Lawyers, Guns and Money has the KEY TO CRACKING DUBYA. The Bush Administration's negligence of Flu Vaccine production is not just an annoyance for the elderly. It shows that Bush has dropped our guard against Bioweapon Terrorists!
I heard on NPR that the Kerry campaign is spinning the flu shot crisis as directly attributable to the outsourcing of flu vaccine production overseas, while the Bush campaign is blaming the high cost of liability insurance. Both sides have a point but are missing the bigger picture, which (surprise) makes the Bush administration look criminally negligent. America has had a flu season every year since, well, probably since we've been a country. We've had over 6 months to make a vaccine against this particular viral strain. And yet, we've run short. Imagine (drum roll) if this had been anthrax, VEE, or smallpox? Let's assume the evildoers gave us 6 months notice: "Hey, we're going to aerosolize some anthrax over all your major cities and airports, starting October 20th." Would it be OK for the Bush administration to claim that vaccines weren't available because the naughty Democrats were stalling tort reform?
