That's bullroar...this is not supposed to be a bad flu year and the only
people who need flu shots are the infirm...people are making much more out
of this than what it is....if you have bad lungs to begin with, or a serious
heart condition, or a depleted immune system, then you might have something
to worry about...other than that, you'll get an upper respiratory viral
infection (that's spelled G-O-L-D) and in a week to 10 days it will be over.
Frink fluid, take zinc, and don;t sneeze on your neighbor. And
remember...WASHING YOUR HANDS IS THE BERY BESY PREVENTATIVE FOR
INFLUENZAit beats the shot 100 to 1.

And, Bush knew about the problem years ago, and he did NOTHING. Now,
potentially more people will die from flu then died in the entire Vietnam
war.

"The government could — and should — prevent subsequent shortages by
buying a certain amount of vaccine each year", what heresy is this?

Next thing you'll want the government to fund and operate a health care
system, you'll become like the rest of the industrialized world where
everyone can get essential care without going broke. Of course you might
have to wait for a bit to get that non life threatening rhinoplasty.
