Steady on."<br /><br />If Britain is really going ahead with their fast-track vaccination program -- and if the rest of the EU goes along -- expect a steady diet of dire reports on swine flu as a means to encourage the public to line up for their jabs.Punditahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09255618281071848583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9359747.post-38871605688407831222009-07-12T03:34:07.108-04:002009-07-12T03:34:07.108-04:00Thanks, Barnaby.
