Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc.  has just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine material to medical distributors in 18 countries. The "mistake, if you can call it that, was discovered by the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. The World Health Organization was alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened?

Another influenza scare and should there be a pandemic, something that is far from certain, the CDC will begin working on a vaccine that history tells us will not work.
