As a veteran of that period of the anthrax - dare I say it - "warp speed" development/deployment, and a medical NCOIC charged with administering/documenting the anthrax vax to a large military unit including the pilots, this post brought back much regret on my part regarding that episode of time and the consequences to too many of us.

When I attempted to inform higher up the chain of command of the warning signals I was observing following anthrax vax admin, I was told I would be receiving a General Courts Martial.

To my unit commander's credit, he bucked that direct order from the pentagon and instead administered the lesser punishment of an Article 15, but it still ended my career, and gave me a sense of guilt and shame for decades - until recent years when I heard about other military medical members with similar experiences of overt intimidation and punishment, including the mentioned 'Direct Order' movie which I saw.

So much damage, so many lives ruined back then, as now...

Most of these phony vaccination scams have been disasters. The mRNA injection crappola is about the biggest so far. It points to a very inept vaccination program with no proven benefits.

It is important to recognize that ONLY South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem truly got her pandemic response right from the start. While DeSantis DID have some lockdowns, etc., Noem never put any state-wide lock downs or shut downs in place. She is the ONLY governor in the entire nation. DeSantis eventually got it right, but at the start, he stumbled with the rest of them. Noem went with the Constitutional response (i.e. she didn't have the right to shut down any business or lock people down) even when it was scary and confusing. She didn't always get it right later, but let's be fair and give her tremendous credit for doing a really hard thing when she was the first and only one doing it then.

Just horrible what those people experienced with the Anthrax jab. In 2003 I was sailing as an assistant engineer on board an Articulating Tug and Barge (ATB). We were contracted by the US Military Sealift Command (MSC) to load out military cargo from Belgium destined for Kuwait City, Kuwait. Prior to sailing each crew member was required to be jabbed with Small Pox and Anthrax or we could not sail this voyage. Basically we’d lose our jobs. So we got jabbed with both on the same day. We were told that we would need to take a second dose of the Anthrax jab once we got to Europe within 3 weeks of the 1st one. And so 14 days later we arrived to a port on the island of Crete were we took fuel and got the second Anthrax jab.

During the voyage across the Atlantic Ocean before arriving Crete, most of us if not all came down with severe flu like symptoms. No one had been sick prior to the jabs. We were a small crew of 10 men and we each had to stand watch respective to our jobs. Not fun when one is sick as a dog. I remember at one point sitting on the upper deck in the engine room in 140 degree heat and just thanking God how good it felt. I had been experiencing head aches, joint and muscle pain, and chills. My skin felt prickly and sensitive to just the weight of my cloths. But in the engine room with all that heat blanketing my body like a dry sauna, it was pure relief.

I’d say it took about 10 days before I started to feel good again. The scab from the small pox jab(s), all 15 or 16 of them had formed a nice scab that finally fell off, but at that time none of us knew what was making us feel so bad, the Small Pox jab, the Anthrax jab, or maybe both. Well I found out after we had the second Anthrax jab in Crete and went through feeling horrible again. My mind was in a fog, I was tired all the time, and I just felt like crap. It was a little less intense than the 1st time but I felt bad as we transited the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and on around to the Persian Gulf up to Kuwait City. I didn’t start to feel good again until after we offloaded the cargo and began our return to the States.

When I think back on that time, the Second Gulf War had begun while we were in Crete. I think we all thought getting the Anthrax jab was a good idea since the MSC told us that Saddam Hussein was firing SCUD missiles at the port we were going to and that they “could” be armed with Anthrax as a bio weapon. He did after all, use it on his own people prior if I remember correctly. So was this just the propaganda of fear to justify the jab to us? Probably but it was a very tense time knowing we were headed into a war hot zone. We bought into it. I have no idea if my other crew mates had any reactions or injury later in life to the Anthrax jab, I certainly hope not. That was 20 years ago and I lost touch with all those guys. I’m 62 and I thank God I’m healthy. I did not take any of the CoVid Jabs because I figured since I’m chock full of other jabs and inoculations required by the MSC or the WHO in addition to the SP and Anthrax jabs, I didn’t want to add anymore to the mix. Plus the fact it never felt right to me when they started pushing the Fauci Ouchi on the world.

