I was just Diagnosed with Guillan Barre Disease from an Navy Air injection of Fluoride in 1966 when I was drafted. Air injections are extremely dangerous according to my Dr who is known worldwide. Fluoride is deadly poison, why was the Navy injecting recruits with a deadly poison?. I have suffered my entire life with numerous auto immune diseases, RSD, Reiters Syndrome, Brain Damage, Spine damage, cancer, tremors, and on and on. It took 61 years to find out what happened to me, I'm now 77 and just reported this to the VA
I have a website in development hoping to be ready by sept 2021 . If the VA cannot connect the dots maybe we can. Please visit hepcvetbuddy.org next month and “enlist” your hepatitis and service info. I hope this site will help.
in april 1977, age 17byrs old, received jet gun vaccines and again in sept 1977 prior to being stationed in Germany. In Feb 1978 was hospitalized for hepatitis unknown virus reported as nonA nonB. diagnose in 2003 for HCV. would love to get a forum to find the one before me and after me who recieved vaccines as they have genotype 2b as well. is their a forum page that hcv vets put in the times they were injected and the genotypes they have?
I remember getting the Flu vacc at Randolph Sir Force Base when my dad stationed there. It hurt like hell. 1970s.
how many men in navy boot camp got hep-c in 1965
I want to know what is the military doing about all of this my husband died leaving me with for kids to raise alone. Is there a law firm handling this issue
jetinfectors.com has information on the risks of military jet injections
I enlisted in 1967. At Ft Polk, I was shot 4-5, maybe 6 times with air guns. At Present I do have hepititus, a carrier but not contagious.
My husband took the medicine Harvoni... and it cured him..
Hi
This is an old thread started in 2010. If you would like to ask a question about hep c please go to the top right of the page and select the post a question link and ask away.
Are you seeking treatment with the recently approved meds? It is not that important how you got hep c the important ant thing is to be treated and cured the new meds make that possible
Good luck
Lynn
I have HepC which was Dias ousted in 1988 while in the Army. If I recall the vaccine air gun was used on me also when I joined in 1985.
I was in the Army 85-89 and HepC was discovered in 88.
I was in Fort Dix in 1976 and got the shot by air gun and came down with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and have Hep C with a life long battle with other neurological problems as well. 60 Minutes Segment in 1979 with Mike Wallace > https://youtu.be/8elE7Ct1jWw

I hear ya ceejay, you know all those old timers. Fit as a fiddle when you signed up. Then 20 or 40 more years of unknown illnesses that cant be definitively nailed down as the source of infection or whatever else that's ailing them. I know veterans with close to 15 different circumstances that could put them near a potential opinion. But to no avail. It only takes one. Thanks for the info. I hope they're taking care of ya.
Keeping on a lighter note, My experiences overall have led me to trust that my sharing on forums like these are taken in stride with the information that users seek while taking into consideration the plights of others as well. There is no doubt that the technology back then for giving mass injections was the norm. Older and wiser now the attitude of this new technology of sharing has its limitations also. I'm just an aging veteran with the ability to relate to the young folks that need not get all uppity about the overall statistics. The boomers can basically say that they caught it. Where? none of them know. Believe in the statistics try not to form a one-sided definite opinion of where. 3.2 million Americans are infected right now. 17,000 new cases are being found each year.Old timers that have Hep c fit into several categories. Each is their coping mechanism. But all of the definite considerations of where they contracted it are out the window after learning the multiple ways of doing so. Primarily after finding infected mothers during pregnancy could have did it. If you weren't an intervenes drug user, then you know that you caught it somewhere else. Blood transfusions before 1992, or some other way. Most can narrow it down to several rare occurrences but no definite answer. Thank you for letting this new technology help me relate to all, the potential of the new drug, that most can receive and be cured. Remember the people who were sick when we were growing up and realize that they died young of cirrhosis of the liver. Which was a common disease to die from back then for some types. Now in all reality it was most likely Hep c, the same disease that is being cured today.
OK plz quit reporting. Maybe a little depressed.
Sorry again, I still have a chest.
I know exactly where the polluted water well was or is. It was across from my quarters where I stayed for 3 months prior to being shipped out. The overall boot treatment was to **** in the smelly well. Then get hollered at for pissing in the water supply. Trust me it didn't smell like ****. Then pass the bravery test of drinking the well water. After all all it was your own **** right? 3 months, no ****.
After the first round we stood at attention in the hot sun & practically everyone had a line of blood dripping from the little swollen area where the muzzle contacts, even slight cuts. Some had medical reactions that were exposed like allergies or whatever. The recruits that passed out didn't graduate into Marines. Then round two. Even after becoming a Marine we would get nailed by the gun once in a while.

Have you filed an Appeal through a good, state certified Veterans Service Officer? You might have to work through the State or National office, BUT, since you are in Florida, your County Service Officer might be one of those that is really really knowledgeable and a bulldog or bulldogess at pursuing claims.
I did that job for approximately 30 years, in FL so I know whereof I speak.
Goof Luck and Blessings!

US Navy NTC Boot Camp Orlando FL. I went through 1972 got the auto injection Airgun. one and half year later in Guam was diagnosed at thge Naval Hospital with Hep. Back then they did not separate it just called it Hepatitis. Fast forward to today.. I can not get the VA to treat or any service connection.. deny deny deny.. Because of my service around drugs in SE ASIA (Vietnam) and the fact I got a tattoo, they use that excuse. You would think at some point some law firm would take this on as a class action suit and get all the HEP C veterans help they need, instead of denials and watching them die a slow death untreated.. Anyone hear of any veteran filing any law suit for this?
Proof of air gun transmission finally found 3/20/15. I sincerely hopes that this helps someone out there, Dee

I walked the double airgun line in Air Force basic in May of 1976. I was hospitalized both times.
The first was from my allergy to tetanus vaccines. We were told we were getting a DPT vaccine as well as another I cannot remember. I told my training sergeant of my tetanus vaccine issue and he told me to inform the medic. The medic said, "I'll tell you what you're allergic to", as he shot me with the gun. My arm swelled to body builder size and I had a fever. I was put in the hospital 2 days.
The second airgun shot was a combination flu/swine flu vaccine. I had a fever that evening that caused me to sweat like I was in a sauna. Again, I was hospitalized. This time for 3 days. It turns out that some guys got a possible deadly disorder of the nervous system called Guillain-Barre Syndrome. My immune system has been compromised since that injection almost 40 years ago.
Due to my weak immune system, I had an asthma attack at Homestead AFB about 6 months later. During my 4 year enlistment I got pneumonia twice, as well as contracting a new viral disease - genital Herpes. My research shows the former Homestead AFB to be some sort of toxic waste dump prior to the base being built there. It's on the federal "Superfund" cleanup list. Hell. we used to body surf in the drainage ditches when rained for a long time. That water was contaminated with NUMEROUS toxic substances we were never told about. That poisonous water got into our eyes, ears, nose, etc.
I've recently been diagnosed with asthma, severe obstructive/general sleep apnea, nerve damage on the entire right side of my body. My job required bending and reaching for long periods of time. My L5 vertebra had to have the top and bottom discs replaced in 2012, as they had been totally worn away. I had become weaker each year until a physical exam measured my height at 5' 10". Losing 1.5" of height told me my chronic back pain was more than just age. I've been referred to a disability attorney as all these issues are more than I can handle alone. I cannot be up and about more than 3 hours at a time. After that time, I MUST rest as the nerve damage has taken my energy away.
