Does anyone have any information about, or know anyone who received, experimental vaccines or developed severe symptoms following inoculation(s) at Dugway Army Proving Grounds, UT in the early 1980s?

I was a junior USAF officer who was forcefully given unexplained inoculations from a self-described "Army doctor" at Dugway, UT in 1981. I was on flying status, and ONLY the USAF Flight Surgeon at Hill AFB, UT, had SOLE authority for my complete medical care; the Army had "NO" responsibility or authority for ANY of my medical care (not even for a hangnail). Yet, I received a telephone call ordering me to appear for an appointment at the Dugway Army Medical Clinic early one morning; upon arriving, I was told that "they," the Army, had reviewed my shot record (something I knew was untrue because, due to my USAF flying status, I kept the only, and original, shot record on my person, something that the USAF Flight Surgeon at Hill AFB DID review with each visit) and determined that I needed more vaccinations (also untrue because, due to my worldwide deployment requirement, I already had been given "everything" and, having just moved twice in the previous year, had had my shot record reviewed and updated each time). After an hour of refusing, but under many threats, including that of a courts martial, but the promise of being given vaccination documentation at a future date (which I never received), I succumbed to the pressure and threats and was given three inoculations, each twenty minutes apart, by a "doctor" and his PA, in a private, closed examination room (other than the room used for vaccinations) with the PA's constant observation. Within weeks, I developed multiple, severe symptoms, very similar to, but more severe than those of Gulf War Illness (GWI), that remain to this day. My identical twin, who was in the USAF but never at Dugway, doesn't have ANY of the tortuous, disabling symptoms that I suffer.

"ANY" help you can provide, even including stories you may have heard about someone else, would be MOST appreciated! THANK YOU!

US army plans to bulk-buy anthrax
24 September 2005

The controversial move is likely to raise questions over US commitment to treaties designed to limit the spread of biological weapons
THE US military wants to buy large quantities of anthrax, in a controversial move that is likely to raise questions over its commitment to treaties designed to limit the spread of biological weapons.

A series of contracts have been uncovered that relate to the US army's Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. They ask companies to tender for the production of bulk quantities of a non-virulent strain of anthrax, and for equipment to produce significant volumes of other biological agents. Issued earlier this year, the contracts were discovered by Edward Hammond, director of the Sunshine Project, a US-German organisation that campaigns against the use of biological and chemical weapons.

One "biological services" contract specifies: "The company must have the ability and be willing to grow Bacillus anthracis Sterne strain at 1500-litre quantities." Other contracts are for fermentation equipment for producing 3000-litre batches of an unspecified biological agent, and sheep carcasses to ...

Thank you, Zack! "Everything" like this helps! Your post suggests that the Army (or other Federal Department or Agency) is at least considering significant research in the future or, possibly, is continuing research. If nothing else, it shows that Dugway is a facility worthy of such research. Perhaps most importantly, the article provides points of contact. Thank you for your post!

Sincerely,
George
