Just to show how far back the problem goes !!!.

The following was 20 YEARS AGO!!!


CHARLES TAYLOR -IN ATLANTA GEORGIA ---- MAJORCA DAILY BULLETIN 7/11/1986

IN' A NORTHEAST Atlanta warehouse, more that, 40 million doses of swine influenza vaccine, in cold storage since 1976, await a government decision for disposal.
The vials of vaccine, reminders of America's big' swine flu scare a decade ago, have not been checked for potency in the last two years and their eventual fate is unknown, said officials of the National Center for Disease Control.
Ten years ago, Federal Health Authorities Iaunched an unprecedented national Campaign to vaccinate millions of Americans against an expected onslaught of a potent influenza strain they believed would strike 50 to 60 million US citizens.
Virologists said the virus. was the same, or closely related to, the flu agent that in 1918 killed 548,452 Americans and 21 million world wide in the greatest plague of modern times.
On October 1, 1976 after many delays, the $135 million federally funded inoculation program got under way at public clinics across the country.
The funds were sufficient to pay for 200 miIIion doses of Vaccine in history's first national effort to immunise an entire population against a major disease.
Ten weeks later on December 16, 1976 the CDC suspended the program after it received reports that some vaccine recipients contracted a type of paralysis known as Guillian-Barre syndrome . It was indefinitely called off as evidence mounted that the paralysis and the vaccine might be linked.
A total of 43 million Americans received inoculations but the expected swine flu' epidemic never occurred. After initial cases among army recruits at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in February 1976, one of them fatal, only a handful of similar. infections were reported to the CDCs nationwide surveillance .system, proving once again the unpredictable nature of the flu virus.
The government, which had insured the vaccine manufacturers against damage suits, was 'faced :with millions of dollars in claims by individuals who said they became paralysed after being immunised with the vaccine. . So popular we were such lawsuits that a legal 'specialty ' developed around filing Guillian Barre claims aims against the US Govt. A Federal Judge awarded a Scranton Pennsylvanian , woman $3.9 million .
The CDC's heretofore spotless reputation as the world's premier health organisation the agency playing a leading role at that time in eradicating smallpox from the world was blemished. Federal immunisation programs, especially its flu vaccination efforts, were called into question. There were other repercussions. Dr David J. Sencer, Assistant Surgeon General and CDC director, who came under heavy fire for recommending the national immunisation program to then President Gerald Ford, resigned his post.
Spencer's colleagues, 10 years later, said the CDC director made the correct decision based on information available to him at the time. The fact that he got canned for it is political history, not scientific history,,, said Dr Donald Millar, who was coordinator of CDC's swine flu task force and is currently director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
Spencer after leaving CDC for worked for a drug firm until he became Commissioner of Public Health for New York city He now is with a private company,. Management Science for Health, in Boston.
Dr Alan' Hinman director of the a CDC's Immumisation Division, also said Spencer's decision for a national ,immunization program was correct
Millar said there are several scientific mysteries posed by the nation's swine flu. experience:' What happenned to the virus after its first appearance at Fort Dix, New Jersey? How did .the army . recruit who died, *Private David Lewis, contracted the virus?. And we never figured out what it was in that vaccine jug that made people get Guillain Barre., he said. UPI

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Good to hear that there are some people out there with some sense!!

I am afraid that orthodox medicine is mainly about money -- not curing people .
