I floated a similar concept past my wife (med school) on whether the drug companies were pushing bird flu as a scare to sell the shot.

She said they've run out of whatever it is they use to make it (hey - I'm good with numbers, not science) so it is unlikely. She also said all the surgeons at the hospital in which she is being taught at the moment were having discussions about making sure they got their hands on some of the dwindling supply of the shot (they would pay for it).

Hypocratic oath (sp?) my ass...
