[lit-ideas] Fw: Re: flu vaccine

I did misread the date.  By 1989 when his company was sold.  Okay, got it.  
Home Boy Snake Oil Salesman Makes Good.  I suppose that's less violent than, 
say, war lords grabbing land and eventually becoming nobility (centuries of 
history following the fall of the Roman empire compressed into eight words).

There was no FDA in 1989?  Did I misread the date?  Regarding this guy spending 
his money to help the community, that's an old trick.  The original Rockefeller 
institutionalized the idea of "public relations" to convince the population 
that he and his organization is really a good guy.  So Kaufmann makes 
unregulated medicine in his house (before the FDA came along it was called 
snake oil), sells it, maybe damages some people in the process, oops ...

Hi,
No, it is true.  (There were not FDA or regulations at the  time--Kaufmann 
people do note that it would be impossible to do today,  though.)
 
I can get you references, etc.  (and there are lots and lots of people  yet 
alive who were involved in the whole rags to riches growth of his company.  He 
did a tremendous amount for Kansas City and his foundation was one which also  
did so.  [until they hired an outside guy from NYC to run it--and he began  
changing it from what Kaufmann had envisioned...over half the board resigned in 
 protest and there was an investigation by Missouri's Attorney General])
