I was wondering when you would show up to show us all how wrong we are.
I clearly remember what happened then and they stopped the swine flu vax because of the side effects and deaths. Just for fun, I did a quick DuckDuckGo search and what do I see? You are wrong.
“By 15 December, cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) affecting vaccinated patients were reported in 10 states, including Minnesota, Maryland, and Alabama.[14] Three more cases of Guillain-Barré were reported in early December, and the investigation into cases of it spread to eleven states. On December 16, a one-month suspension of the vaccination program was announced by Sencer. William Foege of the CDC estimated that the incidence of GBS was four times higher in vaccinated people than in those not receiving the swine flu vaccine. Ford told reporters that he agreed with the suspension, but he defended the decision to create the immunization program. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., was sworn in as Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare on January 20, 1977. On February 4, Sencer was informed that he would be replaced as the head of the CDC. The immunization program was not reinstated.”
Your comment is a complete canard. Whether or not there was a swine flu epidemic is immaterial. There was a vaccination campaign started, there were a high incidence of side effects and some deaths and it was stopped because of that.

Your link substantiates my comment. No pandemic, no need for vaccinations.
