And he too lost his re-election bid. To Jimmy Carter, the worst president in modern times. Amazing how Trump also loses to the obvious front runner of worst presidencies.

Wired
quote:

March 24, 1976: Ford Orders Swine-Flu Shots for All

Trump shut the country down on March 16th of an election year. Hmmmmmm, just a coincidence, right? RIGHT?
quote:

Ford was acting on the advice of medical experts, who believed they were dealing with a virus potentially as deadly as the one that caused the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic.

And Trump was only acting on the advice of medical experts too. By the way, where was Fauci in 1976
quote:

In 1968, Fauci joined the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a clinical associate in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases's (NIAID) Laboratory of Clinical Investigation (LCI). He became head of the LCI's Clinical Physiology Section in 1974

So Fauci was head of the lab looking into this outbreak, that was advising Ford? It's like a badly written movie script at this point.
quote:

Fearing another plague, the nation's health officials urged Ford to authorize a mass inoculation program aimed at reaching every man, woman and child. He did, to the tune of $135 million ($500 million in today's money).

And what happened, you ask?
quote:

Mass vaccinations started in October, but within weeks reports started coming in of people developing Guillain-Barré syndrome, a paralyzing nerve disease, right after taking the shot. Within two months, 500 people were affected, and more than 30 died. Amid a rising uproar and growing public reluctance to risk the shot, federal officials abruptly canceled the program Dec. 16.

And the current adverse effects dwarf what happened in 1976. And what is the solution. More shots!!

Nothing's changed except the names. Other than Fauci, I mean.

And not one major media outlet has made this association. It's like it never happened.

Due to the Internet, and their ability to censor the opposition, they have successfully used the fear factor to produce mass hysteria.

This can't be real. There's no way our media is that bad.

How did you come across this article? It's dated from 2008. Far too many parallels to be coincidence, but the author wouldn't have known that 12 years ago. fricking Fauci can't help but kill people.

I like this part:

quote:

History's verdict of the program is mixed. Critics assail Ford, accusing him of grandstanding during an election year -- it did him no good, because he lost anyway -- while kowtowing to the pharmaceutical companies


Ah yes...simpler times (March 2008) when a magazine like Wired was still interested in calling out Big Pharma.
