Flu Vaccine Producer Cleared to Resume Operations
For those of you who followed the flu vaccine crisis of last autumn, Chiron, the company whose U.K. manufacturing facility was shut down by regulators due to concerns over contamination, has been given clearance to resume operations. Just in time for the flu season to have passed.
In the end, the U.S. government “guidelines” (which of course turned out to be rules) resulted in a severe misdeployment and waste of what vaccine was available. The government’s overreactive intervention ended up worsening the shortage, in a sad farce that I dubbed “Keynesian vaccination policy.”
Let’s hope the politicians and health-o-crats let this sad episode pass into memory without any long-term interventionist damage to our vaccine supply (i.e., our vaccine market).
