Shots on the House

According to Wofford University economist, Timothy Terrell, one member of the CDC's committee which ultimately recommended that the Rotavirus vaccine be added to the Vaccines for Children program a) currently holds a patent on the vaccine, b) was paid a huge sum of cash by a large pharmaceutical company to develop the vaccine, and c) failed to recuse himself from voting on issues surrounding the vaccine. If THIS isn't an example of crony capitalism then I really don't know what to tell you...................................................................................And, no, I'm not against vaccines (though, yes, the efficacy of this one does appear dubious). I'm just against having people with financial interests being in the driver's seat relative to their approval, that's all.
