Edwards/Flu Shot Myth

[jneale]

They are passing one of those e-mail myths here at work about Edwards being responsible for the flu shot shortage (due to a case he won that forced a $5 million judgment forcing companies out of the market). Yes I know it is fake, but that isn’t stopping the people here from believing it.

I can’t find an urban myth site to contradict the story – usually they pop up as soon as the spam starts to fly – anyone know about this one? Have a link?

Belated thanks….

After I posted the request ….told my fundamentalist boss that I didn’t have time to respond to his obvious spam because I was taking ½ day vacation to drive to UC to hear Michael Moore. I told him that if he believed it was a true story…and I proved him wrong – he’d watch F 9/11 …

I actually got an “I was wrong” out of him and a promise that he’d watch the movie….taking it in tomorrow….ought to be interesting day @ work on Monday.

Thanks again.
