Mandatory H1N1 Vaccine For NY Health Workers Suspended

lunatick writes "The controversial mandatory swine flu vaccine for health care workers in NY has been suspended. While the reason for the suspension was stated as a shortage of the vaccine, a connection was found showing state Health Commissioner Richard F. Daines, M.D. and/or his wife may directly profit from the sale of the vaccine. Within hours of that connection being questioned on a radio show and the podcast being distributed, the announcement was made suspending the order. The health care community of NYS is petitioning the State Attorney general to investigate the connection."

    Thanks for the clarification. I was horrified to think that chewable H1N1 vaccine was suspended.

    We've been seeing tons and tons of articles like this recently on slashdot. There's a consistent anti-vaccine slant on all of them. I'm guessing that there's some small group of antivaccine crazies who are active on the firehose, and they consistently vote up each other's stories.

    You got it, man. It's a conspiracy!

    attention: this post may contain excessive levels of irony.

    It's not like polio ever paralyzed anyone.
