How do people's heads not implode from negative intelligence when they start believing all this #conspiracy_theories BS? https://social.handholding.io/objects/19dc580b-352d-4a63-9293-47ce1e2b006c
"... by the way, the 1918 flu epidemic was caused by a botched experimental vaccine from the Rockefeller Institute, initiated at Ft. Riley by the US Military. Later, this inconvenient fact was buried and covered in misdirection ("spanish flu")."

> In one article, the authors write, “There seems to be no justification for the belief that the epidemic was due to the influenza bacillus, which is probably a secondary invader and bears about the same relation to the influenza cases as to respiratory infections of a different sort” (Lord 1919).
I don't think they knew about viruses yet in 1919, so it makes sense that they hadn't observed any distinct pathogen in 100% of the cases.
What we do have is samples from frozen corpses which were isolated fairly recently (I'd say sometime after 2000) which had influenza viruses.
