Bird flu... 7.1 bill

I do not agree with bush, i do not like the man at all, but I got to say for once he is doing something right. What do you guys think? do you think we should put more money into it?

Bush outlines $7.1 billion flu pandemic strategy
Program calls for enough vaccine to protect 20 million Americans

WASHINGTON - President Bush outlined a $7.1 billion strategy Tuesday to prepare for the danger of a pandemic influenza outbreak, saying he wanted to stockpile enough vaccine to protect 20 million Americans against the current strain of bird flu.

The president also said the United States must approve liability protection for the makers of lifesaving vaccines. He said the number of American vaccine manufacturers has plummeted because the industry has been hit with a flood of lawsuits.

Bush said no one knows when or where a deadly strain of flu will strike but ?at some point we are likely to face another pandemic.?
