10. '76 Swine Flu vaccine killed 30 people plus 500 cases of severe paralyzing nerve disease . . .
THEN . . . the vaccination program was stopped!


The 1976 Swine Flu was responded to with a vaccine ... 30 died from it ... program stopped.....

President Gerald Ford immediately ordered a nationwide vaccination program.

More than 40 million people were vaccinated. However, the program was stopped short after over 500 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, a severe paralyzing nerve disease, were reported. 30 people died as a direct result of the vaccinations.

Unanswered questions regarding the outbreak remain to this day. According to a CDC investigation, It is not known why the virus did not extend beyond basic trainees or beyond the military base. The source of the virus, the exact time of its introduction into Fort Dix, and factors limiting its spread and duration remain unknown.


PLEASE STOP trying to turn the internet into TV....!!!!
