Bill opens the broadcast with news of suspension of the nationwide Swine Flu vaccination program, after 12 people (all elderly) died within hours of receiving vaccines, apparently from heart attacks; Michigan state health director Maurice Reizen ordered a halt after 3 in his state died, and 10,000 Michiganders had received shots up to then; a clip of President Ford (being interviewed by an off-camera Barbara Walters) saying he and his family intend to get their shots; the CDC insists that none of the deaths were related to the vaccine.
