Dear CMPI Friends,

The Center for Medicine in the Public Interest is pleased to announce the release of our latest
video interview with Congressman Joe Wilson (R-SC).

Congressman Wilson gained national notoriety for shouting “You lie!” as President Obama
delivered a speech on health care reform to a joint session of Congress in September.

In our interview with Congressman Wilson, we discuss that incident, the feedback he received
from constituents at his health care town halls, and why he believes a new public plan would
threaten the future of American health care.

Conservative Radio Talk Show Host Rush Limbaugh mentions CMPI Vice-President Robert
Goldberg's New York Post Op-Ed on the swine flu vaccine on his radio show yesterday:

There's a great story in the New York Post today about this bill from Robert Goldberg. He's
vice president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest. "The shortage of swine-flu
vaccine results not from drug- company greed --" wow, I thought everything was the result of
big corporate greed. No, "The shortage of swine-flu vaccine results not from drug- company greed
or outsize demand but almost entirely from the government's decision to pander to unfounded and
unscientific fear. As The Wall Street Journal reported last week, the US government set out to have
the H1N1 vaccine produced largely in single-dose syringes -- a demand that has set back
production considerably, because multidose vials are far easier to make."
