If vaccine manufacturing capacity were switched from the standard flu to swine flu, that could create a shortfall in normal flu vaccine, potentially leading to needless deaths should the A/H1N1 swine flu end up petering out on its own.

I guess it’s a fitting setting for Kanye to pick up a brush and paint a portrait of Hilson as Cleopatra, which manages to look like neither. Needless to say, fine art isn’t the currency of a hip-hop video, and Kanye’s Da Vinci act soon ends. What follows is some semblance of plot. Kanye broods, raves, and rants about Hilson’s new boo (Ne-Yo) and finally engages said boyfriend...
