		<description><![CDATA[One of last year&#8217;s batch of GSK swine flu vaccines stopped being used because of some reactions that were noticed. Fair enough, the odd part is the comment made by the spokesman for Canada&#8217;s health minister who said &#8220;We&#8217;re not seeing any thing wild or spooky or crazy about our vaccine at all.&#8221;
