Last year, a measure that would have protected Eli Lilly & Co. from lawsuits involving a mercury-based preservative in many childhood vaccines was quietly attached to legislation establishing the Department of Homeland Security-but a furious outcry led to its repeal two months later. Now it's been coupled to a bill that would-finally-set up a compensation program for health care workers who suffer serious side effects from smallpox vaccines.
