They said, “The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) continue to review all relevant scientific literature on mefloquine to ensure our policy remains current.”
Clearly they didn't, because as was mentioned in the meeting that we had with our top bureaucrats, they weren't aware of the Australian report.
They added that “Antimalarial medication is recommended when CAF personnel deploy to areas where there is a concern for contracting malaria.”
They named some countries. Afghanistan isn't on this list. It's a desert country, and our armed forces were required to take it there. Does that make sense to you? Just a yes or no.
