An October 21 article in the Star-Ledger Washington Bureau by J. Scott Orr quoted ACSH's President Dr. Elizabeth Whelan:
Dr. Elizabeth Whelan, president of the American Council on Science and Health, a nonprofit consumer group, said she expects the flu vaccine issue to pass quickly from the nation's political consciousness.
"People are hysterical about getting something that many never even got before," she said of flu shots. "If it enters voters' minds at all, it should be the context of which candidate will provide better incentives for pharmaceutical companies to manufacture vaccines."
