A good question for the lot of you. We had a swine flu in 1976 that we were gearing up to vaccinate everyone until a bunch of people came down with Gillian-Barre syndrome. What does the percentage of vaccinated people with side effects with the covid-19 vaccines compare to the rate of such with the 1976 flu vaccine?

From memory, I recall the push for everyone to get the swine flu shot at the time (I was 23 in early 1976). When media started reporting cases of Guillan-Barre syndrome, and cases of heart attacks from the vaccine, that was it for me. I decided I'd rather take my chances with the flu than that so-called vaccine.

This was the year I made my first grand tour of the US. I drove from Cali to NY, up to Montreal for the Olympics, down to GA to visit family, and back to Cali. I drove about 7500 miles in 3 weeks. There were no travel restrictions at the time, and I never got sick that year.

Hmmm, just crossed my mind that this was another vaccine push during an election year that resulted in a DemonRat ousting a sitting Rethuglican President. Of course, Ford also had the Nixon pardon hanging over his head during that election.
