Court Wed Nov 16, 7:32 PM ET Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is seeking a last-minute amendment to an appropriations bill that would remove legal liability from a drug company if the Bush Administration declares its vaccines are needed to

react to a public health threat. The pharmaceutical industry that makes the vaccines was the largest industry donor to Frist’s National Republican Senatorial Committee, the political arm of Senate Republicans that was key to winning a GOP majority in the Senate. How can we trust an administration that does not know what a weapon of mass destruction is to take away our legal rights when it sees a so-called public health threat? In the Frist/Bush lexicon, tylenol probably fits the definition of an endangered vaccine. This is a total giveaway to the

GOP's biggest donor using national security as cover. It’s a terror dividend for Big Pharma, which handed Senator Frist and the GOP the third branch of government. Under the Frist amendment, the Bush Administration could classify any vaccine as necessary for a bio-terrorist threat and provide almost virtual immunity from prosecution. Frist himself has acknowledged problems with the anthrax vaccine:"The [anthrax] vaccine is a dated vaccine, it's an old vaccine. There are very real and potentially serious side effects from the vaccine and anyone who elects to receive the vaccine needs to be made aware of that," Frist told CNN after 9/11. "I do not recommend widespread inoculation for people with the vaccine in the Hart Building," he said. "There are too many side effects and if there is limited

chance of exposure the side effects would far outweigh any potential advantage." After secretly providing immunity protection for the makers of Thimerosal in 2002 under the cover of Homeland Security, Congressional leaders are again providing sweeping protections for the drug industry while no one is looking. That 2002 amendment was based on parallel legislation Frist carried. The 2002 backlash forced the Senate to take back that immunity f.Frist's "blind trust" also listed personal investments with Abbot Labs and &

in the $15,00 to $50,000 range. Frist himself had a close relationship with Eli Lilly, maker of Thirmerosal, which not only topped the list of drug maker contributors to GOP Senator’s PAC but also bought 5,000 copies of Frist's book on bio-terrorrism. Will Bill Frist ever look up the word ethics?
