By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS (CP) ? 2 hours ago
WARSAW, Poland ? A Polish official who has waged a campaign against the government for refusing to import swine flu vaccines says he is himself now sick with the illness.
Janusz Kochanowski, Poland's ombudsman, the top civil rights official, announced Friday on Twitter that he has a bad case of swine flu and called it "ironical."
Poland's government has refused to import swine flu vaccines, arguing that not enough clinical trials have been carried in the rush to produce them and that producers refuse to take responsibility for any possible side effects.
Kochanowski asked prosecutors in early December to investigate the government for that decision, which he says endangers public health. Prosecutors have not decided whether to investigate.
