Should the anthrax vaccine be tested in children? It will be a while longer before the government decides.

The National Biodefense Science Board said Friday a separate review board should look into the ethical issues of doing such tests in children. If that is completed successfully, the panel, said, the Department of Health and Human Services should develop a plan for a study of the vaccine in children.
How to protect young people after an anthrax attack is a challenging issue, said Dr. Nicole Lurie, a member of the board and assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Public Health Service. "Protecting children still stands, for me, among the most important responsibilities that we have as a nation."

Yes, let the children join us all as experimental guinea pigs!

Honestly though, they're just looking out for our welfare.

Let�s see if I understand this. To protect �the children� from anthrax they will need to be injected with a new unproven vaccine. But to be really sure the vaccine really works would they not have to expose the children to anthrax?
