About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Flu:  Key Problems
  • High risk populations need vaccines.
  • The market for flu vaccines is unstable and unpredictable.
  • The FDA relies on companies to provide vaccines, but may not be monitoring those companies sufficiently.
  • The federal government is aware of the problems associated with the flu vaccine market, but has no long-term plan for addressing these problems.
  • When a vaccine shortage does occur, there has been a lack of federal coordination to act.
  • The US needs a more competitive flu vaccine production market.
