"In what is now known as "the Great Swine Flu Massacre," the President of the
United States, Gerald Ford, was enlisted to persuade the public to undergo a
national vaccination campaign. The moving force behind the scheme was a $135
million windfall profit for the major drug manufacturers. They had a "swine flu"
vaccine which suspicious pig raisers had refused to touch, fearful it might wipe
out their crop. The manufacturers had only tried to get $80 million from the
swine breeders; balked in this sale, they turned to the other market, humans.
The impetus for the national swine flu vaccine came directly from the Disease
Control Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Perhaps coincidentally, Jimmy Carter, a
member of the Trilateral Commission, was then planning his presidential campaign
in Georgia. The incumbent President, Gerald Ford, had
all the advantages of a massive bureaucracy to aid him in his election campaign,
while the ineffectual and little known. Jimmy Carter offered no serious threat
to the election. Suddenly, out of Atlanta, came the Centre
for Disease Control plan for a national immunization
campaign against "swine flu." The fact that there was not a single
known case of this flu in the United States did not deter the Medical Monopoly
from their scheme. The swine breeders had been shocked
by the demonstrations of the vaccine on a few pigs,
which had collapsed and died. One can imagine the
anxious inferences in the headquarters of the great drug firms,
until one bright young man remarked, "Well, if the
swine breeders won't inject it into their animals, our
only other market is to inject it into people."
The Ford-sponsored swine flu
campaign almost died an early death, when a conscientious public servant, Dr.
Anthony Morris, formerly of HEW and then active as director of the Virus Bureau
of the Food and Drug Administration, declared that there could be no authentic
swine flu vaccine, because there had never teen any cases of swine flu on which
they could test it. Dr. Morris then went public with his statement that "at no
point were the swine flu vaccines effective." He was promptly fired, but the
damage had been done. The damage control consisted of that great humanitarian,
Walter Cronkite, and the President of the United States, combining their
forces to come to the rescue of the Medical Monopoly. Walter Cronkite had
President Ford appear on his news program to urge the American people to submit
to the inoculation with the swine flu vaccine. CBS then or later could never
find any reason to air any analysis or scientific critique of the swine flu
vaccine, which was identified as containing many toxic poisons, including alien
viral protein panicles, formaldehyde, thimerosal (a
derivative of poisonous mercury), polysorbate and some eighty other substances.
Meanwhile, back at the virus laboratories, after Dr. Anthony Morris has been
summarily fired, a special team of workers was rushed in to clean out the four
rooms in which he had conducted his scientific tests. The laboratory was filled
with animals whose records verified his claims, representing some three yean of
constant research. All of thr animals were immediately destroyed, and Morris'
records were burned. They did net go so far as to sow
salt throughout the area, because they believed their job was done.
On April I5,
1976, Congress passed Public Law 94-266, which provided $135 million of
taxpayers' funds to pay for a national swine flu inoculation campaign. HEW was
to distribute the vaccine to state and local health agencies on a national basis
for inoculation, at no charge. Insurance agencies then went public with their
warning that they would not insure drug firms against possible studies from the
results of swine flu inoculation, because no studies had been carried out which
could predict its effects. It was to foil the insurance companies that CBS had
Gerald Ford make his impassioned appeal to 215,000,000 Americans to save
themselves while there was still time, and to rush down to the friendly local
health department and get the swine flu vaccination, at absolutely no charge.
This may have been CBS' finest hour in its distinguished career of "public
service."
Hardly had the swine flu campaign
been completed than the reports of the casualties began to pour in. Within a few
months, claims totalling $1.3 billion had been filed by victims who had suffered
paralysis from the swine flu vaccine. The medical authorities proved equal to
the challenge; they leaped to the defense of the Medical Monopoly by labeling
the new epidemic, "Guillain-Barre Syndrome." There have since been increasing
speculations that the ensuing epidemic of AIDS which began shortly after Gerald
Ford's public assurances, were merely a viral variation of the swine flu
vaccine. And what of the perpetrator of the Great Swine Flu Massacre, President
Gerald Ford? As the logical person to blame for the catastrophe, Ford had to
endure a torrent of public criticism, which quite naturally resulted in his
defeat for election (he had previously been appointed when the agents of the
international drag operations had ushered Richard Nixon out of office). The
unknown Jimmy Carter, familiar only to the supersecret
fellow members of the Trilateral Commission, was swept into office by the
outpouring of rage against Gerald Ford. Carter proved to be almost as serious a
national disaster as the swine flu epidemic, while Gerald Ford was retired from
politics to life. Not only did he lose the election, he was also sentenced to
spend his remaining years trudging wearily up and down the hot sandy stretches
of the Palm Springs Golf course. --Eustace
