I do not trust those who make the vaccines, or the apparatus behind it all to push it on us through fear.

But I am just as appalled that my experience, knowledge, dedication and service relative to defending the United States against biological warfare has been turned against me in connection with the search for the anthrax killer.

The scars of others should teach us caution.

I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.

You have to trust your body to take care of you.

My fear is that if we don't take remedial steps to control polio in the tribal areas, we will be faced with international sanctions.

Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can't be treated just where it's visible - every diseased cell in the body must be destroyed.

Fighting the Taliban and the various radical organizations on the front lines is like adding a Band-Aid to a cut, it may stop the bleeding but unless you clean it with antiseptic, the germs stay and multiply.

I think that people's resistance to vaccination isn't going to disappear until we address some of the nonmedical reasons for that resistance and people's discomfort and distrust of the government. That's bigger than what most medical professionals can handle.
