PROJECT BIOSHIELD DELAYED Tuesday, October 24, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com

 

After the anthrax attacks of 2001, the federal government launched Project

Bioshield to create a nationwide stockpile of vaccines in case of a large-scale

attack. The stockpile was scheduled to be created almost one year ago, but the

project has been delayed until at least 2008, according to the Associated Press.

 

The Department of Health and Human Services awarded a small biotech company

called VaxGen a contract for $877.5 million to develop the drugs using genetic

engineering. VaxGen was selected because the current vaccine for anthrax

requires six shots and VaxGen’s vaccine should only require three. Delivery of

the contract was set to be complete by November 2005. However, the drugs haven’t

been created. VaxGen has been struggling to solve technical issues with the drug

and has also been forced by the government to spend an additional $79 million in

expenses to prove that the vaccine is safe.

 

Critics of the deal argue that the government should have hired a larger company

that would be better suited to handling the responsibility of creating the

stockpile. However, most biotechnology companies have been unwilling to bid for

contracts with the Department of Health and Human Services because they are

considered small and costly by industry standards.

on surface..sounds like legislation our ancestors and country's founders

would have been and descendants will be, proud of..

 

a few random highlights....

1.) No legal recourse for victims

2.) No purchasing of " generics " allowed

3.) " Fast-track " ..like Fatherland UNSecurity

4.) Drug company dream...(hmmm...wonder if they can match Exxon Mobil)

5.) " SOLE AUTHORITY "

6.) QUARANTINE

WHAT the hell are DC's whoremaster's thinking???..THAT WE are STUPID??...Oh. I

almost forgot..... " WE " ARE!

 

" That's because this proposed legislation will strip Americans of the right to

a trial by jury if they are harmed by either an experimental or licensed drug or

vaccine they are forced by the government to take whenever federal health

officials declare a public health emergency.

 

This bill gives the HHS secretary the sole authority to decide if a drug

manufacturer violated laws that mandate drug safety, and it bans any citizen

from challenging the HHS head's decision in the civil court system. 7th

amendment be damned.

Big Pharma has been pushing for protection like this for several years. In this

millennium, the angst and sense of loss following 9/11 was manipulated

to produce similar legislative efforts designed to protect drug and vaccine

makers even if they manufactured products that were not properly tested,

nor clinically proven safe. "
