Did Rush go back on the meds? He loves to blame everything on those 2, I guess he can't think of anything better to talk about.

There's a lot to blame.

Sadly, the story is true. And, I think your listening to Rush for all the wrong reasons.

It sounds like something they would have done. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and vote buying. I would like to know, if there is legistation/executive order, etc. to back up the claim.

Rush is full of it!!!! The vaccine makers had to destroy a few million doses of unsold vaccine last year and therefore, cut back this year.

Part of the problem is the fact that this year's vaccine is NOT formulated for this year's strain of the flu. To say nothing of the endless hype from the media........

As for Rush, after listening to the past few minutes, I find his commentary and treatment of the two women callers totally insufferable.

He's gotten a potty mouth and now objects to our objecting...typical dem ploy.

New Drugs Are Urged by Clinton

President Clinton met with the heads of four large pharmaceutical companies on Thursday, March 2, to discuss vaccine development. Clinton announced a measure that would establish a $1 billion tax credit over 10 years to be given to companies to cover the costs of economical vaccines for AIDS, tuberculosis, or malaria in the developing world. Also at the meeting, Merck & Co. said it would donate 5 million doses of hepatitis B vaccine, SmithKline Beecham agreed to continue a second phase of clinical tests for a malaria vaccine, American Home Products gave 10 million doses of Haemophilus influenza type-B vaccine, and Aventis Pharm donated 50 million doses of polio vaccine to five nations in Africa. Raymond Gilmartin, chairman, president, and CEO of Merck, noted that the White House plan is a means of "providing funding to the developing world to be able to develop the infrastructure, the healthcare delivery systems, as well as to be able to finance health programs within each of these countries."
