25. Who told you it was safe back then, and why you needed it,

and who is telling you it's safe now, and why you need it?

The guy on NBC News the other Night stated that to this day, no one knows what was different about the vaccine in 1976. Of course, he also said that the CDC urged Gerald Ford to get everyone vaccinated. My understanding is that the CDC mentioned the possibility of an outbreak on an Army base, and noted that the situation needed watching. The decision to vaccinate everyone came out of a White House trying to gain poll numbers after pardoning Nixon.
