Doctors cannot develop or produce the most current vaccines. Siti Fadilah Supari, Indonesia's Health Minister, wants the WHO, World Health Organization to help Indonesia negotiates free pandemic flu, related supplies, shots, plants, etc. Indonesia officials apparently, believe they should be able to profit or at least protect their country from expensive drugs and vaccines in the event of a pandemic. Especially since it could likely start in Indonesia. Half of the H5N1 bird flu cases and deaths are in this country.
I think something creative should be worked out. The stakes are too high to let GREED be the determining factor in potentially saving millions of lives.
