Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I received the Anthrax vaccine on 2/16/03, 3/15/03, and on 4/13/03. With each of the vaccines, I had large lumps at the site of the injection. With the first immunization, I was terribly dehydrated and was ill as in having the flu. Since taking these, I feel that I get dehydrated easier, have some dizziness, memory loss, and shortness of breath. (OMIC)

I personally am aware of an individual who was a very dynamic individual prior to taking the anthrax vaccine; however, upon her return from being deployed, she was unable to continue in her civil service position due partially to memory loss.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. Our family has a long history of military service to this country - dating back to the Revolution. When my brother served this country for 8 years, he was willing to do anything asked of him to protect our home, family, and quality of life. Unfortunately, this country didn't care about my brother. He was forced to receive the anthrax vaccine. While many others have had side effects more severe than his, it has stolen my brother's memory skills. It has caused a great deal of frustration and heartache for him and his wife - forgetting everything from car key placement to birthdays of love ones and their names. (OMIC)

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I received four of the six shots while in the guard. My shots were given between June 2003 and April 2004. My health prior to receiving the shots was perfect. After receiving the shots, I now suffer from fatigue, vertigo which can strike me suddenly, persistent headaches lasting months at a time, worsening joint aches and concentration difficulties. I have been seeing doctors since October 2003 when I could no longer pretend that nothing was the matter. Reliably, the symptoms got worse after each shot I received. I cam currently having my records evaluated by a hospital to see if any correlation can be made since there are no studies available. (OMIC)

Symptoms: Immune system disorder, Rash pruritic, Rheumatoid arthritis
Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I am a 47 year old reservist who has rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune disease. In April and May 1999, I received my first three Anthrax vaccinations. From lots (FAV038, FAV038, FAV041). That summer, June/July 1999, I started experiencing rashes (red blotches with little white bumps) on my toes/feet, knees and fingers/hands. These were unique experiences in my life. (I did have an outbreak of hives once when I was 5 years old about 3 minutes after receiving a shot of penicillin.) Unique in this since, sometimes the rashes would start after exercising, walking or riding my bike, but not always. Sometimes after showering, again not always. And sometimes if I was just sitting reading or watching TV and out of nowhere, with no apparent reason, the rashes would start. Most times the rashes would be intensely burning and itching, literally like being tortured. Sometimes I thought I was going to go out of my mind because it was so intense. It would usually fade away after a couple of hours. This continued like this, 3-4 times a week, and then started to fade away to once or twice a week, until October 1999, when I received the fourth shot. When I went in for the fourth shot, lot FAV044), in October 1999, I asked if the shots could be the cause of the rashes. I was assured, by the Med Tech at the clinic there is no medical evidence that the vaccines caused this to happen and received the fourth shot. The rashes became increasingly intense again and this lasted for about another year and a half. There was no report done. Eventually the rashes started to fade away and maybe happened once a month at most. On 10/1/01, I was activated due to 9/11 and on the 8th received a Td vaccination. By 10/15/01, the rashes had started again but also with swelling in my toes that became very painful. For the next few months, all my toes became involved and it moved to my knees and to my fingers/hands. In December 2001, I saw my PCP and in February 2002, he made an appointment for me to see a rheumatologist in March 2002. My rheumatologist first impression was early RA, as he noted in my record of care. It has not been two and half years I have suffered with this Rheumatoid arthritis and the military continues to deny that there is any connection between the vaccines and the RA. (OMIC) Follow-up: Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (chronic condition - lifelong). Undergoing medical management for condition.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. My son was in the guard. He was told he had to take the anthrax vaccine. He had real doubts to the safety of the vaccine, and expressed that he did not want to take the shots. He was threatened with a court martial. So he took it. He became very ill for over a month. Achy bones, flu-like symptoms, and in general, miserable. When it came time to take the next of the series, he again declined. However the pressure was very great. So he took it again. This time he became very ill. Bones aching, his teeth feeling as though they were falling out. It took him quite a while to get better. When the time came up again to take the vaccine, he refused. They threatened him with a court martial and 10 years in prison. He refused. He believed it would kill him if he took the vaccine again. We all knew it was wrong. They continued to threaten him with a court martial. Then all of a sudden they quit threatening him and he was deployed. When deployed, they began to put pressure on him again. He continued to refuse. He never took the vaccine again.

