What would happen if a new strain of the flu hit America this year - one that killed people like the flu in Stephen King's "The Stand"? Now pretend that the vaccine that is currently in shortage would protect people from this flu. Would we then be able to produce enough of the vaccine for the entire country? Or would we be holding lotteries to decide who lives and who dies? Maybe the old folks would not be allowed to get the vaccine because they have already lived a long life. Would only young healthy people be eligible for the vaccine?
With all of the technology that we have today, and the large drug companies that we have in this country, why can't enough vaccine be made? Do people pay to be vaccinated? Is it not worth the Drug companies time? If a batch of vaccine is contaminated, can't a new batch be made quickly?
