The federal government permitted monopolization of vaccine supply during Clinton-Gore. Only White House intervention can overturn the current patent and pidgeon-hole strategy of the vaccine companies (especially Wyeth Pharmaceuticals). Wyeth not only has Small Pox vaccine monopolized, but they have other vaccine monopolies also.
The CDC, FDA, and Dept. of Commerce-Patent & Trademark Offices need to collaborate to review all patent rights related to vaccines.
