Looks like Department of Health and Human Service has decided to jump on the same train wreck as DOE.
It seems that they decided to sole source a $433M contract to a top Dem donor for a experimental smallpox drug.
Boy o boy, this administration just has a knack for giving us scandals.
Cost, need questioned in $433-million smallpox drug deal
A company controlled by a longtime political donor gets a no-bid contract to supply an experimental remedy for a threat that may not exist.
Over the last year, the Obama administration has aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work.
Senior officials have taken unusual steps to secure the contract for New York-based Siga Technologies Inc., whose controlling shareholder is billionaire Ronald O. Perelman, one of the world's richest men and a longtime Democratic Party donor.
