE.
