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.

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.
There’s a FReeper who posts similar content about Polio. That FReeper says the vaccinated military contracted polio and the spin factor sold the story about how it saved us. I dunno, I know there were failed attempts at the polio vaccine.
Why you posting such silliness?
Beggin for a banhammer.
Well, of course it is true! It’s real simple. After spending billion - actually trillions - we are now reporting more cases per day than we did before over 60% of the country became vaccinated.
Oh, that’s smart. Real smart!
Go government.
There were NO vaccines available against the “Spanish” flu—
which was called “Spanish” because Spain was the only neutral country during WWI whose journalists reported the Avian flu that came from US soldiers coming into France, having acquired the swine flu originally in Fort Riley US Army Base, Kansas.
The swine flu jumped species from humans to birds/chickens in France and thence over to Spain via the traveling between the war zone and Spain.
There was never a vaccine against the coronavirus Spanish flu— because they never had gene analysis to make one, and also because this flu was zoonotic- from one animal to another, there never could be a “vaccine” just as now. The animal reservoir which could be anywhere does not assure protection- that and the fact that the current vaccine is NOT of the virion’s content— just the Spike protein segment clip.
Prior to this, say in the Revolutionary War time, vaccines were made at great risk from the live Smallpox virus from sores on usually still living (sometimes not, as in, from newly dead). The risk of live virus stuck under the skin— was death from the “vaccine”. It was Edward Jenner who used dried “killed” cowpox dust to vaccinate against Smallpox— but this was in the UK and after the epidemic time before and during the American Revolution. Edward Jenner was able to help Napoleon’s troops be safely vaccinated, and was awarded a medal by Napoleon for saving French empire.
Ummm this story sounds like a total historical fabrication.
I don’t know what sort of BS this is, but it smacks of PSYOPS by the establishment and CERTAINLY isn’t news.
Merits the zot.
Contrary to what some posters are stating, there were vaccines being researched, developed and administered...
Not saying the article’s theory is correct, but it should not be dismissed due to erroneous comments about no vaccines existing.

Here is a YouTube video — short Dave Barry discusses the propaganda and censorship issues that emerged during the Spanish Flu...He wrote a fairly detailed book on the Subject of Spanish Flu, The Great Influenza.
History repeating itself? Who knows, maybe the article’s claims which you posted are not all that far fetched.
From the video, Sedition Act. Over 100,000 informants with badges dispatched to report anyone who criticized the government—subject to up to 20 YEARS IN PRISON for doing so...One Congressman was sentenced to 15 years, and a Wisconsin newspaper was charged...But charges dropped as Pandemic receded. It was dark time back then...
Criticizing government?!?! Where have we been hearing that recently...

On the face of it, this article in and of itself seems to be a “make right wingers” look like dopes. There may be some nuggets in there, but there is plenty to rip apart.
In general “to good to be true for your/our side” stuff is often just that. In many instances the website fine print will have statements like “education and entertainment” or entertainment only.
It’s hard to read because it’s complete and utter BS!
“There was no Spanish Flu: it was bacterial meningitis caused by vaccines”
BTW, Sal Martingano is a Chiropractor and was Bean was a Naturopath who wrote a number of self-published fact-challenged anti-vaccination books in the 1950’s through the 70’s.

Wonder how many people those experimental vaxxes killed...
Not true. People were dying long before the vaccine
Officials at the time didn’t even know if the illness was bacterial or viral. There were no flu vaccines until the 40’s.
