“There’s a swine flu epidemic coming….”

These old public service announcements sure are scary! Complete with the baritone voiceover, it’s just like watching a classic Hitchcock movie.

Check out these vintage PSAs from 1976, encouraging Americans to get vaccinated against swine flu.

    my mom took the vaccine in ‘76…both my mom and my aunt got violently sick after their shots….funny…because only one person actually died from that flu strain…but 26 died from the vaccine itself. Go figure!
