FROM THE RADIO

Clinical trials? We don’t need no stinking clinical trials: “It's possible the government will begin a public [swine flu] vaccination campaign before all of the work of the trials is complete, Dr. Anne Schuchat has said. She oversees the flu vaccination programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”

On one hand, the government doesn’t need to complete clinical trials to inject you with an unproven H1N1 (swine) flu vaccine. On the other hand, the government can prevent you from an alternative (i.e., unapproved) treatment even in the face of debilitating pain or certain death.

Makes all kinds of sense, doesn’t it?
