Anthrax Vaccine Contract Voided, Thwarting Administration

Oh, for Pete's sake! There is not going to be another anthrax attack unless it is launched by the same people who launched the first one. (No, not Al Qaeda)

Think a little closer to home.

If this is thwarting the administration, it is thwarting their war and security profiteering.

Anthrax Vaccine Contract Voided, Thwarting Administration - washingtonpost.com:

Federal health officials yesterday scuttled the largest piece of the Bush administration's two-year program to counter bioterrorism, canceling an $877.5 million contract with VaxGen to develop an anthrax vaccine after the company missed a deadline to begin human testing.

The decision, delivered in a one-page letter, ends a troubled effort by the small California firm that has come to symbolize the failures of the government's ambitious $5.6 billion Project BioShield. The termination occurred on the same day President Bush signed legislation attempting to salvage the program by reorganizing its management and pumping more money into firms doing the work.
