Subject: $500 Million more for a Smallpox vacine ...

"...The US government is to allow drug firms to speed up safety trials in their search for a new smallpox vaccine as fresh evidence emerges that Washington is preparing itself for full-scale biological warfare.

Tommy Thompson, the US health secretary, asked Congress this week for $500m (£350m) to produce enough smallpox vaccine "so every American will be assured there is a dose with his or her name on it if it is needed".

This added to the previous order will bring the total spent on drugs SO FAR to $595 million and counting !

And now Smallpox
