These vintage PSA’s from the 1976 swine flu outbreak is everything we love about retro PSA’s. Quotes like “Swine flu? I’m too fast for it to catch me!” Or “Betty’s mother gave it to her best friend, Dotty. But Dotty had a heart condition and she died.” I just love the messaging of “Get a swine flu shot or you you will kill your grandmother’s best friend.” They are like trailers for a 1970’s horror film.

Anyone have a mirror?
I found another one and replaced it. Let’s see how long this one lasts.
rights violation on a PSA? is that possible??…I wonder who sent in a take down notice?!
That’s hilarious. I wish they made PSAs like that these days, or maybe they can just revive all the old ones. I think people would pay a lot more attention to them…
Inspiring! The Art of Bleeding just shot and is editing its own swine flu PSA this week. Look for it on ouryoutube channel toward the end of this week.
