There is virtually no difference in the way the vaccines are produced compared to the seasonal vaccines. Even MD's can be uninformed and should take the time to educate themselves with the literature. One should be careful about dissing the vaccine so early in the flu season. Especially when one travels so much and has above average exposure (like in plane cabins with recirculated air!). BTW, love your podcast with AH. Good luck!! Mr. Dvorak,

Excerpt:

For two and a half years The Market Ticker has pointed out the foibles of The Fed and other claims of “help” for the economy – when the prescription for “help” is just an extension of the same failed policies that created the mess in the first place.

But now we are starting to see this show up in the so-called “mainstream media”, with the latest being The Wall Street Journal:

It takes similar reasoning to reconcile the elation felt across America every time the stock market rises—partially replenishing personal investment portfolios and 401(k) retirement plans—with the uneasy feeling that we are being set up for yet another big financial disappointment. We dare to hope that the economy is growing solidly once more, that the Federal Reserve has superior knowledge about providing liquidity, and that the U.S. Treasury knows what it’s doing by guaranteeing money market-fund assets.

But what if the Fed’s efforts to stoke a recovery are merely creating asset bubbles in equities and elsewhere? What if government guarantees—explicit and implicit—are encouraging high-risk investment behavior rather than restoring conditions for normal market returns?

Well they did it for a majority of voters, so why wouldn't they try it again, this time on investors? Then again, they will probably need a new slogan, "hope and change" is already been used up. “Is the Government Trying to Hoodwink Investors?”
