"Keep the unions strong...

From a IAFF Union President"

Got a question for you since you are a FF Union President.... How are you going to deal/handle when the Mayor of your area tells the FF's they have to be Vaccinated for this Biodefence/Bioterror Bill that just passed?

I don't know if this has been an issue with your area as yet.. but it's going to be shortly...

If you'd like to hear more off the public forum I'd be glad to talk through email... usahog(at)hotmail(dot)com

I do not have enough info to have an opion. sorry

I understand... Would you like to know more about it?

and not from the company's nor the Mayor's office as they get their information from the company who's pushing the product...

With you being a Union President and this possibly becoming a major issue you will have to deal with in the future.. I would be glad to send you a copy of a book and allot more literature and facts pertaining to the one Anthrax Vaccine that is and will be pushed towards your Union members here in the very near future... and I don't know for sure but these members may have to tow the line or put their careers on the line as well... and the best preventative is to be well informed!

One thing about having a collective bargaining agreement is that nothing can be forced on us. The Goverment can not over ride our contract (ie. if the labor laws change if they are in our contract we maintain them). As it gets closer our state Assiotation will call the presidents to gether and we will make a plan. You do seem to have a passion for this topic...? How come?

"You do seem to have a passion for this topic...? How come?"

IMOFF, It's not a passional topic for me... It's a way of life for myself and family now..

I really cannot discuss my issue's in a public forum because they continue to be ongoing legal matter..

But I can tell you I was once a person who could work from sun up to sundown, and would.. I worked my full time job and then went home and worked another job helping farmers in the fields, put up hay, changed out combine heads, worked cattle, set fence posts ETC... whatever needed done? I used to work side jobs as a Union Carpenter (experienced roofer,framer,finisher) I would pick up a roofing job (bid it, retrieve materials, and line up everything to complete the job in one weekend or over a holiday) grab a few buddy's and we would tear off and re-roof for extra cash in our pockets... in late 1999 that all changed.. I recieved my first series of Anthrax Vaccines and from that point on my body began to systematically break down?? I didn't know anything about what was going on with my system and denied most of it not wanting to go to the doctor (Prior to 2000 I hated seeing doctors for anything, But I would always get an annual physical which was part of my Job) That would be the only time (Annually) a doctor would see my smiling face.

Needless to say my Full time position was Career Military 18 1/2 yrs with 15 yrs Civil Service and 14 Excellent Performance Appraisals, Never in my mind did I ever think the Military nor my Command would put a person's life and career in jeopardy? (accept of course in War or sake of National Security which I was and still willing to lay my life on the line for) but in peace time?

this is where I need to stop on my Issue.. I would be glad to go forward by saying I now do my part in getting the word out to as many other Veterans as I can about this issue which is become the same type issue as Agent Orange was during Vietnam... It's a matter of showing folks the facts and letting them decifer the tons of paperwork leading to and away from these vaccines causing the problems while at the same time anyone in their right mind has to ask WHY?

If something isn't for the good of the people, why continue to force it upon them? Money?

I seen you post your a FF'rs Union President, and I also recall the article I shared with you above and wanted to get your opinion on this because I can tell you.. you will be dealing with this issue and for your union brothers below you sooner rather then later... the paperwork is already being set in place.. I just don't want to see one more person's life or family have to go through what I've seen first handedly!

As long as I still have my Freedom of Speech, I'm going to chirp like a canary!

Below is bioports main website... if you go down and read their "Adverse Reactions" go to Anthrax Vaccine pull down tab, then product insert..
