Cheney Lies about the Vaccine Shortage - and the Media (ever Contemptuous of the Public's Right to Know) Disseminates the Lie
Did ANYONE in the media every take Jounalism 101? If AP's Jennifer Bundy had, it might have occurred to her fact-check the sweeping statement by Dick Cheney that the vaccine shortage is due to "lawsuit worries" by the drug cos. A two-minute google or Altavista search would have revealed that vaccines are one area where drugmakers have few if ANY lawsuit worries:
US Code: Title 42.300aa-23 makes sure that liability in cases of vaccine injury or death is limited or nonexistent: See the Cornell Law school file:

Dick Cheney is a bald-faced liar, a miserable excuse for a human being who places corporate profits far above human life, health, and welfare.
