In April 1955 more than 200 000 children in five Western and mid-Western USA states received a polio vaccine in which the process of inactivating the live virus proved to be defective. Within days there were reports of paralysis and within a month the first mass vaccination programme against polio had to be abandoned. Subsequent investigations revealed that the vaccine, manufactured by the California-based family firm of Cutter Laboratories, had caused 40 000 cases of polio, leaving 200 children with varying degrees of paralysis and killing 10.
Just 10 weeks into the National Influenza Immunization Program, with nearly 25% of the US population, which was roughly 45 million citizens, vaccinated against swine flu, the vaccine program was finally, and somewhat reluctantly, suspended. [...]
Those who were harmed by the vaccine outnumbered those who were harmed by the influenza virus.
Over 40 people were reported to have died suddenly after the vaccine with no good explanation.
Approximately 500 people developed Guillain-Barre syndrome, and of those 30 died from their paralysis. Several thousand were harmed by the vaccine, and little to none would see compensation for their injuries.
