The Spanish Flu is not from Spain. They called it the Spanish Flu because Spain's news was not censored, and reported to the public cases that happened there. Many countries did not. But there is compelling evidence that the Spanish Flu originated from Ft. Riley and was created by the Rockefellers. https://www.winterwatch.net/2021/06/the-truth-revealed-about-the-deadly-1918-spanish-flu-it-was-actually-bacterial-pneumonia/
During the war years of 1918 to 1919, the U.S. Army ballooned to 6 million men, of which 2 million were sent overseas. In 1918 the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research took advantage of this new pool of human guinea pigs to conduct vaccine experiments. In January 1918, vaccines were administered to soldiers at Ft. Riley, Kansas.
THE VACCINE USED WAS MADE IN THE LAB OF THE ROCKEFELLER INSTITUTE.
Between Jan. 21 and June 4 of 1918, Dr. Frederick L. Gates reported an experiment in which soldiers were given three doses of a bacterial meningitis vaccine derived from the serum of horses. Dr. Gates wrote that men in the experiment showed flu-like symptoms, including cough, vomiting and diarrhea, after receiving the vaccine.
Then, shortly before breakfast on Monday, March 11, came the commencement of the first wave of the 1918 so-called influenza. By noon, camp surgeon Edward R. Schreiner had over 100 sick men on his hands, all apparently “suffering from the same malady.” US military was sent to Europe and other countries spreading the flu.
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the deadliest in history, infected an estimated 500 million people worldwide—about one-third of the planet’s population—and killed an estimated 20 million to 50 million victims, including some 675,000 Americans.
I found out on Father’s Day that my great grandfather lost both of his parents to the “Spanish flu”.
Nobody died from the Spanish flu in my family, as far as I know. My grandfather helped dress the dead at the funeral home, because they were overloaded and needed the help. He never got sick. His father died in 1918, but it was stomach cancer. I've never had the flu, so I guess my family is naturally immune.
Sorry for your losses. God Bless Your Family.
Aw thanks. Obviously I didn’t know those ones but it was interesting to find out about my great grandfather’s upbringing. And it kind of shines a light on why that side of the family was a little nuts when it came to Covid. In addition, my grandfather had TB for a year when he was a child, so the fear of lung diseases was sort of passed down.
I had a great great uncle who served in ww1 as a stretcher bearer die of influenza in 1919 in France no other ancestors died of it
So sorry for your loss too. May he RIP.
