Flu Symptoms

A hospital that had no flu vaccine handed out chicken soup and Kleenex instead.

In the wake of 9/11, we've been afraid of terrorists using WMDs in an attack on our soil. We've been assured that we're safe from a biological attack. But the FDA may have dropped the ball on the sudden halving of flu vaccine this year. Congress is looking into that.

Without enough vaccine, the flu will llikely kill more people this year -- as it does every year -- that the attacks on 9/11. Roughly 36,000 people die each year from the flu. Fewer than 3,000 died from the 9/11 attacks.

And President Bush, long opposed to the idea of reimporting drugs made in the USA from Canada, because he claims they're unsafe is says in the final debate he's willing to import flu vaccine from Canadian drug makers.
