Vetting of articles need to happen.
THIS is extremely questionable even for us.
But... something is going on.
Keep digging Patriots!

Fake news. There's literally nothing to support this wingnut's version of events.

That is interesting to know that it was not influenza but instead was a bacterial pnumonia. I've heard people push the flu shot and reffference the Spanish flu to emphasize how bad the flu can get.
Interesting theory he came up with about the vaccines being the original cause. Could very well be true but there was no evidence to support that part, but the bacterial pnumonia part is verifiable.

Bacterial pneomonia is real and can be treated/prevented with things like HCQ and quinine. "Flus" are made up bullshit

That's very interesting. Has there been research on HCQ for bacterial pnumonia that you know of?

The first flu vaccine was in the 1940s....the US Army and Jonas Salk
I believed it too, but noticed that pics of kids getting the shot were from the 40s/50's not earlier

According to Wikipedia there was a vaccine attempt for the 1917 “Spanish Flu”
“In the worldwide Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, "Physicians tried everything they knew, everything they had ever heard of, from the ancient art of bleeding patients, to administering oxygen, to developing new vaccines and serums (chiefly against what we now call Hemophilus influenzae – a name derived from the fact that it was originally considered the etiological agent – and several types of pneumococci). Only one therapeutic measure, transfusing blood from recovered patients to new victims, showed any hint of success."[183]

The history of vaccines back well into the 18th century...
“The smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease. In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus.”
