----------60 Minutes always has an agenda for ratings, and Mike Wallace always intends to tear down the target.-----------
Yes, I've always hated 
for that. Agenda driven news reportage has got to be abolished.
-------------There were approximately 40 million flu vaccinations administered in 1976, with 500 cases of Guillian Barre Syndrome and 25 deaths attributed to the 1976 flu vaccine.-----------
---------Alternatively, there were 34,017 automobile fatalities in 2008, 37,435 deaths in 2007, and 38,648 in 2006. Do you drive?---------------
Actually, I was thinking of a comparison myself(a better one), I just don't have the numbers at my disposal.
How many people actually died of the swine flu of the 70's? IIRC, more died from the vaccine than from the flu itself.
As addressed in my previous post, there were only 200 total reported cases of the flu in 1976. To date, there have been over 43,000 cases of swine flu and 376 deaths in 2009.
Actually the beginning of this article says that 4000 were severly sickened from this vaccine. One of my husband’s business colleagues — a young engineer — nearly died from this vaccine. He was hospitalized (paralyzed) for nearly a year. His wife credits prayer and the intervention of jesus for saving him — not medicine which got him sick in the first place!
My daughter in law is pregnant with our 11th grandchild (due in November. She suffers from many allergies and has asthma. I am concerned that she will be pushed to the front of the line for this vaccine which really hasn’t been tested yet.
