For the second time in less than a year, a federal judge in Washington blocked the Pentagon from forcing troops to take the anthrax vaccine, saying the vaccine was not properly approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
As a result of Wednesday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, the Defense Department will suspend vaccinations until the legal situation is clarified, Pentagon spokesman Jim Turner said.
"The men and women of our armed forces deserve the assurance that the vaccines our government compels them to take into their bodies have been tested by the greatest scrutiny of all--public scrutiny," Sullivan wrote in his 41-page opinion.
The Anthrax vaccine program was a fucking joke.
