Officials probe 10 infant deaths at Fort BraggTo view the contents on www.theleafchronicle.com, go to: http://www.theleafchronicle.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201009011309/NEWS01/100901011--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many question to be asked of US military health officials now investigating the why "ten infants died at Fort Bragg" .. such as ..

Why did it take the "mysterious deaths of two infants at the same home within three weeks of each other" to prompt this investigation? Weren't the previous 8 unexplained deaths of infants enough to warrant such an investigation?

Brig. General Garrett, chief of staff of the 18th airborne corps said: "We cannot explain two deaths of children at one address and that's really the problem we're trying to solve"? So .. the other eight unexplained deaths of infants were not a problem? Is it just me .. or .. does anyone else believe the General's attitude to what may have caused the previous eight infants to die can be described as CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE?

The ten deaths being examined were among infants .. ranging in age from two weeks to eight months .. only ONE death was attributable to SIDS. Which means .. SEVEN were ruled "undetermined" by medical examiners with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and TWO remain under investigation. Yet .. the ONLY problem that raised concern was the fact that TWO children died after residing in the same house? Can anyone explain to me why the FIRST target of investigation is "dry wall" that may have come from China .. and .. NOTHING else is even suggested as a possible cause?

How many of these children had received HEP B within HOURS of birth? How many received any number of other vaccines within the "two weeks and eight months" they survived? Surely vaccines are being considered as a possible cause .. especially if ALL TEN of these infants had been VACCINATED? If these infants had been vaccinated .. Common sense would suggest vaccines .. NOT CHINESE DRY WALL .. may be responsible.

Also in this story is this quote: "Part of the investigation aims to determine whether 10 deaths in just under four years is itself an alarming departure from the norm. That's complicated by the fact that it's hard to establish how many infants are living on the base at any one time". Why is it "complicated" necessary to "establish how many infants are living on the base at any one time" .. if health officials are trying to "determine whether 10 deaths in just under four years is itself an alarming departure from the norm"? What does "living on the base" have to do with determining the "normal number of children who die under four years of age?

General Gray said "The investigation has considered everything from the presence of Chinese drywall in the homes to black mold, but has found evidence of neither". What General Gray did NOT say was "The investigation has considered everything .. INCLUDING VACCINES .. etc.

My heart goes out to the families of these infants and I sincerely hope and pray it WAS Chinese Drywall that "caused" the deaths .. because .. the alternative is just too difficult to comprehend.
