Every flu shot going into American arms will come from a French company
". . . there is one (company) left: Aventis Pasteur. Every flu shot that goes into an American arm this season will come from the French company's plant in the northeast Pennsylvania town of Swiftwater."

Isn't it ironic that the only company left standing is A FRENCH COMPANY?!! The one country that Bush and his cronies would have us demonize for dissing them on their dirty war . . .

2. #1 health care system
in the world. A public/private health care system. Add that to your LTTE's.

And this is just too funny, the French save thousands of Americans from flu.

5. Maybe...
All those good, god-fearing, froggie-bashing, patriotic Americans will decline to get flu shots then. Then maybe all those good, god-fearing, froggie-bashing, patriotic Americans will get sick and be out of our hair for a few weeks.

One can hope anyway.

Nah. Self-interest overrides even the most twisted principles.

Wouldn't want them to taint their godly bodies with smelly French vaccines.

7. Not quite accurate, but powerful nonetheless...
Some Americans crossing the border into Canada for shots will get Canadian made vaccinations. Minor point, but we so often get overlooked :)
