105 Meningitis Cases Tied To Tainted Drugs

American Voices • Opinion • ISSUE 48•41 • Oct 9, 2012

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed eight deaths from 105 total cases of meningitis in nine states, all stemming from contaminated vials of steroid painkillers distributed by the same Massachusetts company. What do you think?

“If only the drug companies weren’t so oppressively regulated, they might be able to afford anti-contamination technologies.”

“Nothing good ever came out of Massachusetts in a vial. Except that genuine Michael Dukakis sweat on eBay. Man, I wish I could afford that.”

“Wow, I didn’t know steroids were a form of vaccines or that meningitis was a form of autism!”
