Vaccine Dangers
The news team found risks had been concealed from people asked to take the smallpox vaccines. They also expose the military's refusal to admit its vaccines are harming some soldiers; soldiers who are often dismissed and treated like "malingerers." They focused on the case of Rachael Lacy. The military denied her death was from the vaccines it administered but the news team found her death certificate showed otherwise. They also looked at the case of NBC War Correspondent David Bloom who died after his vaccinations. His case was not reported or investigated as a possible vaccine adverse event. They also looked at a Journal of the American Medical Association claiming there had been "no" deaths after smallpox vaccinations.

Hidden Casualties: Mark Benjamin's reporting on sick, injured and wounded U.S. troops
After revealing that hundreds of National Guard and Reserve Soldiers in medical hold at Fort Stewart, Ga., were being kept in hot cement barracks, UPI further investigates the issue of sick, injured and wounded U.S troops. The investigation reveals that conditions similar to Fort Stewart also prevail in Fort Knox. Further, the report includes a detailed account linking a number of U.S non-combat illnesses and deaths in Iraq and elsewhere to possible side effects of anthrax and smallpox vaccines. Also, after the death of NBC reporter David Bloom from a blood clot in Iraq, Benjamin started tracking other cases in which soldiers there and in the U.S had become sick or died from blood clots after getting their vaccines.
