"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Where, Oh Where is the Vaccine? Chiron, the influenza vaccine producer responsible for last year's shortage of vaccine, has just been told they can ship three lots of vaccine. No wonder so many doctor haven't a clue when their allotments are coming in - neither the company nor the FDA knew if and when they'd be shipping.
The worst aspect is that the consumer - the doctors and clinics that order vaccine from the company - are kept in the dark. Don't want to hurt profits, after all. But, being evasive about its ability to deliver goods in the long run will harm the company. Who's going to want to pre-order with them in the future? Not me. posted by Sydney on
