[2011 June] GlaxoSmithKline Schemes with GAVI to Offer Rotavirus Vaccine at Reduced Costs to Third World By Christina England  All very noble of them considering that Rotarix vaccine was suspended around the world last year because it contained the DNA from pigs in it. What GlaxoSmithKline are actually offering, are vaccines at a reduced price to the third world because the take up has been so low in the Western world due to reduced confidence in the vaccine.....What these people need from the governments around the world is massive injections of cash, better education and nutrition, not left over vaccines that the Western world have lost confidence in. This is no goodwill gesture but merely a cheap publicity stunt to make GlaxoSmithKline look altruistic.
