Some of you might recall that when the first polio vaccine came out (Jonas Salk, about 1952?), a number of people got polio and died from it. It had to be withdrawn and reformulated. Salk finally got it right, though, and millions were saved from lives as polio survivors or from death by polio.
Nah, what could go wrong, after all, it's made in India; who wouldn't want their vaccine formulated there?

I'm sure the people who got polio & died before Salk "got it right" (before thorough testing) probably would feel differently, just sayin'
