Attorney Leslie Fourton is General Counsel to Gary Null.

Discusses challenges to FDA approval of Swine Flu Vaccine in New York & Washington DC.  In New York, a Judge has granted a TRO for several groups to stop the State from implementing a mandatory requirement to receive the Swine Flu vaccine for State Employees.  A Public Employees Union, a Nurses Group and the New York United Teachers Union oppose getting the vaccine as a condition of employment.  The New York Health Department intends to vigorously defend its right to impose this requirement.  On September 29, 2009, a Federal Appeals court refused to stop mandatory anthrax vaccines for service members.  Plaintiffs argued that the information re efficacy obtained by the FDA was not credible.  In the DC FDA case the arguments center on safety and efficacy.  There is a conflict between the claim that there is a major worldwide pandemic of a new kind of flu on the one hand and the claim that what they're looking at is just another shift in the genetic strain.  FDA hasn't looked at the source of this flu or how it began.
