"IT IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGE BUT TO INVESTIGATE"

The Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot has been strongly criticized for the management of pandemic influenza A (H1N1). Although she says she applied the precautionary principle, it has acknowledged that too many vaccines were on order, including giving a glimpse of the state payment of compensation to the industry after the announcement of its intention to cancel orders for 50 million doses of vaccine, 94 million initially ordered. Vaccines have been sold to some countries, but France was left with millions of unnecessary doses, while five million people have been vaccinated to date and that the epidemic is officially over.
Roselyne Bachelot, acknowledged Wednesday the decision of the Assembly and expressed its readiness to "provide all the information" needed to feed its work. "I want it to be during an analysis, reverse the past course without indulging in the delights of lucidity posterori or expertise of the third half-time," she cautioned, however.
