Regulators discover contaminated children's vaccines

Dear Friend,

I hate to say it, but I have more bad news to report about children's vaccines. According to a published report, federal regulators spotted contaminated children's vaccines and other serious concerns when they inspected a Merck vaccine plant outside of Philadelphia.

In 30 separate inspection days between November and January, the regulators reported a staggering 49 areas of "concern," one of which included the contamination of bulk lots. Thirty separate days – and 49 areas of concern!? It's truly incredible.

In December, Merck recalled 1.2 million doses of one of their flu vaccines made by the same plant because of sterility problems found in October. And in another case they even quarantined an entire year's worth of suspected doses.

Naturally, Merck's PR machine is working overtime to fend off, deflect, and reassure. The company maintains that no contamination was found in finished vaccines (I don't buy it), and that the problems are being addressed.

"We are absolutely confident in the quality of our products," said John McCubbins, Merck's head of Global Vaccine Manufacturing who is in charge of the plant. How sad (or scary) is it that the head of Merck's global vaccine operations is also in charge of the plant that has the most problems? What does that say about the quality control of Merck's vaccines?

In spite of these findings, the FDA has not ordered Merck to stop production. And as for the CDC, that other powerful US government health agency? Well, one of their spokesmen said that the CDC was unaware of the problems with vaccines at the Merck plant.

You know what this means? Right: the FDA and the CDC – the two biggest health agencies in the U.S. government that are responsible for protecting the public from things like, for one, CONTAMINATED VACCINES, do not communicate with one another. I've already said it once, but let me say it again: how scary is that?
