Mystery of dad's 1958 death solved!
« on: January 04, 2012, 10:09:27 am »
Debbie Rashkin's father never got sick. He seemed indestructible to her.

David Wagner survived Pacific combat in World War II. As a 6-footer, he was a solid man who awoke before dawn, worked six days a week in his candy store and never missed a day.

But in early 1958, Wagner came down with what seemed to be the flu. Soon, he was too weak to climb out of bed. A few days later, he died at age 36.

The cause of death was listed as chronic hepatitis. But that didn't make sense to the family. How could a man in seemingly perfect health die so suddenly?

Read the full tale in the Tampa Bay Times...

this is more than a little scary. how many vaccine's over the years had problems like this? now i see why they want anyone over 40 something to get tested. we could have spread the virus to anyone who served in the military over the years.

at least here they are taking accountability for it even if it took a little media pressure to get it done.
