The FDA Goes With Hat in Hand to Congress over the Flu Shot Shortage

It's been a bad year for the FDA when it comes to Congress. They've had to hand your hired hands on the Hill a bunch of materials showing they did their job overseeing the troubled flu vaccine factory the British shut down -- leaving the US with a flu shot shortage.

The FDA's caught flack from Congress already for trying to supress information about the heart attack link to arthritis drug Vioxx and censoring info on links between antidepressants and teen suicides.

Congress asked for a lot of paperwork on the vaccine issue. Must not trust them on the flu shot oversight for some strange reason. (LAT)
