Baxter International

The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses.
And an official of the World Health Organization’s European operation said the body is closely monitoring the investigation into the events that took place at Baxter International’s research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.

But there seems to be no repercussions or hard feelings when industry oversteps the boundaries of morality and integrity and enters the arena of obscenity. Because, lo and behold, which company has been chosen to head up efforts, along with WHO, to produce a vaccine against the Mexican swine flu?

It was Baxter International

Wonder who owns stock in Baxter International? More of just the Chicago Way?

It shows an ambulance trying to pass cars that appear to be blocking it’s way. To me it was not very effective, even if I was of a mind to be swayed, which I am NOT. It was sponsored by AARP and was shown in Florida, not sure what network, but am thinking NBC

Great site!

Over at Atlas you should see the pics of all the anti-American protesters from several years ago. Disgusting!

That’s the full page ad they ran in USAToday, which I was dying over. The pics look like a gallery of crooks and thieves.

Here’s the link to the site with the three videos they already made. They paid to have them run on cable, and I have seen one run after MadCow shot her mouth off.

Besides Barry’s numbers tanking, as they were at 47 with Rasmussen yesterday, 48 today, look at this:

Forty-four percent (44%) of voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on health care. Forty-one percent (41%) trust the Democrats more. While those numbers are essentially a toss-up, they represent a significant shift in opinion. It’s the first time Republicans have held any advantage on health care in years of tracking the issue. In June, the Democrats held a ten-point advantage on health care.

But I for one believe that healthcare reform is necessary, something that’s worth pushing to the max and considering every pov and angle out there. We’re paying more than any other country in the world but leave behind a substantial number of our own citizens, some rural, some urban, some simply forgotten. We have a moral responsibility to take care of our own. I’m sorry but I earnestly believe that. We pride ourselves that we don’t leave our wounded soldiers in the dust. How can we do anything less for our own neighbors?

But we need to do it sensibly without bankrupting the country in the process and without the continuous political divisions. If we can put a man on the moon, we should be able to figure out healthcare reform, where desperately ill citizens are not left to fend for themsleves because they’ve lost employment or children suffer because they had the misfortune to be born into a poor family, or people are turned away for preexisting ailments.

Those conditions/decisions are immoral. This is America. We’re better than that.

But American citizens first and foremost, natural born and naturalized citizens. We have absolutely no agrument there.
