1. There was a shortage of vaccines for two of my three babies (between 2001-2003). The supply eventually caught up. Two years ago there was a big flu scare, and kids around here would get the first dose and couldn't get the 2nd. (Kids get 2 small doses). So yes, I believe this scientist when he says we have a PROBLEM with vaccine production in the U.S.
2. My strong and healthy 19-year-old great-aunt died in 1918 of the influenza. Kind of hits close to home.
Yup. This story I keep hearing about the cities running out of food in 72 hours if the delivery trucks are stopped for any reason is worrysome.
I've heard a lot of Katrina 'stories' but, this is the first I've heard of the shortage of cold-storage trucks. We seem to be very 'thin' in many areas.
