TV Vaccine video uses humor to ask a serious question

Former U.S. senators Bob Graham and Jim Talent aren't afraid to break a few eggs to make a point: Why, they ask, if we're not flying propeller-powered planes, pounding manual typewriters or watching Elvis gyrate on black-and-white TVs, are we still using eggs to make flu vaccine?

All of the above – the senators fumbling eggs, the prop planes, the typewriters and Elvis – appear in a video made to dramatize their concern about why 21st-century drugmakers are using 1950s technology to make a potentially lifesaving vaccine.
