60 minutes - SWINE FLU VACCINE WARNING - Part I

Mike Wallace talks to President Ford, Judy Roberts (injured by the 1976 swine flu vaccine, paralyzed similar to Gardasil injury) Dr. David Sencer and others about the Swine Flu vaccine of 1976. Note the admitted lack of safety and informed consent to the public, even as TV ads frightened
American citizens into getting a shot. Think anything has changed today?

60 MINUTES, Sunday Nov 4, 1979

"SWINE FLU"

MIKE WALLACE: The flu season is upon us. Which type will we worry about
this year, and what kind of shots will we be told to take? Remember the
swine flu scare of 1976? That was the year the U.S. government told us
all that swine flu could turn out to be a killer that could spread
across the nation, and Washington decided that every man, woman and
child in the nation should get a shot to prevent a nation-wide outbreak,
a pandemic.

Well 46 million of us obediently took the shot, and now 4,000 Americans
are claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a half
billion dollars because of what happened when they took that shot. By
far the greatest number of the claims - two thirds of them are for
neurological damage, or even death, allegedly triggered by the flu shot.

We pick up the story back in 1976, when the threat posed by the swine
flu virus seemed very real indeed.

PRESIDENT GERALD FORD; This virus was the cause of a pandemic in 1918
and 1919 that resulted in over half a million deaths in the United
States, as well as 20 million deaths around the world.

WALLACE: Thus the U.S. government's publicity machine was cranked into
action to urge all America to protect itself against the swine flu
menace. (Excerpt from TV commercial urging everyone to get a swine flu
shot.) One of those who did roll up her sleeve was Judy Roberts. She was
perfectly healthy, an active woman, when, in November of 1976, she took
her shot. Two weeks later, she says, she began to feel a numbness
starting up her legs.

JUDY ROBERTS: And I joked about it at that time. I said I'll be numb to
the knees by Friday if this keeps up. By the following week, I was
totally paralyzed.
