{Canada to order 50.4 million H1N1 vaccine doses}


Canada to order 50.4 million H1N1 vaccine doses

Have no fear.
It's here! It's here!
Shall we celebrate with a beer?

The H1N1 vaccine.
This season's worshiped queen.
Its benefits yet to be seen.

They say it's for the greater good.
They say that we should.

But some would disagree.
From vaccines, they flee.

Unwilling to assume the possible side effects.
Controversy, it erects.

50.4 million doses on order.
And that's just for our side of the border.

Big pharma, a hero?
Toasting their cash flow
With Veuve Cliquot.

Assuming no risk.
Despite shaking heads and a resounding, tisk tisk.

A win-win for them.
For their moral compass, it's hardly a problem.

Is it wrong for me to wait and see.
I wash my hands. I do the sleeve sneeze.
So please, oh please
Just let me be.
