FDA knew of flu shot problems by June '03
http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/index.php?page=national&story_id=111804b1_flu_chiron

The FDA opted not to take official action against Chiron - one of only two suppliers of flu shots to the USA - despite knowing for more than a year about major problems at the company's Liverpool, England, plant, according to FDA documents released yesterday.

Gee, I got an email from a right wing wacko last month saying it was John Edwards fault.

This administratioin dropped the ball again! What are the chances anyone will be held accountable?

1. Zero, Bush does not make mistakes, his administration does not make
...mistakes and to look inside their ranks is just a waste of time. John Edwards can be blamed and that's where the effort should be placed. Let him prove that it was not his fault.

2. You should dig up that email and do a reply to all
sending them the full text of this article.

3. When I orignially got that idiotic email I did reply to all with
the Snopes article refuting it.

Of course that did not stop that same RW nut from sending me the email about how many millions of dollars it would cost to provide secret service protection to Kerry and all his mansions, if he was elected. :eyes: I had to Snopes that one too.
