LOCAL SOLDIER GIVEN ANTHRAX VACCINE

12/26/2003



Wednesday, a U.S. district judge ordered the military to stop adminstering
the anthrax vaccine to service members without their consent until a trial
can be held on the matter. Plaintiffs in the case argue that the anthrax
vaccine is being used as an experimental drug.

But for one local Air Force member, the ruling may have come too late. Bryan
Latham explains.

Vance Wasden, USAF-honorably discharged:

"Last Christmas Eve, they had to have an ambulance come and get me because
my wife thought that I was dying because I stopped breathing and my eyes
rolled in the back of my head."

It is just one of the many traumas Vance Wasden lives through. But it wasn't
always like this - Wasden was once a very healthy 24-year-old serving in the
United States Air Force. However, his life changed back in 1998 when he had
an adverse reaction to the anthrax vaccine.

"The joint pain, the muscular pains, the memory loss, concentration
problems..."

Plus chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia - all which he battles daily. In
total, Wasden lives with over a dozen different conditions - all due, he
says, to a bad vaccine.

"My vaccination was five years old and they changed the date on my vaccine
just so they could give it to me and the FDA inspections and Congressional
oversight also proved sequeline was in my vaccine illegally."

Suprisingly, Wasden says he whishes he could still serve, loves the
military, and has nothing but admiration for those still serving.

"I am not doing this out of hostility towards the military. I am just hoping
that what I say and what other people say will protect our troops."

He has a document outlining other members of his unit who have become sick
too.

"I hope that they will take the time to write their congressmen, write their
senator, and write to Washington, and ask that the people who were jailed -
they'll be given an honorable discharge, and all those who are sick be given
a proper military retirement and for the families of those people who are
dead, will get retribution."

What he wants is every soldier to be properly honored.

More than 800,000 troops have received the anthrax vaccine since 1998.
