Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Tom, The State of Michigan opened its first laboratory to manufacture vaccines and antibodies in Lansing in 1925, 75 years ago, receiving license #99 to manufacture biological medications. On July 7, 1998, the State of Michigan approved the sale of the United States' only licensed manufacturer of anthrax vaccine to a for-profit company. The organization known as the Michigan Biologic Products Institute (MBPI) was sold effective September 5, 1998 to become BioPort Corporation. The facility's license is now listed as license #1260, with the sale of MBPI to BioPort Corporation. BioPort, whose headquarters remain in Lansing, Michigan, is owned by multiple shareholders. The two main companies that make up BioPort are Intervac, headed by Crowe and Faud El-Hibri, and Michigan Biologic Products Inc., which is made up of seven managers from the era when the State of Michigan owned the plant, headed by Myers. The former state employees were specifically permitted by the Michigan State Legislature to bid on the sale. The legislators hoped that retaining local management as investors would help keep the plant and its 174 jobs in Michigan. Admiral Crowe, Jr., is a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the U.S. ambassador to Britain until 1997. Fuad El-Hibri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent, transformed a British government plant for vaccine production into a successful private venture. As Admiral Crowe testified to the U.S. Congress in October 1999, the government's decision to vaccinate the Armed Forces was made after several years of internal analysis that culminated in a December 1997 decision. These events occurred well before the State of Michigan chose to sell its vaccine-production facilities to BioPort Corporation.
