There has been a lot of talk this week by ASD HA Winkenwerder about how the National Academy of
Sciences' Institute of Medicine (IOM) said that anthrax vaccine is 100% effective and just as safe
as any other vaccine. The IOM report came out in March 2002, and the Defense Department did enormous
PR about this wonderful report, which it used to justify restarting the AVIP.
The URL above is my 3/2002 detailed critique of the so-called science in this report. Like so
many other reports commissioned by the Defense Department, the IOM's conclusions are pure spin.
If you are curious how such an esteemed institution could go so far wrong on anthrax vaccine,
here's your answer.
