How’d that work out?
About a quarter of the swine flu vaccine produced for the U.S. public has expired — meaning that a whopping 40 million doses worth about $260 million are being written off as trash.
About 30 million more doses will expire later and may go unused, according to one government estimate. If all that vaccine expires, more than 43 percent of the supply for the U.S. public will have gone to waste.
So, adding it all up, we will approach nearly $500 million billion (whoops. I was thinking of writing half a billion) in wasted vaccine. One of the reasons?
Swine flu turned out not to be as deadly as was first feared. About 12,000 deaths have been attributed to it — or roughly a third of the estimated annual deaths from seasonal flu.
If the media and government had listened to actual doctors, they might have learned that the Swine Flu was rather benign, it was just hitting at an abnormal time for the flu.
Good thing the government rarely runs like this, otherwise, ObamaCare might be in trouble /sarcasm off.
