The chemical drifted miles inland, its fluorescence allowing the spread to be monitored. In another trial using zinc cadmium sulphide, a generator was towed along a road near Frome in Somerset where it spewed the chemical for an hour. While the Government has insisted the chemical is safe, cadmium is recognised as a cause of lung cancer and during the Second World War was considered by the Allies as a chemical weapon. |

My people- infants are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, your guides mislead you and they have swallowed up the course of your paths.

The military was testing how a biological weapon attack would affect the 800,000 residents of the city. Over and over again, the military has conducted dangerous biowarfare experiments on Americans.

Vanderbuilt University 1940's On Dec. 8, DOE revealed that researchers gave radioactive pills to 751 pregnant women seeking free care at a prenatal clinic run by Vanderbilt University. The pills exposed the women and their fetuses to radiation 30 times higher than natural levels, about the same as an X-ray. The doses were not considered unsafe at the time. [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] Both the women and the fetuses were unwilling participants. They had no idea what was being done. That article does not mention monitoring the long-term effects of radiation on pregnant women or their children. But a Vanderbilt follow-up study in the 1960s shifted its focus to that subject. A study published in 1969 in the American Journal of Epidemiology concluded that three of the children born to the women likely died because of the radiation exposure: an 11-year-old girl who died of a tumor; an 11-year-old boy who died of cancer; and a 5-year-old boy who died of lymphatic leukemia. Vanderbilt officials said researchers kept documents of the study until they were destroyed in the 1970s. |
