Fascinating account of decision-making over flu vaccine,
This review is from: The Swine Flu Affair: Decision-Making on a Slippery Disease (Paperback)
This report was commissioned by the Federal government and undertaken by two Harvard professors. It was undertaken so that decision-makers faced with similar situations in the future could learn from the swine flu fiasco of the mid-1970s. Even though this report was written more than 30 years ago, much of what was learned from that previous episode has relevance today. This report really should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in protecting public health from hazards of uncertain impact.

Let's talk about the Bird Flu... Remember the Swine Flu?,
By Xavi (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Swine Flu Affair: Decision-Making on a Slippery Disease (Paperback)
Remember President Ford going on television and bravely rolling up his sleeve to get his vaccination? We wonder what inducements prompted Ford and Congress to let themselves be talked into financing the vaccine and paying the ensuing damage costs. Death and disasters were reported, many were hushed up by the vaccine promoters. Is history repeating itself? Everyone whould be adding this to their bookshelves.
