More blues for Tony "Poodle"
More blues for Tony "Poodle" Blair:
Britain 'bought wrong Smallpox vaccine'It has been discovered that the British government, in its attempts to protect the British public from a (Islamist) terrorist attack of smallpox, has purchased the Lister vaccine for its citizens, which is an ineffective innoculation against the "battle-strain" type of smallpox that Iraq is believed to have developed.Uh-oh.
Let's hope our government hasn't made the same mistake!
And when are we poor, susceptible Americans going to be able to get the smallpox vaccines our gov'mint bought?
It will be interesting to see whether the British go to the expense to get the *right* vaccines or whether they play down the threat of the Iraqi strain and just call the program off.
