H1N1 Virus complications? Or Just Plain Complicating?

"800,000 H1N1 vaccine doses for young children recalled; safety not a concern" reads the headline on one of today's most recent articles.
The potency of the H1N1 vaccines is falling short of what it should for one of the 5 companies manufacturing vaccines.
The French manufacturer Sanofi Pasteur is voluntarily recalling about 800,000 doses of vaccine meant for children between the ages of 6 months and 35 months.
The company and the CDC emphasized that the recall was not prompted by safety concerns, and that even though the vaccine isn't quite as potent as it's supposed to be, children who received it don't have to be immunized again against H1N1.
The CDC emphasized that there is no danger for any child who received this type of vaccine.
When asked what parents should do, CDC spokesman Tom Skinner said, "absolutely nothing." He said if children receive this vaccine, they will be fine.


So here's the deal... They recall a vaccine. And at the same time they say everyone immunized with it is fine.. And yet they have to recall the remaining doses because they aren't strong enough? I call Bullshit... These companies have to start telling the truth about their products before people get hurt.
Kids lives are at risk and telling the public that the doses aren't potent enough to protect their children and then turning around and saying they don't have to get another shot is just pure wrong... You can't argue logic verse logic using different facts. That's a fallacy.
