Flashback: FDA Quietly Approves Ingredient for Flu Vaccines Linked to Gulf War Syndrome
Analysis The flu season is coming, and the flu vaccine debate with it. While divisive arguments have become the norm in many areas of society, sometimes the argument is not about who is for or against vaccines, but whether our doctors are giving us all of the information for us to make an informed decision (and if they even know it themselves). The time I considered a flu shot, my doctor stopped me by saying he needs to order one without a particular ingredient because in his experience its risks were far too severe. This discovery changed how I assessed the benefits and risks of ... more »

Canada's air force lacks enough jet fighters to meet its North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) or NATO requirements, according to Canadian government auditors.
