Military Mute On Vaccine Danger?

A half million U.S. soldiers were inoculated for the war with Iraq. When Army Reservist Rachael Lacy got her military shots last spring, she became deathly ill in a matter of weeks. The coroner listed "recent smallpox and anthrax vaccination(s)" as contributors to her death. Yet the military doesn't mention Lacy under "Noteworthy Adverse Events" in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association touting its smallpox vaccine success. It claims no deaths.
