Liable to Infection Flu vaccine in short supply partly because of trial lawyers and 'tort tax' Decem

The recent flu epidemic has brought to the fore a serious public health concern: the vaccine shortage in America. As flu shots must be rationed by the only two manufacturers, many are left to wonder why our vaccines are in short supply.

Just wondering why president Bush fumbled over this grandslam waiting to happen. I mean c'mon this is Kerry's health care plan in action. This is the direct result of government meddling in the health care system AND trial lawyers...a double whammy...Geeez!!!!!

While true, it's the administration's responsibility to deal with things as they are, so it's doubtful that President Bush would pass the responsibility off in the way that was most politically expedient. Instead, he acted like a leader & was frank about a difficult challenge we all face together.

He's probably waiting for Herman Munster (or, gasp, Fluffy
Edwards) to dare bring it up. Meanwhile, the growing new
media outlets, including FR, are all over the story.

Meanwhile, if we have a rationing disaster like this during
the year when a 1918/Spanish-flu like virus reappears, we're
all mostly dead.

There is a flu epidemic now? I thought there was just a shortage of vaccines.

[Good.V.Evil]

No this is an article from last year. I thought it would be even more credible without shadow of the election on top of it.

Mercury, wasn't it or was that imunizations?

I read where they said they've isolated the Spanish flu strain & all I could think of was hoping they were very, very careful while they handled it.

shillarycare in action..she is the one most directly responsible for driving out of business the US vaccine makers. Her for the children vaccine scam is to blame along with the trial lawyers.
