Rules of supply/demand prove dangerous with flu

" More disturbing still is the apparent lack of coordination at the federal level to
quickly address the flu vaccine shortage. Neither the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration nor the Department of Health and
Human Services has yet mounted an adequate response.

Because flu vaccines are not nearly as profitable as some other drugs, the
pharmaceutical industry has little incentive to produce more than it expects to sell.
This year, the industry didn't make enough. The shameful truth is that shady
operators have been allowed to fill that gap by peddling lifesaving drugs to the
highest bidder."
