[quote:Anonymous Coward 79611648:MV80ODI5OTk2Xzg4MTU2MzM5X0JBOEIwNTZG] Even though it was 100 years ago it shows the media hasn't changed. They tried to cover it up, here's a tidbit from an article. The Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain, though news coverage of it did. During World War I, Spain was a neutral country with a free media that covered the outbreak from the start, first reporting on it in Madrid in late May of 1918. Meanwhile, Allied countries and the Central Powers had wartime censors who covered up news of the flu to keep morale high. Because Spanish news sources were the only ones reporting on the flu, many believed it originated there (the Spanish, meanwhile, believed the virus came from France and called it the “French Flu.”) [/quote]

As title, the Spanish Flu killed 50 million in a two year period then seemingly got bored and just.....disappeared?
Seriously though, what happened to it? The general consensus on Google is that everybody just developed a "collective immunity" to it.
No jabbs and a naturally, healthier evolution in the human immune system.
