MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. ?- The last time swine flu made headlines, the virus itself didn?t spread far but the fallout from the health emergency did.

A vaccination program set up in response to the 1976 outbreak on Fort Dix was blamed for more than two dozen deaths and paralyzing hundreds more people

blah blah blah go shopping

I used to hear stories all the time about my middle school gym being used for swine flu shots back then. I thought it explained a lot about the teachers.

yeah I'm one the few here old enough to actually rememebr that so I fell I can actually comment on that situation. Yeah to they overreacted then. It also also 33 years ago. I would hope we made advances since then. Oh yeah I KNOW we have.

Also I wonder why no one took into consideration the reason the flu didn't spread was exactly because we vacinated 40 million people ( nearly 20% of the population ). Isn't that what vacinations were supposed to do, prevent people from getting sick?

They are over reacting now as well.

Wrong, as the OP stated the vaccinations killed and disabled more people than the flu itself did. It cause so much damage the government had to shell out billions of dollars in settlements because the insurance company for the pharmaceutical company that developed it refused to pay because the vaccinations went untested.

So what do we have now? A government that will allow the pharmaceutical companies by law to produce a vaccination and allow it go straight to the public without going through the normal channels/trials such as FDA. Despite everyone saying it would take 6-8 months to develop such a vaccination a certain company has stated they already have a vaccination prepared for a flu which has never been seen before in history. By the public that is, in a lab?

Let's also not forget the FACT that the regular flu kills 100 people a day in the US alone and we have 1 confirmed death of a 23 month old child that came from Mexico. In addition we have conflicting numbers from within the WHO itself saying different numbers of deaths ranging from 7-150. However you look at it they are either lying about the deaths to keep people from panicking or they are lying to cause panic. Either which way it is they are lying.

I really am a doctor of science and I have done research and all evidence points to the fact that people suck.

dud you wre 2 fucking year old when that flu broke out so you certainly aren't remembering anything just what someone spewed out. I am OLDER than you so I can remember. I just love how people that weren't even around when shit happened try to tell those of us that were what things were like.

Anyways um if you vaccinate people I would not expect many of them to get sick. That what vaccinations do. Make people NOT get sick. If they came up with an AIDS vaccine and I got it then I still got AIDS I would be very disappointed.

"Dude" it's even all over the news what happened back then. They've had the guy that was fired over it on CNN all day today. I don't go off of "what other people told me" I do my own research. You must not be too familiar with the HPV shots and the numerous of other vaccinations that are and have caused deaths and long term disabilities. I can tell you I've never had a flu shot in my entire life and I won't be starting now. In fact outside of some mild pain relief shots type shots after accidents I haven't had any needles in me since I was a kid. Haven't even been to the doctor but once in over 12 years and that was with broken carpals. I'm damn sure not going to let some pharmaceutical company throw something together and let them stick it in me. You go ahead and take your shot, I'll take my chances.

"The 1976 swine flu outbreak (or the swine flu fiasco) was a strain of H1N1 influenza virus that appeared in 1976, circulated for one month, and apparently disappeared.[1] It prompted a mass immunization in the United States. The strain hospitalized 13 people and killed one, all from Fort Dix.[1]

On February 5, 1976, an army recruit at Fort Dix said he felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of his fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks after his death, health officials announced that swine flu was the cause of death and that this strain of flu appeared to be closely related to the strain involved in the 1918 flu pandemic. Alarmed public-health officials decided that action must be taken to head off another major pandemic, and they urged President Gerald Ford that every person in the U.S. be vaccinated for the disease. The vaccination program was plagued by delays and public relations problems, but about 24% of the population had been vaccinated by the time the program was canceled. Only one person, the Fort Dix army recruit, died from the flu.

"About 500 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome, resulting in death from severe pulmonary complications for 25 people, were probably caused by an immunopathological reaction to the 1976 vaccine. Other influenza vaccines have not been linked to Guillain-Barré syndrome, though caution is advised for certain individuals, particularly those with a history of GBS."
