SHORTAGE OF SWINE FLU VACCINE

Here we are once again approaching the flu season and once again we here that there is a shortage of flu vaccine. Now how is that possible? I mean this is America, the most bountiful and productive Country in the world. Of late we have witnessed people standing in long lines to be inoculated against this culprit, but who determines the recipients of this much needed medication. Who determines what neighborhoods are to be affected and how much of this vaccine is to be distributed where? Surely people of lesser means will be vastly affected by these decisions; and most probably in a negative way while those of considerable means have nothing to fear. The foregoing is central to the issue of HEALTH CARE REFORM. But in this medium we see clearly the issue of Life, Death and Money. It is also clear that MONEY is the overriding factor as to who lives and who dies. How long can we, as a Nation of alleged Moral Certitude propagate the laws of supply and demand to the determination of human life. How long can we, as a self-proclaimed Christian Nation; hold sway and remain mute as those of lesser means are left to fend for themselves in indefensible situations? Situations that could inevitably lead to DEATH through no fault of there own save lack of MONEY. All Things Considered. Madu
