:Turns out that the vaccine has only limited approval -- only six months of safety studies and *no* efficacy studies. Yeah, right, I want to shoot that into my healthy animal.

NO efficacy studies? This really gripes me! We can test eyeshadow on animals for OUR benefit, but we cannot do efficacy studies on a new vaccine that benefits the animals themselves?

Sometimes I really do think the entire drug and biologic research and approval processes in this country are so hopelessly screwed up and corrupt that we'll never get good, unbiased science except by accident.
