Initially, an act of fate struck: The virus grew half as quickly as normal flu, making vaccine yields lower and further narrowing the window to vaccinate children and stop the pandemic. Then several factors within our control compounded the problem, and the virus had time to spread. First, because of complex regulatory hurdles set by the Food & Drug Administration, companies chose not to use immune system boosters called adjuvants, which the rest of the world uses. Second, our FDA has for years made it too expensive and too complicated for vaccinemakers to use newer, more advanced and efficient methods of vaccine manufacturing. Current FDA regulations are so strict and regulators so timid that not even the polio vaccine or Tylenol would be approved today.

The same arguments about why pseudoscience and hysteria shouldn't determine health policy. For pete's sake- vaccinate!
