U.S. Military Starts Producing Vaccines: New Billion Dollar Experimental Vaccine Market?
The U.S. military is getting into the vaccine business. And why not? Pharmaceutical companies are desperate to develop new products to recover lost profits from expiring patents on block-buster drugs. Having the U.S. Military purchase vaccines that are not even FDA approved for "biodefense" purposes is a brilliant marketing scheme. Too bad it also subjects our fine men and women in uniform to be guinea pigs in a great billion dollar vaccine experiment! A recently released 122 page report, which was published in 2009 but never released to the media or shared with Congress, states that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is on track to spend billions of dollars "to create flu vaccines and specialized medicines to protect military personnel from germ warfare agents." Wow, what a great market for the pharmaceutical companies! They get to use your tax dollars funneled through HHS to develop new vaccines, and then your tax dollars are used again to purchase those vaccines and distribute to our military, who become basically test lab rats to help them find the next block buster vaccine or drug to unleash on the general population, of whom they have complete legal immunity if anything does go wrong and a bad product gets into the market. It's a win, win, win market for the pharmaceutical industry, and a lose, lose, lose way of life for the U.S. military and American public.
