By Robert Frank
Late last year, the U.S. economy experienced a surprising decoupling.
As stocks boomed, the wealthy bounced back. And while the Main Street economy was wracked by high unemployment and the real-estate crash, the wealthy–whose financial fates were more tied to capital markets than jobs and houses– picked themselves up, brushed themselves off and started buying luxury goods again.
Who knows what the next few months and years will bring. But one thing seems clear: the economic fate of Richistan seems increasingly separate from the fate of the U.S.
Some argue that the decoupling has gone even further. Michael Lind, a policy director for the Economic Growth Program at the New American Foundation, argues in Salon that the American rich no longer need the rest of America.
He says the wealthy increasingly earn their fortunes with overseas labor, selling to overseas consumers and managing financial transactions that have little to do with the rest of the U.S. “A member of the elite can make money from factories in China that sell to consumers in India, while relying entirely or almost entirely on immigrant servants at one of several homes around the country.”
He adds:
If the American rich increasingly do not depend for their wealth on American workers and American consumers or for their safety on American soldiers or police officers, then it is hardly surprising that so many of them should be so hostile to paying taxes to support the infrastructure and the social programs that help the majority of the American people. The rich don’t need the rest anymore.
Some would argue this is a vast overstatement. The U.S. remains the largest consumer market in the world and still matters to Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein alike. The American wealthy benefit greatly from the country’s legal system and business transparency, not to mention its armed forces.
Yet the increasingly global elite do seem to be forming something of their own financial culture, unattached to any single nation or set of rules, and increasingly free to move their money and resources (and tax dollars) wherever they are treated best.
Rather than having a second home in Richistan, an increasing number of rich people seem to be moving their money there full time.
Do you think the rest of America matters anymore to the rich?

The Flu Vaccine Is Coming! The Flu Vaccine Is Coming!
Flu season generally doesn’t kick in until October, but shipments of the vaccine have already started.
Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis’s Sanofi Pasteur and AstraZeneca’s MedImmune have all announced over the last ten days or so that they’ve started shipping vaccines to distributors. Different brands and types of vaccines are approved for different age groups.
Today, the FDA released a complete list of approved vaccines, which in addition to products made by the companies listed above includes a vaccine called Afluria made by Australia’s CSL Limited. The label for that vaccine has changed to “inform health care providers about an increased incidence of fever and febrile seizure” seen in young kids, mostly under 5, during the southern hemisphere’s flu season. Prefilled syringes intended for the youngest kids won’t be distributed in the U.S., and the FDA is requiring the company to do further research on the fever issue.
For the first time, the CDC is recommending everyone aged 6 months and up — including the usually low-risk 19- to 49-year-olds — be vaccinated against the flu. Recommendations by the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices say there’s “evidence that annual influenza vaccination is a safe and effective preventive health action with potential benefit in all age groups.”
This year’s batch of vaccines protect against the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus and two other strains of flu, as recommended by the CDC.
That means just one vaccination for most people. But some kids between 6 months and 8 years old — those whose vaccination status is unknown, who have never been vaccinated or were vaccinated for the first time during the 2009-10 season and only got one dose of seasonal flu vaccine and those who didn’t get at least one dose of the swine flu vaccine last year — should get two doses this year, the CDC says. If that’s confusing, there’s a handy flow chart (Fig. 3) at the end of the CDC’s recommendations to help sort it out.

FDA Clears Glaxo Vaccine
BY JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration said Friday that vaccines to protect infants against rotavirus are safe, removing its recommendation that doctors suspend use of GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Rotarix vaccine.
In late March, the FDA advised doctors to use Merck & Co.'s rotavirus vaccine instead, until more could be found out about fragments of a pig virus discovered in Rotarix by a team of California researchers. At the time, the DNA of porcine circovirus wasn't found in Merck's ...

DNA of Pig Viruses Found in Merck Vaccine
BY JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN
WASHINGTON—The Food and Drug Administration said Thursday that fragments of two types of pig viruses were found in Merck & Co.'s Rotateq vaccine, but the agency didn't immediately say whether the vaccine should be avoided.
An FDA vaccine-advisory panel had already scheduled a meeting for Friday to discuss GlaxoSmithKline PLC's Rotarix vaccine. Both the Glaxo and Merck vaccines are designed to protect infants from a gastrointestinal illness caused by rotavirus and have been given to millions of babies. While rotavirus is rarely fatal in the U.S., it contributed to about 70,000 infant hospitalizations annually before Merck's vaccine was approved in ...

上文我们发现，猪病毒的DNA从疫苗中发现，接下来我们看下他们关于H1N1疫苗的报道
http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2010/05/19/people-who-skipped-h1n1-vaccine-didnt-think-flu-was-dangerous/?KEYWORDS=Vaccine
People Who Skipped H1N1 Vaccine Didn’t Think Flu Was Dangerous
Public health officials, take note: the “If we build it, they will come” approach to a pandemic flu vaccine isn’t going to work. You’re also going to have to convince people that the illness is a serious health threat, and that the vaccine is safe.
That’s the gist, at least, of a Harvard School of Public Health analysis of 20 national opinion polls taken at various points during last year’s H1N1 (aka swine flu) pandemic. The review was published online today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The general theme: people who didn’t get vaccinated didn’t believe H1N1 was dangerous and were also concerned about the vaccine’s safety. Here are some highlights:
We were pretty good about washing our hands more – or at least telling pollsters we were washing our hands more. At the beginning of the pandemic, about two-thirds of us reported our families were soaping up or using sanitizer.
Before the vaccine became available on a limited basis in October, about half of those surveyed said they planned to get the vaccine, and between 59% and 70% of parents said they’d get it for their kids.
Almost 90% of adults said they thought the H1N1 vaccine was “safe” or “very safe,” but only 33% of those were in the “very safe” camp, compared with 57% who expressed that sentiment about the seasonal flu vaccine.
Of the parents who said they wouldn’t or might not have their kids vaccinated, 33% said they were concerned about “exposure to another serious illness.” And 31% of that same group said they didn’t trust public health officials to give them accurate safety info.
As vaccine became more widely available in December, public worries about actually getting sick waned
When the vaccine was in short supply, 54% of respondents in one poll said the feds were doing a poor or very poor job of providing enough of the stuff.
Still, in early November, adults were split on whether the H1N1 vaccine had been rushed through the production process too quickly to guarantee its safety.
The authors conclude that “in the event of a future influenza pandemic, a substantial proportion of the public may not take a newly developed vaccine because they may believe that the illness does not pose a serious health threat, because they (especially parents) may be concerned about the safety of the available vaccine, or both.”
Flu bonus: A panel convened to probe how WHO responded to the H1N1 pandemic is seeking confidential correspondence between the organization and pharma companies, the Washington Post reports.
