The current anthrax vaccine only neutralizes toxins. The same is true for a vaccine against tularemia, or rabbit fever, a bacterium that can cause fatal illness. With funding from the U.S. government, the University of Ume? in Sweden is trying to identify protective components of the tularemia bacterium and use them to develop a vaccine. And in Germany, scientists are developing a vaccine against botulism toxin. None of them...
...Good Day, Manana); in 1955 she composed songs for Disney's Lady and the Tramp and 36 years later won a suit for royalties on video sales of the film. A sultry jazz minimalist, Lee prevailed in the first age of rock with tunes that exuded steam (Fever), defiance (I Am Woman) and blithe anhedonia (Is That All There Is?).

...According to studies conducted in the 1960s, the vaccine will result in death for 1 or 2 people out of each million vaccinated. Between 15 and 52 of those million people will develop life-threatening reactions, including but not limited to high fever, rash and toxic reactions at the vaccination site. We are still using the vaccine developed in 1796; researchers are working on less risky ways to protect against smallpox, but for the time being this vaccination is the best line of defense we have...
