Guest guest Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Now this is interesting........ snip: " Bioport says it plans to appeal the decision. " The only reason I could see Bioport wanting to appeal the decision... (not a defendant???) is because they see a slide in sales... now that service men and women cannot be forced to take their crap. Subject: WILX-TV: BioPort -- not a Defendant -- will appeal Judge Sullivan's ruling? http://www.wilx.com/news/headlines/550387.html Anthrax Vaccine a Personal Choice for Military Lansing’s Bioport Could See Sales Slide Ross Dec 23, 2003 A judge ruled that servicemen and women couldn’t be forced to receive the anthrax vaccine if they choose not to. The news could affect sales of Lansing’s Bioport to its largest client the U.S. Department of Defense. The ruling is based on a 1998 law prohibiting the use of experimental drugs without patient permission. Bioport says its vaccine has been around for over 30 years and is by no means experimental. Despite the ruling it’s not yet clear to company officials if it will impact only a handful within the case or all of the armed forces. Bioport says regardless, the decision will not damage its bottom line. Any shortfalls in sales from the DOD, it plans to make up in part through international sales and new product development. Bioport says it plans to appeal the decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
