Abstract This article revisits the Cutter Incident in the United States in April 1955 when mass-produced doses of polio vaccine containing insufficiently inactivated (killed) live polio virus were released to the U.S. public. The Cutter Incident also affected subsequent vaccine development and these lessons remain relevant in the international quest to create a rapidly developed vaccine for COVID-19. The Cutter Incident shows how things can go wrong when a vaccine is manufactured in haste and without adequate safety precautions during mass-production. In the article’s later section, liability without fault, among other consequences resulting from the incident, are also assessed in the context of current vaccine development through Operation Warp Speed, the public-private partnership funded by the U.S. government to develop a remedy for COVID-19.

The business impacts with the Great East Japan Earthquake to the society reflected not only in tangible areas but also in intangible areas such as supply chains and functionalities of urban cities. This note discusses increasing vulnerability of our networked society and also need for establishing interoperability of logistics realized by flexible modal shifts among different transportation methods. In the process of the discussions, necessity for PPP (Public-Private Partnership) is considered with two case studies from the United States and the United Kingdom. In the last, the way forward to establish a flexible logistics-based resilience in major supply chains is proposed to prepare for incoming disasters.

Human Rights Standards

Internet censorship refers to a government’s unjustified scrutiny and control of online speech or government-approved control measures. The danger of Internet censorship is its chilling effect and substantial harm on free speech, a cornerstone of democracy, in cyberspace. This article compares China’s blocking and filtering system, Singapore’s class license system, and the United States’ government-private partnership model and identifies the features of each model. This article also explores the pros and cons of each model under international human rights standards. By finding lessons from each of the models, this article contends that Taiwan should retain its current minimal Internet control model. Further, Taiwan should fix flaws in its current Internet control system, including the private partnership model adopted by the Copyright Act, to be consistent with Article19.3 of the ICCPR.

Delivery Options

This paper reviews value for money (VfM) analyses conducted in the United States to gain an understanding of methods used in addressing key issues in VfM analyses. The paper shows that VfM analysis approaches are inconsistent. In many cases it is difficult to decipher the source of differences between delivery options. Discount rates are sometimes used in a way that reduces credibility of the results. The paper presents some ideas for how these key issues can be approached so that VfM analysis results are more credible, consistent, and transparent.
