Really LB, you link to a couple of hard Right entertainers to try to support your argument.

"Hard right entertainers?" My first link was to an article by a NYT reporter. My second was to a columnist. Michelle probably had Rush listed as a link on her blog. So I guess that is the "link" you are referring to. Quite a stretch.

The CIC buys enough vaccine-which they set the standards for-to keep the price low. The very fact that only two companies are in the business tells you that it is not very profitable.

The left in this country will never admit low markup is a major part of the problem. The Administration does not want to admit anything, due to the fact that the vaccine situation has blown up in their face.

I understand that this was the first year they purchased any significant amount of the vaccine.

Did you gag on that?

I believe the 5% is low.

Military Veterans, their spouses and children number near 100 million.

All active duty folks, and retired military and their families get govt purchased flu shots. All VA eligible Vets are offered flu shots. Flu shots are offered to Federal staff members at a large number of locations.
