21 HOMELESS PEOPLE DIE AFTER BIRD FLU VACCINE TRIAL IN POLAND
Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution after a number of homeless people died following medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus.
That is freaky.
Thanks for the information on the bird flu vaccine. That was an intersting article!
We recently wrote an article (http://brainblogger.com/2008/07/04/ethical-obligations-of-health-care-workers-during-a-pandemic/) on pandemics at Brain Blogger (http://brainblogger.com/). Did you know that if a pandemic struck today it could result in 2 to 7.4 million deaths? So, how would the medical community react to this sort of outbreak? Would they would turn away patients in fear, and that lead be more death?
We would like to read your comments on our article. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kelly
