[Marxism] the drug cartel II: making vaccines w/o people



Hey Les,

You are probably aware that the technology isn't new... Insulin has been
produced by g.m. bacteria for years. There are other old examples.

last month we discussed the shortage of flu vaccine in the US and how drug
companies had opted out of the vaccine production business due to low profit
potential.

now that a compmany using "old" technology has failed to deliver this years
dose of drugs, vaccine shortages and fear exist, the venture capital spigot
flows again.

Protein Sciences Corp, a company nearby me in CT has been developing a
vaccine
production scheme where the "incubator" is living cells rather than eggs.
while it holds the promise for speedier development of vaccines without the
problems like occured in the recent disruption, another feature is sure to
attract investors. from the Washington Post:
