Swine Flu Vaccine

I DO think the government is on this. Have heard of several FDA-funded university studies on effectiveness of vaccines. In fact, I'd say the Fed's responded unusually well. Generally the FDA brain donors get plenty of rest. In the 50s (I think) Harvard's Hans Zinsser wrote "Rats, Lice, and History," which predicted the resistant strains that wonder drugs would produce and cautioned against overuse. Advice ignored, and they, plus the abolition of DDT, account for a great deal of trouble. There's another problem: the postwar idea of "humanizing" hospitals. Instead of tile rooms with Venetian blinds scrubbed down with Hexol every day, why shouldn't patients and staff enjoy lovely carpeting, drapes, upholstered chairs, etc? Nice incubators..
