Hillary's Vaccine Shortage

Everyone knows America's vaccine industry is in serious trouble, with an ever dwindling number of producers and recent severe vaccine shortages. What everyone also should know is that the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine has now pinned much of the blame on the government vaccine-buying program promoted by former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The panel of doctors and economists issuing a report on vaccines last week identified as a fundamental cause of the problem the fact that the government purchases 55 percent of the childhood vaccine market at forced discount prices. The result has been "declining financial incentives to develop and produce vaccines."

Socialized medicine = shortage

Think about this for a minute... Why is this getting ZERO play in the media? I really would love to know why Kerry's asinine accusations regarding the flu vaccine shortage gets reported to death, and anything that ties this thing to the Democrats is completely ignored. It makes me hopping mad that the media can be so openly treacherous. After all, who is going to question THEM? They themselves of course. The media is corrupt.

The MSM knows the truth about this as does Kerry...hypocrytical SOB's!!!!!!!!

[television is just wrong]

the government involvement always causes shortages and screws everything up.
