Just when you thought the oil companies couldnt go any lower

they pull shit like this.

Sounds like an episode of Law and Order!

now that is fucking scummy, seeing as they are making so much

That is messed up big time.

I doubt it was the oil company. It was probably some scummy contractor out to make a quick buck.

I wouldn't rule out either possibility yet.

They played that repeat last week.

I don't see how the oil companies are to blame on this. My subdivision gives out flu shots - if they ended up with a fake batch I doubt they would have planned it.

Say what you will but if you have invested in oil companies, they aren't doing anything "low" in the first place ;)

regardless..the oil company contracted the work out to someone who is not qualified or straight out lied...the blame still lies with them.

record profits=record law suits

damn that would suck poor people

Sometimes I have to wonder about you.

Hey, why stop at just harming the planet, poisoning tens of thousands of people every year, suppressing alternative energy research, and stiffing native Alaskans of the 4.5 billion you owe in court ordered damages?

CLICK!

How many of you complaining have sold your cars and are walking, riding a bike, taking mass transportation, etc? Here's a clue - they can't make profits if people don't buy the product :)

Exxon-Mobil Employees Given Fake Flu Shots

BAYTOWN, Texas

Fake flu shots were given out last week at a health fair at Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Baytown complex and an investigation was under way, authorities said.

Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Treacy A. Roberts said Thursday that the FBI told the company that what was administered "definitely not the flu vaccine."

It doesn't appear that the fake shots were harmful, but steps were being taken to ensure workers' safety, U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement Thursday.

Exxon Mobil offered blood tests and counseling to the up to 1,000 employees who took part in the health fair at the oil company's vast complex of refineries and chemical plants just east of Houston.

The FBI and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are investigating what was in the syringes and whether others might have received the fake vaccine, Rosenberg said.

Jeanne Miller, another Exxon Mobil spokeswoman, said a doctor provided the shots in Exxon's first use of an outside contractor to administer the shots. She declined to identify the doctor because of the federal investigation.

In the past, Miller said, company medical staff had offered flu shots at health fairs.

FBI officials did not explain how they found out about the potential fraud, Roberts said.

In May, a nurse in Minnesota, Michelle Torgerson, pleaded guilty to dispensing a drug without a prescription, admitting she used diluted vaccine left over from an earlier clinic and pocketed the cash when she gave college students shots at $20 each.

I'm halfway there. I recently sold my F150 truck (with a V8) and bought a small 4 cyl. car to run around in.

Aside from that, I ride the mountain bike a lot more places these days than I usually do.
