I read that all they had to treat that flu was aspirin.
Right.
Spanish flu deaths were very high in most of the world. Only a tiny fraction of its victim could have possibly gotten the experimental flu vaccines which were mistakenly based on bacteria. They din’t even know it was a virus.
This story doesn’t seem plausible to me.
There weren’t any flu vaccines until the early part of WWII.
I used to tell my students who attended a certain rural church to look for tombstones that showed whole families who died in 1919. There were several.
For a good overview of what the ‘Spanish Flu’ was and how devastating it was I recommend this YouTube:

This story has been around, and debunked, for years. At this point, it’s just lying.
“ Very well could have been vaxx related.”
Except there were no flu vaccines in 1918 or for many years afterward.
My grandfather died of it, and he sure as hell wasn’t vaccinated. Article is bullshit.
The Spanish Flu was indeed a contagious virus. Polio is indeed caused by the poliovirus, not exposure to chemicals. Please stop posting this nonsense.
Well the actual Flu doesn’t really kill you.
Almost all deaths attributed to the flu are from the pneumonia.
I read that most of the 1918 flu deaths were due to aspirin overdoses ?
I am surprised no one has mentioned this
My mother’s cousin died of it at age 2.
She was born a few years later and survived polio years before a vaccine was available.
That had it rough in those days.
She ended up dying last year of non-covid related issues.
It’s nonsense and not remotely true. It wasn’t until the 1930s that researchers even figured out that influenza was caused by a virus, much less having a vaccine for it.
There were a few vaccine attempts made during the 1918 epidemic but they were bacteria based. They would have had zero effect on the flu virus. At best they might have generated some antibodies against the strep, staph and bacterial pneumonia that they were based upon.

“It seems to me that the Spanish Flu took an inordinate number of healthy young adults. “
Cytokine storms will do that. Hybrid zoonotic-human flu can provoke cytokine storms
Don’t bother, he’s full-on crackpottiin’.
Antibiotics only stop bacterial pneumonia. Pneumonia is simply a lung infection that can be caused by numerous bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens.
“Please stop posting this nonsense.”
But if the Q vax fear porn Believers are prohibited from posting nonsense their daily flood of posts will come to a crashing halt. And FR’s collective IQ will rise. Do we want that?
You’re right. Had you heard that inordinate numbers of healthy young people were dying in relation to the normal fatal victims of flu, the elderly and very young? I could be mistaken about that as well.
Read “The Great Influenza”. The top medical researchers of the time didn’t know what they were dealing with much less how to make vaccines for it.
Well I guess that about covers it. Probably not based on fact.
I do get a kick out of watching all the Vaxx Covidian’s get triggered though so for pure entertainment value this was a worthy thread.
