Clever way to silence dissent!
From the cover story of today's Sunday Times:
MEMBERS of Britain’s elite have been selected as priority cases to receive scarce pills and vaccinations at the taxpayers’ expense if the country is hit by a deadly bird flu outbreak.
Although senior government ministers would be among the high-priority cases, the department said this weekend that it had not decided whether to include opposition politicians.
Is this a joke?
Can you imagine the Bush administration announcing that only Republicans could get Bird Flu vaccine?
