"Fake flu shots were given out last week at a health fair at Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Baytown complex and an investigation was under way, authorities said

Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Treacy A. Roberts said Thursday that the FBI told the company that what was administered "definitely not the flu vaccine.

Exxon Mobil offered blood tests and counseling to the up to 1,000 employees who took part in the health fair at the oil company's vast complex of refineries and chemical plants just east of Houston.

The FBI and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating what was in the syringes and whether others might have received the fake vaccine, Rosenberg said.

FBI officials did not explain how they found out about the potential fraud, Roberts said"


pretty disgusting

either the subcontractor is guilty of fraud, criminal negligence or Exxon-mobile is
 
I had a flu jab yesterday. But a nurse gave me it and I think it was real.

"In May, a nurse in Minnesota, Michelle Torgerson, pleaded guilty to dispensing a drug without a prescription, admitting she used diluted vaccine left over from an earlier clinic and pocketed the cash when she gave college students shots at $20 each."

I thought it was just old or vulnerable people who got flu shots?

Or maybe I'm just too lazy and ignorant to goto the docs.

Also in the priorities list are the "essential services workers" I guess in this case it includes refinery works as they are pretty damn important, they get ill and stop working and the planets energy economy collapses.

Well, it was free. So either she was being malicious or I'm fine.
