Swine Flu 1976: Paranoia and Propaganda

Watch this CBS “60 Minutes” documentary on the swine flu epidemic of 1976. It went on air only once and was never shown again. This will shock you.

In the video, a government agent is caught lying to the public about risk of neurological disorders in subjects who took the swine flu vaccine. Mary Tyler Moore is interviewed after the government claimed that she took the swine flu as part of its widespread televised propaganda. She denies to the reporter that she ever took the swine flu.

In 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has granted complete legal immunity to the manufacturer of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.

  1. So often lessons from our past are forgotten. Government should only have enough authority to protect our rights. Everything beyond that becomes a vector for abuse.

  2. I saw this before, very interesting indeed. And now there is a national emergency called upon for something that kills less than the common flu? It makes no sense.

    I know that I am one who will not get this vaccine. I’ll have more of a chance of getting hurt by it than by the flu itself.

  3. Personally, I think this blog is at its strongest when it stays on target. This just seems lifted from somewhere else, with no original content.

  4. Obama’s WMD is the swine flu. Playing the fear factor card, Obama adm nicely dovetails his health care reform with a trumped up pandemic so to emotionally cloud this issue

  5. American being bankrupt is a national emergency, not the Swine Flu. I for one will not be getting a flu shot.

  6. Why do government agents lie? Because they can.

    Laws and ordinances protect government employees from being held accountable for what they say and do. As usual, 60 minutes missed that important fact.

  7. #4, you want to know how Fullerton fits in to this post, check out this excerpt from the Fullerton Municipal Code:
    1.12.290 Interpretation of mandatory language as not creating mandatory duty.
    Whenever mandatory language such as “shall,” “must,” “will” or similar mandatory language appears in any ordinance or other documents approved by the City or by any of its officers, agents or employees any of which documents are construed as an “enactment” within the meaning of the California Government Code, such mandatory language shall not be construed as creating a mandatory duty within the meaning of Section 815.6 of the California Government Code unless such an intention to establish said mandatory duty is clearly and unequivocally expressed in the language of that enactment. Neither shall any such mandatory language be construed as imposing such a mandatory duty upon the City, its officers, agents or employees. (Ord. 2578, 1986).
    So, in other words our City officers, agents and employees are not required to do anything that they are required to do unless they are really, really required to do it.
    And of course such redundancy is never drafted into an “enactment” because there is no place for redundancy in “enactments”. One need not wonder why the City Attorney could have allowed our Electeds to approve something so convoluted and poorly written; it gets him off the hook too.

  8. The point is that the state will lie and abuse its power to get what it wants. This happens at every level of government, from the feds all the way down to Fullerton city hall. As citizens, we must stay vigilant.

    Whenever the government tells you that you “need” something, think twice.
