Rick Bright @RickABright, a former top federal health official who oversaw pandemic influenza vaccine development, said the strategic national stockpile contains several millions doses of these shots."

@Hardees kept coming up in the radio segment. We did not score them because they are not ranked in the top 20 by sales. Hardees serves some chicken raised under a no medically important policy and serves 3 meats. We cannot score them since they did not have a chance to respond.
