. War soldiers received a then secret vaccination known as "Vaccine 279A-WE-222936-USAMRIID The excerpt states that as of the early 1990s, IVINS and the other researchers at USAMRIID had four viable prototypes of a single shot anthrax vaccine ready for clinical trials. The last sentence of the excerpt reads, "All Fort Detrick needed now was the right time and place to test them." This sentence apparently alludes to the Persian Gulf War as the time and the place to test the prototypes. A copy of the excerpt found at the abovementioned website is attached to and made part of this document. A www.google.com search using the terms "badger and anthrax and vanity fair" revealed an article titled, "The Pentagon's Toxic Secret" authored by Gary Matsumoto. The article contends that approximately 150,000 Gulf A", which was in actuality an anthrax vaccine. Dr. PAM ASA Ph.D. has conducted studies on numerous Gulf War veterans’ and she believes that the Gulf War Syndrome is the result of a squalene adjuvant used in Vaccine A. The articles references "Project Badger" as an operation that may have developed a "modified version of its ED.A.-licensed anthrax vaccine." Project Badger was made up of 14 officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force. According to the article, Project Badger's first meeting was on October 9, 1990 at Fort Detrick, Maryland, the site of USAMRIID. The purpose of the meeting was to "surge" the production of vaccines for anthrax and botulinum toxin. According to the article, Project Badger then contracted with Lederle-Praxis Biologicals of Pearl River, New York to produce the additional anthrax vaccine with the help of the National Cancer Institute's Frederick (Maryland) Cancer Research and Development Center (NCI). Both Lederle and NCI were not licenced to produce the vaccine. According to the article, Lederle and NCI would produce the vaccine and ship it to the only licensed manufacturer of the vaccine, Michigan Biologic Products Institute (MBPI) (purchased later by Bioport, Inc.) who would then bottle, label and store the vaccine. The leader of Project Badger, Army General Ronald Blanck, denies that anybody other than MBPI produced the vaccine. Since the Gulf War, Project Badger has been declassified but there have no documents found that prove that a squalene adjuvant was used in an unapproved vaccine and the Army has denied the claim.
