Gulf War Studies, PG Registry, CPG,WRIISC, and more - Invisible Hide and Seek
Gulf War Studies, PG Registry, CPG,WRIISC, and more - Invisible After 5 years of suggesting it, the AFIP Gulf War Tissue database is still a untapped gold mine of samples for researchers. All that is needed is to pay for the AFIP to provide a catalog. Again, all are aware and none step up.
Gulf War Studies, PG Registry, CPG,WRIISC, and more - Invisible The same can be said on the net as programs are hinted at, but getting something done they turns Invisible through loopholes.RAC, IOM, DHSD, WRIISC, and others are aware – but wont address publicly. The programs fail like WRIISC from this, at 58 participants nation wide in 3 years. Over things as simple as transportation to the East Coast.How do we find the vets, and bring them in.
