Anyone who was not around for the government’s 1975 swine flu vaccine debacle would be wise to research it. This vaccine is being rushed through development by a bunch of people desperate to save face. The odds of bad things happening are quite high.

Well I was here for that, and also for fast-tracked Salk Vaccine of 1955. Cutter Labs produced a bad batch administered to over 200 thousand people.
The mass vaccination program had to be suspended within a month-70Thousand cases of muscle weakness, 164 cases of sever paralysis, 10 deaths. 75% of the paralyzed were that way the rest of their lives. This was more than the average occurance with out vaccine.
And in short order, there was the SV40 contamination which has been associated with certain types of cancer. SV 40 stands for the 40th Simian Virus identified -happens because they use monkey kidneys.
In 1977 Dr. Salk testified in Congress that the oral polio vaccine had caused most of the polio cases in the USA since the early 1960s.
What sort of virus/disease was Polio?
-75% of people would have no symptoms
-1 in 4 would have flu like symptoms for 2-5 days
-1 of 200 would have weakness or paralysis, but many
recovered
-2-10% of the paralyzed died
I was part of the initial 1954 trial. The next year my parents refused to sign the permission slip so I was lucky—every one at my school that got the vaccine that year got sick and threw up all over the place.
Everyone is entitled to informed consent - to know the risks and to know that the vaccine has not been contaminated. They should also be entitled to decline any medical procedure including vaccines(especially new ones) and take their chances.
