Shoddy headline and article writing here:
"Feds Probe Deaths of 12 Kids Taking Bird Flu Vaccine: Federal health advisers are looking into the deaths of 12 Japanese children who took Tamiflu, an anti-flu drug."
First, vaccines are considered a drug, so no problem there. The converse, however, isn't true. A drug (category) cannot be a vaccine--that's like saying a color is red, when in fact saying "color" represents merely a category.
