Swine flu PSAs from 1976!

Three decades ago there was another swine flu scare. In retrospect, the government then over-reacted and a lot of folks who received the flu shot got sick from that. Some even died.

But I must admit: even knowing that, these public service announcements from 1976 about swine flu are darkly hilarious...

Thanks to Lee Shelton for finding these!

    That second one was just morbid. The narrator sounded almost happy about it when she said "But Dotty had a heart condition and she died. But BEFORE she died..." Creepy. And the music, that was straight out of a Nightmare on Elm Street or something.
