The FDA knowing approved a vaccine for the wrong Flu strain!

It's all about risk. The FDA are not going to approve a vaccine if the potential hazards outweigh the potential benefits. In this case of using the dog kidney, there are just too many unknowns. And believe me, the FDA do not like taking any risks, let alone unnecessary ones.

...the chances are that the FDA have told them to go away and gather more information and evidence regarding this method of manufacture for further assessment.

Provost, I am not an expert here. But their best expert said the risk was only remote, but that making the wrong vaccine was certain to cause harm. This controversy smacks of the extreme risk adversion of some countries concerning genetically altered (improved) corn and the like.
That's odd, I never noticed the flu "ravaging the country". This is an example of irresponsible journalism (though I've tuned it out), folks, that plus the hypochondriacs are working double time this year.
Flu happens. Every winter it comes back around, and there's never exactly a time where the health departments are just drowning in vaccines, either. And every time, there's a group (this year larger than normal) of raging panic artists and a few irresponsible journalists that take a normal illness and turn it into the end of humanity.
But their best expert said the risk was only remote,
And the other 17 ones apparently said it wasn't remote. You know what? If they DID approve that, and millions of people got infected by some disastrous failure because of it, people (the same hypochondriacs) would be whining about that too. You can't make everyone happy, and you can't make some people happy at all.

Remember that company that said it developed genetically altered corn that made men sterile? THAT's why people fear GM foods. Now, do you know how disastrous it would be if that corn got crossbred with regular corn? The panic artists would start whining about that too. It's either "They won't let us improve corn" or "They let us **** up humanity", there's no way to please them.
uggh, scary article. As if they have the right to stop people from overpopulating. Which is not happening to any great extent anyways. In fact, some population are in danger of underpopulation.
