Check this out. In 1976 there was a warning about a big swine flu epidemic. A lot of people got vaccinated and died from the vaccination or suffered neurological damage.
It turned out to be a scam. Here is a news report about it by Mike Wallace which exposed the scam. It was aired only once and never shown again. See it here:

So you see, a lot of what you are told are lies. Authority and media does NOT equal truth.
Here also are two short commercials in 1976 urging you to get vaccinated for swine flu.
