| The purchase of anthrax vaccine comes as the group which yesterday claimed it carried out the Madrid bombing vowed to bring a “black wind of death” to the US.
Within two years America will have enough anthrax vaccine to immunise every person in the New York and Washington areas. Contracts were won by VaxGen of Brisbane, California, and Avecia Ltd, based in Manchester. Initially they will make enough vaccine for two million people and then bid for larger contracts. The larger contracts would mean making 75 million doses – enough to vaccinate at least 25 million people, nearly a tenth of the American population. It will cost the US at least £500 million. |
Over the course of two years. 10% of the population.
Stupid.
That money would be better spent on trying to prevent an attack.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
