I have no idea if this tale is true or where I read it. Fact, Swine flu was reported among a small group of service men at Fort Dix in 1976. The tale is that Intelligence learned that Russiaicon intended to introduce a strain of the Swine Flu into the US just to see what would happen. President Ford responded by a massive Inoculation Program which made Ford look foolish when there wasn't an epidemic, and maybe cost him the election. Foolish, but I kind of like the idea that he would sacrifice the election for his country.
