"Vanderbilt Evaluating Frozen Smallpox Vaccine" Associated Press (www.ap.org) (06/24/02)
A Vanderbilt University study will explore whether frozen supplies of smallpox vaccine are still viable with and without dilution. The forgotten vaccines were recently located by Aventis Pasteur. Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices member Dr. William Schaffner feels that the Vanderbilt research is necessary to assess whether the United States has an adequate smallpox vaccine stash to defend itself against an epidemic. The project will be the first undertaken by the university with a National Institutes of Health bioterrorism grant. ALL INFORMATION, DATA, AND

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
