The COVID Con is the '76 Swine Flu Fiasco on Steroids

In a social media feed Monday, I came across a 1979 60 Minutes segment on the propaganda surrounding the 1976 swine flu panic.

Exaggerations of the bugs' severity, media propaganda and fear-mongering, an effort to vaccinate the whole nation, serious vaccine-coincident side-effects, and an apparent government cover-up of the latter were all elements of the '76 fiasco just as they epitomize what's occurring today.

"The flu season is upon us. Which type will we worry about this year, and what kind of shots will we be told to take? Remember the swine flu scare of 1976? That was the year the U.S. government told us all that swine flu could turn out to be a killer that could spread across the nation, and Washington decided that every man, woman and child in the nation should get a shot to prevent a nation-wide outbreak, a pandemic."

"Well, 46 million of us obediently took the shot, and now 4,000 Americans are claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a half billion dollars because of what happened when they took that shot. By far the greatest number of the claims - two thirds of them - are for neurological damage, or even death, allegedly triggered by the flu shot." -(Transcript hat tip: WanttoKnow.

While Wallace was a liberal, the media was not so much in the Establishment tank that it wouldn't expose its day's "COVID" con.

Thus did Wallace talk about the "U.S. government's publicity machine," reveal lies told by officials and grill ex-CDC head Dr. David Sencer, who devised and pushed the swine flu program and who looked in his interview a bit like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Could you imagine Dr. Mouth being likewise grilled by the mainstream media today? Imagining it is a nice fantasy for anyone who'd like to see the imperious Dr. Mouth take one on the chin, but it's a fanciful fantasy.
