Something rotten in Washington

I don't really know why I bother to read stories from the New York Times. It's so utterly left it is practically unreadable. Maybe its because in the paper I see proof of socialist downfalls that Ayn Rand writes about in her novels.

Even more crazy, is that I occaisonally read the opinion pieces in the newspaper, which is usually further left than the rest of the paper. Today, however, there is a real gem that states the truth about the vaccine situation.

To the Editor:

In your Oct. 23 editorial "Vaccine for Congress and the Bears," you write that "when this crisis is over, Congress ought to explore whether the federal government needs additional powers to mandate that limited amounts of vaccine be reserved for those who truly need it."

I view the problem differently. Congress needs to explore ways to ensure that the flu vaccine is available to anyone who wants it.

There's something rotten in Washington when the richest country in the world has to resort to rationing preventative health care.

There's something rotten in Washington... Not in the vaccine business making the vaccine, not in health clinics administering the vaccine, but in Washington.