Thanks for posting this piece on Anthrax, for me it was a stark reminder of the control the DOD has over military personnel, and also as in my case, the civilian contractors too.

I know.

I used to be in a "position of power"! Ha! The walls I'd bang into was phenomenal. I protected my "students" who were newbies in the hospital and who didn't realize how politics would impact their lives and aspirations. I saw stuff that gave me nightmares! I recognized how my position could make or break a student's future aspirations. Incidentally, I dumped the job right around the time Covid hit. My medical profession imploded infront of my eyes as I saw the evil of vaccinations. Your substack on the Anthrax vaccine, got me so worked up, all over again, is all! If there were any blinders left on my eyes, there are no more since Covid. I look forward to reading your substacks into my enforced retirement!

I did not know the extent of the horror. Speechless.

And you are exactly right I think, about the mentality that is used to deploy these dangerous untested and unproven vaccines, and then double down on them.

This has to stop.

The horrors inflected upon the populous by our leaders are nothing short of crimes against humanity. These atrocities will only stop when equal and opposite pressure is applied.

I was having a fairly good day until reading this article. I remember feeling rather sick when I learned of the Anthrax injuries to so many all the while the gov't was trying to make them the crazy ones. Lurking in the back of my mind was the military Anthrax program when they brought the Covid vaxx out. Thank you so much for remembering these people and educating others on the topic.

The anthrax vaccine saga is soaked in blood. One of the inventors of the Army's anthrax vaccine was Bruce Ivins, who was eventually accused by the FBI of being behind the original anthrax attacks in 2001. He killed himself in 2008 as the FBI was closing in, but he may have been framed by the federal agents. An alleged motive for the crime was that the attacks increased demand for Ivins' vaccine that had been patented by the Government. (Inventors who are federal employees share in patent royalties under the Bay-Dole Act). So an inventor of the anthrax vaccine was either 1) a greedy bioterrorist or 2) an unjustly accused man who died because of FBI intrigue against him. From your chilling description of the effects of the anthrax vaccine, there is some horrible cosmic retribution in this Greek tragedy. The people behind the Covid vaccine may want to look over their shoulders.

Not that it matters to the somnolent wokester fasco-Marxists, but for the rest of us, the longer I go, the more I think Eisenhower just might have been one of our better presidents,

"If all that Americans want is security, they can go to prison. They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof over their heads. But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government.”— President Dwight D. Eisenhower

I want to highlight that Kristi Noem was the ONLY US leader who stood up right from the start. Not to take away from DeSantis' remarkable achievements. He did follow the herd at the beginning but deviated very quickly to his credit.

Thanks for sharing this. I served in the Navy in the 80’s and took all the shots in the arms, with the air guns, and the wad of Penicillin in the ass during boot camp. I stayed sick the entire time. They called it ‘Ricky Flu.’ Being in close quarters from kids from all over the States; we were swapping germs and building immunity. Donald Rumsfeld is hopefully burning in hell now. Aspartame and he go way back. I believe he was named in the Anthrax cases as well.

My son was wanting to take a Commission and Possibly go to medical school. After all that has been revealed in the last two years, it is hard to advise him as a father.

This is the first time I am hearing about the movie 'Direct Order'. Better late than never I suppose. And Amy Goodman can go suck herself.

It’s just a miracle I didn’t get the shots, even though my Fed employer mandated them. I had no idea about the Anthrax vaccine or any of this, wow. I only last year read the truth about HIV. I had no idea about that ether. Fauci again. Wow again. I just refused the vaccine because I haven’t seen a doctor in over 20 years and figured I didn’t need it. And I didn’t like the way they were forcing it on people, a year later, either. I had read Malcolm Kendrick’s books and Gary Taubes so I was already skeptical…thank you for writing.

Army Sergeant Scott Siefkin’s terrifying and terribly sad story is so horrific, it’s hard to read and not feel anguish for him and his family. To go through this ordeal of pain, having all your skin removed, only to die a few weeks later is beyond comprehension.

Perhaps many other "syndromes" created by the medical establishment for illnesses with unknown etiology could also be traced back to injections, if one were to look carefully.
