For the record, I'm not anti-All vaccine. Mostly, I'm anti COVID vax. But I've started to question many other vaccines and this year I'm bypassing the flu vaccine as well.
While I still think "vaccine causes autism" is a bit of a stretch, I can't help but wonder if my sympathies have fallen on the wrong place.
1917 is when the flu actually began in China, same as the other diseases.
1918 is when we heard of it, because Spain wasn't in WWI and reported on ordinary news. They reported the flu first, so it was called the Spanish flu.
I don't think shots had much to do with it, as many thousands of people died who had never been in the military or had any shots of any kind ever.
