I was just talking to a friend who was in Iraq and he told me that the VA has another elephant in the room that they are dodging. Seems that mefloquine, brand name Larium, was used as a malaria preventive drug since the late 80’s. It was discontinued just a few years ago but was given to troops in Africa, Asia, Pacific regions,etc. where malaria is prevalent. It causes a LOT of side effects, and they can remain for years. Psychalogical, tremors, balance, tinnitus, etc. There have been limited studies, but the VA uses the excuse of Sgt. Schultz “I Know nothing”. https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/veterans-allege-devastating-side-effects-from-anti-malaria-drug-they-were-ordered-to-take/65-547252165 Kinda has a smell like Agent Orange doesn’t it?
