I think I'm living in a conspiracy theory. My Father is Ret. Military - many years. In the 70's I almost died of meningitis, which my parents hid, and the same year my brother contracted aplastic anemia which he died from 4 years later. My Mom said they were at the National Institute of Health for my brother with other sick kids (and Jewish doctors) Like a research group. This disease is very rare. Only 2 pockets in California and Hawaii in the seventies. As for me, who the hell knows. I have memory loss. We all had spinal taps at NIH
I know troops are exposed to crap. Well, I think military brats are too.

I’m not sure about in the 70’s but I’m an Air Force brat and after 9/11 we were given 6 rounds of anthrax vaccines! I was no more than 10 at the time. Not to mention all of the other crap they probably injected in me so I could move overseas. Mad cow & all these other weird European diseases... My dad developed colon cancer about 5 years ago and he is convinced it was from the burning pits in Afghanistan. (He’s recovered now and retired from military but back at civilian work Thank god!) but I absolutely believe they use us as guinea pigs whenever they feel like it.

Mad Cow and all those other weird European diseases..lol. Anyone going any where within a sniff of the ME was given a cocktail of injections in one day, far too much for most immune systems to cope with, especially if you had anything else in your health background. Am sure you know about gulf war syndrome, then to be exposed to anything in the air ( burning pits ) will compound any problems.

Yeah it was a weird cocktail to be allowed back into the states too! I was 9-13 when my family was stationed in Ramstein AB Germany and then sent back to the states around 2004-5. I was in middle school there during 9/11 and the mad cow outbreak, hence, the weird cocktail and anthrax vaccines. I’m not even sure if I’m allowed to donate blood or plasma still? Which is a shame because I am AB+ and they allegedly really need my plasma so much they are willing to pay for it.

I was in Europe 5 years during mad cow. Now I can't donate blood.
