Clearly, ... he should have used his time machine to go back in time to make sure the vaccine wasn't contaminated.

WHAT WAS HE THINKING??????

I'm sure if skerry were president he would use his time machine more productively.

I like how Kerry says he dosent want to "Outsource" but when it comes to drugs it's OK to get stuff from Canada

The flu vaccine shortage is looking more like John Edwards fault. US companies no longer produce the vaccine because they are worried about being sued by lawyaers.

I've never had a flu shot.
that said, it should scare the shit out of everyone here that a vaccine as important as this would be made in any other country BUT this one. blame Bush, Blame clinton, hell blame them all.

you'd think with all the research money and gov't handouts we pour into the pharma. companies right here in the good ole US of A, they would step right up to help protect us Americans, but naaaaaa, no money in that for them.

is there?

And thanks to the Kilntons, there are profit caps for pharmaceutical companies producing flu vaccines. It has become "not worth the effort" to many companies to make a vaccine at cost. So, it gets outsourced and you get contaminated vaccines.

It's the Klinton's fault. Do you know why you never hear them boasting about that legislation? Because it was a complete failure.

It must be Bush's fault that Clinton's Socialism didn't work.

Actually, in the FREE MARKET it is not worth it for private companies to make flu vaccines, because the risk is WAY to high.
