President Bush to sign Project BioShield "Project BioShield, a 10-year $6-billion program to develop and produce new vaccines and countermeasures against potential bioweapons, would give the National Institutes of Health (NIH) new authority to bypass traditional procedures when awarding urgently-needed research and development grants and contracts and allow the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to distribute experimental drugs in case of a bioterrorist attack or other emergency." http://www.biomedcentral.com/news/20030204/03/

"Project BioShield gives drug companies a market for drugs that healthy Americans otherwise would not buy: vaccines for anthrax, smallpox and West Nile virus as well as treatments for ebola, radiation sickness and plague." "Project BioShield gives the government the authority to procure drugs that cannot be tested in humans and to buy drugs before they have gone through all the necessary animal testing." http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/business/20040721-9999-1b21bioshiel.html
"It makes no sense to create a new vaccine and then not figure out how to get people to take it," Benjamin said. http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0704/071504gns1.htm
