So if the flu shot shortage is the result of a simple "manufacturing error" at a factory in England, as the bush administration says, why is the US the only country with a flu shot shortage?
That's right. The World Health Organization isn't aware of another shortage like this. It's because other countries actually prepare for problems like this. They plan. They buy vaccines from several sources -- just in case something like this happens.
The bush administration knew that this factory had problems in the past. But they did nothing about it. They bought about half of their vaccines from one company. Now thousands more americans will have an illness this year that was completely preventable. Statistics show 36,000 people die from influenza in the US each year. How many more will it be this year? I'm serious. There are lives at stake here, and this administration is responsible.
This administration says they're protecting you from the wolves of terrorism. They say weakness attracts those who would hurt us. But they can't even protect us from the flu. Apparently you have to die in a terrorist attack for this administration to care.
Folks, incompetence IS weakness. Denial IS weakness.
