Rick Borgwardt

"In Canada, we trust."

Rick Borgwardt is a 66-year-old emphysema patient who received a potentially lifesaving flu shot from Canada.  The flu shot was imported by Dr. Philip O'Keefe of the California Pacific Medical Center after a three-week struggle with the FDA.  Borgwardt says he has no concerns about the safety of the vaccine from Canada.
