How many people 100 years ago thought the Spanish Flu (100 million dead) was a "nothingburger"?

No clue, but they also didn’t wash their hands like we do today.

Poor sanitation back then. We have better sanitation and hygiene today. Not comparable.

Good point.

It also took 3-5 months to cross the Pacific Ocean, and nobody could travel across the world in mere hours back then.

Any comments?

The media of the time, the newspapers actually were downplaying it!

They were essentially reassuring people in a dishonest way that IT’S JUST THE FLU.”

100 million dead

Well considering spanish flu hit like a mac truck (unlike the corona virus's current joke of an impact) not many.

Should go educate yourself about the history before sticking your giant foot in your mouth.

It was germ warfare by the Rothschilds and Rockefeller's created on home soil which is where it was first observed.

It wasn't even a virus. There is no such thing as a virus.

They didn't die from the flu. It was germ warfare. That's why it hit pockets so hard and fast. The common cold does not behave that way.

Or the Bolshevik genocide when Zionist I’d slaughtered a real 36 MILLION white Christians.

Was that a nothing burger?

20 times more than the nazi Holocaust.

Good point.

I'm sure the lack of vitamin C, on 3-5 month trips across the ocean, resulted in quite a few cases of scurvy and also weakened their immune systems which would of contributed to the mortality rate.

I can't prove a negative. It's up to you to prove viruses exist. To do that you will need to purify one from an "infected" patient and photograph it through an electron microscope. Describe the process. Should be a very simple task.

No virologist to date has done so though but knock yourself out.

There was no holocaust, Moishe

It was a virus, not a germ.
H1N1

That's a really great connection, Callin. Thanks for bringing that to our collective attention!

Trump's ancestors thought Spanish flu was a nothing burger lol.

100 years ago I don't believe we even knew what a virus was, let alone how to prevent and treat.
Big difference.
Technology is our saving grace this time.

I think you’ve got 1718 mixed up with 1918.

they also didn't have a globally "instant" communication and media network

it took quite a while for "news" to travel around the world back then

"By the early 20th century, when Robert Falcon Scott made his first expedition to the Antarctic (1901–1904), the prevailing theory was that scurvy was caused by "ptomaine poisoning", particularly in tinned meat.

"Until that time, scurvy had not been observed in any organism apart from humans and had been considered an exclusively human disease. Certain birds, mammals, and fish are susceptible to scurvy, but pigeons are unaffected, since they can synthesize ascorbic acid internally..."

Viruses don't exist. They have never isolated H1N1 from a patient tissue sample and viewed it under an electron microscope. Not just H1N1 but ANY virus.


If you can prove otherwise contact Dr Stefan Lanka and collect his 100k Euro bounty.

Wow. Good luck with all that, AC...

100 yrs ago there was no fast travel of news until the news slapped you in the face with an "OH SHIT".

And yet, now that we DO have nearly instantaneous communication, and 24-hour "news"... still half the people in America cannot or will not see the wolf at their door. Will not admit that they hear the scratching and howling. Cannot admit that they are seeing the shadow of the death silhouetted through the window by the moonlight of Truth...

"The more things change, the more they stay the same..."

Before clusters of Spanish flu appeared people reported strange lights in the sky.

Same thing with the plague.
