The thought that millions of pregnant women are going to see that and run right out and get stuck makes me SICK. Doesn't anyone recall what happened last time they scared tons of people into getting a vaccine for this? Wonder if they mentioned the thousands of Guillian Barre Syndrom reports back in the 70s during this news clip. DOUBT IT! I would do some serious research before injecting yourself with ANYTHING whlie you are pregnant. |
The 1976 swine flu outbreak, also known as the swine flu fiasco, or the swine flu debacle, was a strain of H1N1 influenza virus that appeared in 1976. Infections were only detected from January 19 to February 9, and were not found outside Fort Dix.[1] The outbreak is most remembered for the mass immunization that it prompted in the United States. The strain itself killed one person and hospitalized 13[citation needed]. However, side-effects from the vaccine caused five hundred cases of Guillain–Barré syndrome and 25 deaths.[2][3]
