The vaccine shortage

I'm sorry, I'm getting forgetful in my old age. Which diseases were cured & how many NEW vaccines can be associated with a socialist system again?
 
free markets cure only those who can pay. i seem to be reading awful lot during the election fever about us citizens who are using canada to get drugs that are highly priced in the states. in fact, i'm sure i got 18 junk emails to my hotmail account this morning about how i can:get:cheep;pharmidesin;canada:;TODAY!

note, the uk also relied on the chiron vaccine but we stockpiled some for the winter and with sensible use will be able cover the most vulnerable. why wasn't your gubmint doing that? if your free market pharmacy is so good why troll over to the uk to buy it if our socialist sytem creates no medical advances? outsourcing my arse, we're just cheaper becuase we're not having the shit sued out of us.

Which is why you can't fill volumes with your medical advances. Governments waste. Free markets cure.

Hey Numbnuts. I'm only gonna say this once. McGill University. Look it up and then come back and tell us about the medical volumes we can't fill.

The American company provided enough vaccine to cover 3% more than every dose given in 1998. This is a media fed frenzy over nothing. Our needy, as always, are covered. Our lawyers, especially the (D)VP nominee are the problem.

Now Prof, you know as well as we do that Americans invented everything and do everything better than anyone else. Especially our poor hose-head northern neighbors. Just read our history books. :rolleyes:

:rofl:

Here you go
 
Look around you. Telephone...American. Lightbulb...American. Refrigerator...American. Car...American. Computer....

Americans aren't better at what we do. Americans are free to do it. Canada used to be free. Then somebody saw a way to suck up tax dollars & redistribute them. The UK, Europe in general, are freer than they once were but still they aren't the US. Free marktes solve the problem. Governments overspend & overregulate, tying the hands of those that can.

OHMIGAWD!!! :rofl2: The sad thing is you actually believe that!!!! *gash**choke**wheeze*


Didya ever stop to look up the nationalities of the people who invented all that?

First electonic digital computer : Built by JOHN VINCENT ATANASOFF was born on 4 October 1903 a few miles west of Hamilton, New York. His father was a Bulgarian immigrant named Ivan Atanasov. His last name was changed to Atanasoff by immigration officials at Ellis Island when he arrived with an uncle in 1889, and later on, his first name was changed to John.

First IC automobile was built by : Karl Benz (Carl Benz)
In 1885, German mechanical engineer, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. On January 29, 1886, Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car. It was a three-wheeler; Benz built his first four-wheeled car in 1891. Benz & Company, the company started by the inventor, became the world's largest manufacturer of automobiles by 1900.


First telephone was built by Alexander Graham Bell , born in 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He moved to Ontario, and then to the United States, settling in Boston, before beginning his career as an inventor


Shall I continue to beat you over the head with a stupid stick?
 
Look at the last paragraph. They weren't in Bulgaria or Scotland were they?
 
My Gawd, Gonz. You're right!!! That they were standing on US dirt must have made all the difference!!!
 
Even though humans have known for centuries that keeping food cold will preserve it, the only way they had to keep it that way was to pack it in natural ice or snow. At some point, perhaps in fourteenth century China or seventeenth century Italy, it was discovered that the evaporation of brine (salt water) absorbed heat and therefore a container placed in brine would stay cold.
During the nineteenth century, numerous experimental devices were developed in an effort to achieve practical artificial refrigeration. Compressed ether machines were built in Pennsylvania by Oliver Evans in 1805 and in Australia by James Harrison in 1855, and Dr. John Gorrie in Florida built an expanding-air cooling machine in 1844.

The first significant step toward success in the quest for a practical refrigeration system was made by Ferdinand Carre in France who devised a system whereby a refrigerants volatile liquid such as ammonia was circulated by a compressor around the container to be kept cold. In 1874, Raoul Pictet of Switzerland designed a similar compressor system using sulfur dioxide instead of ammonia as the refrigerant. His machine was later used to create the world’s first artificial skating rink in London. Although Carre’s machine was the first to find a practical commercial application, it proved to be cumbersome and immobile. Specifically, it didn't meet the needs of shippers who wished to transport perishables. The first practical and portable compressor refrigeration machine was built in Munich in 1873 by Karl von Linde. In his early models he used methyl ether, which is very explosive, but changed to an ammonia cycle in 1876.
Meanwhile, Carre continued to refine his invention, and in 1877 he designed a system for the Paraguay, the world’s first refrigerated ship, which was used to transport frozen meat from Argentina to France.
At this time, restaurants and homes had "ice boxes," which had an insulated compartment for ice and another for food. The ice was replaced periodically by purchasing blocks from the "iceman," whose wagon was a common sight on the streets of towns and cities.

A number of other competing machines quickly appeared, but in 1918 Kelvinator marketed a much more practical home refrigerator. The first refrigerator, as opposed to the simple ice box, designed for home use was the Domelre, which was manufactured in Chicago in 1913. Frigidaire brand's roots date back to the invention of the first self-container refrigerator for household use by Alfred Mellowes in 1915. The "Guardian Frigerator" as Mr. Mellowes called it, was purchased by General Motors Corporation in 1918 and the name was changed to Frigidaire.

Kelvinator began as the Leonard Refrigerator Company in 1881. The company grew to be a leader in wooden ice box cabinets and in 1914 developed its first household mechanical refrigerators under the name "Electro-Automatic Refrigerating Company." The company changed its name to the Kelvinator Company soon after, and by 1923, held 80 percent of the market for electric refrigerators.

Gibson's brand history goes back to the days of handcrafted cabinet making for iceboxes. In 1932, the company, then owned by Frank Gibson, manufactured its own line of refrigerators.

The first built-in refrigerator is launched by Electrolux in 1930. A compact product for the kitchenette in the small, modern apartments of the time. The next year they produce the first air-cooled refrigerator and begin vacuum cleaner production in Old Greenwich, Connecticut.

The familiar dual temperature refrigerator in use today, with one section for frozen food and a second for chilled food, was introduced into mass production by General Electric in 1939.

Hey, fuck it. America has done nothing to improve your lives. We're nothing more than a giant child sucking off the tit of humankind. Had we not been here you'd all be right where you are, doing what you do, using the same tools & having the same luxuries. Nope, America is nothing in the annals of history.

Just imagine how much better a Yemeni air conditioner would be compared to a Czech made one. :rolleyes:
 
no, that's not true...but you're exactly the fucking same as everyone else, except that when we do stuff, we don't go all flag waving freak about it.

aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway. This flu shot thing has less to do with socialism and Hilary Clinton than it does with an obvious major flaw in how things are run down there, whatever that flaw may be.

You're words, not mine Chubbnuts. If noone else has done anything for the world lately, why are US tour operators organizing tourgroups to Canada, "Vaccine shot included in the price"? Oh, and the vaccine shot ... is still at a lower cost than if they'd been able to get it at home.
