This is a company that comes under the scutiny of the UNITED STATES FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION. Where the fuck was the FDA in regulating our nations vaccines???? People WILL DIE. Thank you Mr. President.

1. If not for the Brits finding the trouble, this US Company would probably
have sent the contaminated vaccine to the states and let us be injected with it. Gotta make that profit, ya know.

2. Yes, it is. But it's factory is in Liverpool. An outsourcing company?
It's based in the U.S., with the factory and workers in England, and it primarily sells its product in the U.S.

Isn't that one of the definitions of outsourcing?

4. The FDA still regulates. This is outsourcing OUR VACCINES!!

Now it seems to me that terrorists might want to get 'inside' these types of companies. The major companies Merck, Lilly et al don't get into the vaccine biz cause it's not profitable. The FDA was alerted about this from Chiron in AUGUST!!!! http://chiron.com/investors/pressreleases/press_release100504.pdf
