    On the cold afternoon of February 5, 1976, an Army recruit told his drill instructor at Fort Dix that he felt tired and weak but not sick enough to see military medics or skip a big training hike.

    Within 24 hours, 19-year-old Pvt. David Lewis of Ashley Falls, Mass., was dead, killed by an influenza not seen since the plague of 1918-19

    ...

    Only young Lewis died from the swine flu itself in 1976. But as the critics are quick to point out, hundreds of Americans were killed or seriously injured by the inoculation the government gave them to stave off the virus.

      Heh, yeah, looks like Avian Flu wasn't being transmitted from person to person well enough. Swine Flu should keep the Tamiflu sales going strong.

      Sadly the idea that the swine flu vaccines killed or harmed hundreds (by inducing GBS a neuromusuclar disorder) is almost as wrong as the reports that MMR jabs caused autism. Both were media scares that actually reduced the number of vaccines given to the public and so both greatly reduced the potential for the virus to mutate and develop resistance to the vaccine risking the lives of billions.

      Its the notion of the greater good. Sure 1% may suffer from the treatment but 50% might not get ill at all anymore. And when you're talking in billions of people 1% might be hellovalot of people but only 1/50th of those you save.

      And besides those with weak immune systems are less likely to die from swine flu so drink lots, smoke your lungs out, and lick pavements for long life
