“The reason this vaccination campaign was undertaken was spurious. It was a mirage, there was no threat of smallpox from Iraq. And that remains a powerfully sad coda to this whole episode.”
William Schaffner
“I feel it's part of a general problem. Generally, there are far too many attempts to stifle developments through spurious claims to 'own' particular ideas when those ideas are clearly in the common domain.”
Neil James
“irrational and legally spurious.”
Eliot Spitzer
“I think the bill is at best misguided and misinformed, and at worst spurious and ridiculous.”
Rep. Kyrsten Sinema
“I can't see that happening. However spurious Bush's mandate was in 2004 - let alone 2000 - Harper is sitting in a House of Commons where he doesn't have a majority. And if he wants to keep power, he's got to keep in mind the views of Canadians, two-thirds of whom say they don't want to see the same-sex marriage bill reopened. And many of whom oppose any sort of involvement in Iraq and are very suspicious of too much concession to the United States.”
David McDonald
“Basically, what they're working on here is a smallpox drug. As you know, the vaccine does have a lot of side effects. And this small, tiny basically New York-based company, with its labs out in Oregon, is working on this drug, ... And they just recently announced a contract from the Army -- $1.6 million. It's obviously speculative and somewhere along the line the company is going to have to raise money.”
Peter Cardillo
“The president has made it clear that he was obtaining the smallpox vaccine in his position as commander-in-chief.”
