Kerry Ad Says Flu Vaccine Shortage Is Typical of Bush's Policy Blunders

[reason]

Somehow, I guess it's Bush's fault that this product is not available today.

"I ask healthy people not to take the vaccine!"

Spoken like the true dumbass he is.

Reason,

I suggest you read <u>The Great Infuenza</u> by John M. Barry. It chronicles the influenza pandemic of 1918 - 1920, and repeatedly points out that that particular strain was so deadly because it was an equal opportunity killer. Prior pandemics targeted the very young and very old.

So, why should healthy people get flu shots? Especially when one considers that there is no guarantee that the vaccine will target this year's strain of flu.
