HHS admits overstating flu-vaccine availability
Quote:
Two top officials at the Department of Health and Human Services acknowledged to a congressional panel Wednesday that the government had overpromised and made poor judgments on vaccination production against the current H1N1 flu pandemic.
The government's initial plan was to have 160 million doses available in October; the actual production at month's end was barely 15 percent of that -- 24.8 million doses.
"In hindsight, it's clear we should have been more skeptical," Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said of the government's consistently overstated estimates on the amount of vaccine that would be ready for public distribution.

Well I'm not shocked. The government tends to do this with everything. And they think they can manage health care. Folks, we are in trouble if they get it passed.
