Anger at MSPs’ priority for life-saving flu drug

Anger at MSPs’ priority for life-saving flu drug

Scottish ministers and their civil servants are set to be issued with the antiviral drug that will be used to combat the impending flu pandemic – ahead of children, pregnant women and the elderly.

The Sunday Herald can reveal that Jack McConnell’s colleagues in the Executive will be among the first workers providing "essential" services to be protected from a health threat that could kill up to 50,000 Scots.

News of the special treatment has angered opposition MSPs who believe that politicians should not be jumping the queue for vital treatments.

1. As far as I know, the two million doses in the US

will be reserved for politicians and the super rich.

The US is stockpiling fewer doses of Tamiflu than Finland.

They really do want to see us dead.
