Kaiser Permanente in Seattle is testing one of the new vaccine candidates for the Branded Swine Flu. For clarity, they aren't making the vaccine; they were able to assemble a set of suitable volunteers from the epicenter of the breakout.
I don't go in for Team Spirit, but must admit this makes me feel a little proud that the money I've been paying them for 12 years is helping to accomplish an important task.
