WTF is all I can say !!!! Glad I do not smoke as well as they will more then likely mix the crops by error .... $21-million-dollar infusion from the U.S. Defense Department’s research arm will help a Canadian company set up a manufacturing plant to incubate flu vaccine in tobacco leaves.
Medicago Inc., a Quebec City-based biotech firm, is setting up an 85,000-square-foot facility in Durham, N.C., to manufacture 10 million doses of flu vaccine a month using their new technology. The company’s start-up there will translate into about 85 new jobs in Durham by the end of the 14-month contract, with some new hires in Canada as well.
