In the 1976 swine flu pandemic, we attempted to vaccinate 55 million Americans. There were 500 cases of Guianne Barre syndrome (ascending paralysis) and 25 deaths. The program was killed at 25 deaths.
Look it up if you think I'm lying.

Looked it up.
An interesting read on the 1976 swine flu scare and response issues is below, and there are many others out there.

From what I have looked up, since you won’t provide a reference to your data, it was killed because it (1) wasn’t necessary, (2) got a lot of bad press that was inaccurate, and (3) certainly could have caused rare harm, which because of (1) very well could have been inappropriate. See reference above, additional references available via simple google search “1976 swine flu pandemic fiasco” for starters. Nothing about stopping at 25 that I could find, but it is a nice easy number...
Even more interesting to me, is that the vaccine of issue then was not a new tech like mRNA. It was the same tech currently in use at the time. They even had to not slaughter the roosters as usual to avoid a delay in production.
The change in corporate insurance carries coverage is also interesting with regard to the indemnification changes at the time. Same tech, change in insurance provider risk philosophy. Special thanks and shout out to the ambulance chaser type lawyers out there... (Side note - next time I get hurt doing something stupid, I think I am going to sue all lawyers for not having already sued and made safe whatever stupid thing I did, but I digress...)
In the end, the scare around a Spanish flu level impact pandemic was wrong, since that was avian instead of swine. Unfortunately at that time the tech didn’t allow for the level of precision available today.
Thanks for pointing, well, not pointing, but peaking my interest to learn more on the subject.
Not saying you are lying, but still have not found a source for the 25 deaths caused the program to be shut down reference you claim.
Might be true, seems like it would be easy to reference like the summary of the history of that event that I referenced, but to each their own I guess...
