There were also all the issues with the 1970s Swine Flu vaccine that turned out to not even be all that effective. 60 Minutes did a piece on it, and it's getting more and more difficult to search for on YouTube:

Just to be clear, since this sounds conspiratorial - it is most likely difficult to search because 60 minutes is a copyrighted show and they have an official YT channel but only carries segments of their episodes. So, I suspect it is quite difficult to find any full episode.

Could be, but several months ago it was very easy to find and now it's buried further and further down. Considering everything YouTube and Twitter have been doing over the past few months to control the narrative, it's also equally likely they're intentionally burying it.

I assume you're referring to the very slight increase in cases of GBS in people who had that particular swine flu vaccine? It's interesting to note that the CDC says that having the flu is more likely to cause GBS than getting the vaccine. Both of those risks are extremely slight.
