| Scott Gottlieb, M.D., has examined the swine flu vaccine shortage in light of President Obama's declaration that the outbreak is a national emergency. While the Obama administration blames the vaccine shortage on manufacturing delays, Gottlieb writes in the Wall Street Journal that "production issues only explain part of the shortfall. Also to blame are a series of policy decisions that reflect our extreme caution when it comes to these products." He outlines how U.S. policies regarding vaccines have made production slower and limited output, in contrast with European policies.
