Default Anthrax, and Opportunity!

Just heard a radio commercial in the D.C. area for a medical testing firm. Looking for veterans who have been given the vaccinations against anthrax. Apparently you can make up to $800. to take part in their research. Advertisement did not go into too much (or any, really) detail about what it would involve. Kind of worries me.
Anybody else heard this, or have any idea what the research is about?

It might be legit research, sponsored by government or academia.

But it might be some large law firm looking to build ammo for a class action lawsuit...might want to check on that before you participate, especially if you are still in the military in any capacity.

Thanks Rickair,
Had'nt thought of the law firm angle. Strange days. I'm still in the Guard. Had not thought of participating myself, just got the gerbil wheel in my head going a bit. Was not very fond of getting that regime done.
Hope the research is for something beneficial.

Similar add posted on a radio station in Wichita Falls, TX. From the brochure it looks like you need to donate from about 2 weeks after a shot to 42 days after a shot.