Symptoms: Atrioventricular block second degree, Chest pain, Dyspnoea, Gastrooesophageal reflux disease, Injury
Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I would like to comment on the Anthrax vaccination. I am a soldier in the military who has not yet taken the vaccine, but my husband was a soldier until he took the Anthrax vaccine. Up until the vaccine, he was a completely healthy man with less than 10 visits to a doctor in the seven years he spent in the military. When he was seen, it was for injuries to his knees and for acid reflux. He was ordered to take the Anthrax in preparation for deployment. Shortly after his platoon took the vaccination, he developed shortness of breath, and chest pain. He could no longer run with his unit, prior to this he was the physical training instructor and now he was falling out of runs. Eventually, he developed second degree heart block which required him to receive a pacemaker. The odd thing about all of this is he was not the only soldier in his platoon to develop heart block. Another soldier came down with the same symptoms however of a lesser degree which did not require him to get a pacemaker. I, as a soldier, will not take this vaccine, even if it means that I throw away 11 years of service.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I am extremely concerned about the anthrax vaccine. I am not a vaccine expert, but after having received five anthrax shots myself, and doing extensive reading and research, I feel there is a big problem with the vaccine. If nothing else, there are many questions that need answers. My story should be a familiar one. I was in excellent health and had no family history of autoimmune disorders. While in the military as an enlisted member, I received five anthrax shots. Three cam from lots later identified by the FDA to contain squalene. This is not the adjuvant of the original, licensed vaccine. I had severe site swelling, and by the third shot, the red, hot welt covered 70% of my arm. I had severe fatigue, malaise, joint pain and muscle soreness. I had a miscarriage after the third shot. I have since had to leave the military. Part of the reason is that I would rather quit than be subjected to another anthrax shot. The other part of the reason is that I am now physically disabled (40% so far) with an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder. My blood has been tested and I am positive for anti-squalene antibodies as well. The original vaccine from the 1970's has never proven to be effective. Studies are vague and ambiguous at best. The original product insert states that adverse reaction rate to be 0.2% with minimal side effects. This is well within acceptable industry standards. However, the product insert was changed in 2002 and the adverse reaction rate was raised to 5-35%. This is very high and begs the question, "Why did the rate change so drastically if the vaccine has not been changed?" The updated product insert also lists many autoimmune as side effects and includes fatalities. Why would anyone risk a 35% chance of coming down with an incurable autoimmune disorder or dying from taking a vaccine that has never been proven to be completely effective against all strains and all delivery methods. Finding squalene in the anthrax vaccine is of particular concern since squalene is well documented to cause autoimmune diseases in animals. The military has argued for years that we need a more effective vaccine and has been promoting a second generation vaccine that is not really any different from the original except that squalene is used as the adjuvant. Squalene has never been licensed for use in humans and in my opinion never should. Yet, the FDA found squalene in five lots of anthrax vaccine in amounts equating to a standard dose range study. After finally releasing the information (after sitting on the results for 16 months), the FDA has yet to come up with a plausible reason as to how the squalene got in the vaccine. I would like to know why the FDA hasn't continued to test other lots of anthrax vaccine for this illegal substance. My concern extends beyond just the anthrax vaccine to other new generation vaccines in development that may contain squalene as an adjuvant. (OMIC)

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. I'm in the military and I'm sick from the anthrax vaccine tainted with squalene. Little did I know that after taking the shots, my life was going to change forever. I had my 6-serious of anthrax vaccine overseas from 1998 to 2000. My problems started out as bilateral tennis elbow. I didn't do any repetitive activities that would cause this. Tennis elbows continued and I was diagnosed with rosacea. My left elbow tendon tore for no reason and I had to have surgery to repair the tendon and radial nerve release. My tennis elbow continued on the right. I injured my neck while shoveling snow and was diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome with trigger points. I was diagnosed with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea/CPAP. My hands swelled up and every joint in my hands hurt requiring me to wear lidoderm patches and splints 12 hours a day 24/7. Rheumatologists can't find the problem but they have found 3 cysts in my right hand. I have a bone cyst on my C-2 vertebra. I have sacroiliac syndrome that is almost crippling with pain; I can't stand for more than a couple minutes before I sit down. I can't walk more than 1.4 mile a day. My feet are swollen and painful.

Almost immediately after taking the first one, he had red spots on his legs and arms that got infected and would break open. About 6 months after taking his first shot, he had a major seizure and fell down a set of stairs. Along with the seizures, he had times where he would fall and not know it. He had mood swings, muscle pains, times where he would just feel flu symptoms and loss of eye sight. His left eye lost about 1/2 of its sight and the right had some loss also. All of these things happening within a period of about 2 years. Unfortunately, for my mom and me, we lost him in June of 2003, unexpectedly having a grand mal seizure.

In the last few years, I have watched a steady decline in my husbands health due to the anthrax vaccine. It has been determined that he is completely unemployable and has deemed him incompetent. The disability board has deemed my husband 100% disabled. We are still waiting on the military to make a decision on his case. The shot has left my healthy, active husband with seizures, chronic vascular migraines, short and long term memory loss, depression, and a plethora of other things. I would not want my loved one to have this shot because the side effects are so many and so easily attained.

Clinical narrative: Submitted to Docket No. 1980N-0208; 69 FR 78281, December 29, 2004 - Bacterial Vaccines & Toxoids Efficacy Review Proposal. My husband has become completely disabled as a result of the anthrax vaccine and has been on Social Security Disability since 2000. He has chronic pain in all parts of his body. He has Charlie horses in his muscles when he does too much activity. Too much activity consists of things like walking around for a half an hour...activities that any normal person could do with no problem. He can't even sit at a desk and type for too long before his fingers cramp up. Before being vaccinated, he was the supervisor of a saw shop and his job was very physical. He was always very active and loved to be outdoors. He received his vaccinations in the military; he was very proud to serve his country, but his life has been taken away from him because of the anthrax vaccine. He was only 27 when his symptoms started. His blood has tested positive for squalene which is an adjuvant in the vaccine which is causing his autoimmune disease. If this vaccine is licensed for public use, I can't imaging the devastation that it could cause. Please take our comments into consideration.

The blunt of the illness began when my husband, whom served his country with prode and honor, returned home in July of 2002 from his fourth tour of duty. The man I married left for his final tour of duty in 2002 and came back as someone I did not recognize. So far his diagnosis have been: GERD, acid reflux, IBS, benign Prostatic hyperplasia, Rheumatoid arthritis, depression, chronic fatigue and autoimmune disease. He suffers from memory loss and muscle weakness daily. He has endured medical testing and treatment, which is ongoing, daily sporadic symptoms keeping him from functioning in a normal healthy life style, ridicule, being let down by he commanders and unit, and everyday life in a previously healthy body that is breaking down daily. He is a proud man who stood strong in his beliefs in the military and the government. Little did he know that they would all turn a blind eye to him and many others that have fell sick or died because of the atrocious vaccine that is slowly disabling or killing our military personnel. (OMIC) Information from 60 day follow-up report states: Patient continues with symptoms described in adverse event report. Further information if desired is available through National Vaccine Healthcare Center.
