Mr. Timberlake's publicist: Har! Har! Har!
G.W.Bush's PR goon: *whew*

"Flu Vaccine linked to Autism"--National Post, Feb. 5, 2004
Great. Now that we've all rushed out and gotten our flu vaccines because the same media outlets (along with Health Canada) accused anyone who might have been resisting the urge to race to the clinics of killing babies and old people with the spread of their murderous germs.
