...globe in about four months - and that was before widespread jet travel.) The global manufacturing capacity for flu vaccine is around 500 million doses. That means that a new pandemic could well run its course and kill millions before anyone could get their hands on a new vaccine. Everyone - rich and poor - would be left out. At best, a previously stockpiled vaccine made from the current strain of H5N1 could provide some partial immunity, but there will be no way of knowing until the pandemic hits...

A few people are stinking rich and the majority are below the poverty line. The people are being fed by the World Food Program - a third of us would be dead if it wasn't for the help that we're getting - but Mugabe is still berating the West.
