Ron Paul already attacked the Swine Flu scam in 1976

If this is old hat to you here, tell me and I'll delete it, but I thought it was a very fine example of Ron Paul's consistancy and thus integrity, over time, and so thought this report from 1976 (33 years ago!) was worth posting:

- Not all of our Congressmen are hopeless. Some are actually on our side. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is also a doctor and is able to see both sides of the swine flu question. Most doctors have tunnel vision and see only one side — the side with the dollar mark.

Congressman Paul, in an interview with the Enquirer (Dec. 21, 1976) said: "I am outraged by this program. It has been a shocking misuse of funds ... and an evil political maneuver. There are people whose careers are in question because of this program. And I predict these blatant advertising efforts to panic the people into taking swine flu shots will fail.

I think Congress has wasted more than one hundred million dollars. The swine flu program should be brought back to Congress and discontinued at once. The program should be stopped, and those who were responsible should be held morally accountable to the American public."

2,000,000 DOSES OF DEFECTIVE SWINE FLU VACCINE CONDEMNED

The haphazard and slipshod methods used by the vaccine makers has produced vaccines that have killed and paralyzed hundreds of people already, and no one seems to be supervising them. There are no safeguards, no tests and no proof of safety and effectiveness required of the vaccine makers except what they, the manufacturers, set for themselves.

The Los Angeles Herald Examiner (June, 3, 1976) published an AP report stating that the experimental "vaccine ready for testing on elderly and high risk cases was found to be defective. As a result, the program would be delayed 6 weeks. The Public Health Service said that 2,000,000 doses will be held in reserve for use if the correct vaccine is in short supply."

They admit it is a bad batch---too dangerous to use---and it is condemned, yet they didn’t destroy it as they should have done. They intend to use it anyway--if they can get away with it---who would know the difference, (seems to be their attitude) as long as they can sell it and make money.

Sounds very 2009-ish and familiar, doesn't it?
