The flu vaccine shortage has people really freaked and angry. The SCLM is giving more and more play to it. The LA times has an op-ed
here today. Letters to the editor are harping on the hypocrisy of the FDA saying they're going to IMPORT flu vaccine from Canada, (but it's unsafe to import other drugs???), outsourcing our health care (half of the supply is manufactured in the UK where the British authorities shut down the plant causing the shortage.) CBS News had a big report last night. Google has over 1300 stories this morning dealing with some aspect of it.
I live in the Palm Springs California area. Lots and lots of seniors and they are PO'd over this. I wonder if this can't be used in an LTE campaign as one more example of BushCo mishandling the nation's health needs?
I know that the past week has provided us with an embarrassment of riches to use against Bush. But this one seems to have some strong resonance with people, at least the ones out here. Conversations at the checkout line inevitably start with "did you get your shot yet"? Friends of mine that live in 55+ parks told me that all anyone in talking about in the clubhouses is getting their shot. Americans are scared over this, and really annoyed that the government let this happen .
I was wondering if my fellow Kossacks have noticed if people are talking about this in their everyday encounters and if so, is there anyway to leverage it as one more indication of Bushco's horrible failure?
