Predominant Role of Bacterial Pneumonia as a Cause of Death in Pandemic Influenza: Implications for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness

The Journal of Infectious Diseases ^ | 10/01/08 | Anthony Fauci, David M.. Morens, Jeffery K. Taubenberger

[Enlightened1]

Abstract

Background. Despite the availability of published data on 4 pandemics that have occurred over the past 120 years, there is little modern information on the causes of death associated with influenza pandemics.

Methods. We examined relevant information from the most recent influenza pandemic that occurred during the era prior to the use of antibiotics, the 1918–1919 “Spanish flu”; pandemic. We examined lung tissue sections obtained during 58 autopsies and reviewed pathologic and bacteriologic data from 109 published autopsy series that described 8398 individual autopsy investigations.

Results. The postmortem samples we examined from people who died of influenza during 1918–1919 uniformly exhibited severe changes indicative of bacterial pneumonia. Bacteriologic and histopathologic results from published autopsy series clearly and consistently implicated secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory-tract bacteria in most influenza fatalities.

Conclusions. The majority of deaths in the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory-tract bacteria. Less substantial data from the subsequent 1957 and 1968 pandemics are consistent with these findings. If severe pandemic influenza is largely a problem of viral-bacterial copathogenesis, pandemic planning needs to go beyond addressing the viral cause alone (e.g., influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs). Prevention, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of secondary bacterial pneumonia, as well as stockpiling of antibiotics and bacterial vaccines, should also be high priorities for pandemic planning.

They concluded masks are the main vector of causing the Ammonia and not the Spanish Flu. Which caused most of the deaths.

[Husker24]

Ammonia?

[sockhead]

My coworkers wear their fabric masks that I know they don’t wash. All I see is filth and disease

[Enlightened1]

Please edit “Ammonia” to “Pneumonia” in your title.

[P-Marlowe]

Fauchi was appointed by Trump.

Fauchi wants everyone to wear masks all day long.

Fauchi knows democrats will OBEY.

Fauchi knows Republicans will rebel.

Fauchi knows that masks can kill.

Tell your Democrat friends that Fauchi is trying to kill them.

Can you fix the title? Ammonia=pneumonia

[Sacajaweau]

Fauci is supposedly using the 1918 epidemic as a guide. It's in his blathering someplace.

We do know that they created OUTDOOR hospitals and that nurses took morning UNMASKED walks before going to their jobs.

Fauci on the other hand confined us to our homes with the same stagnant air.

And then SUDDENLY...he said....get outside in the sun and fresh air.

Let's be real....we're nothing more than his lab rats.

Every time I wear that mask for more than a few minutes, I am coughing and have severe lung pain for days afterwards.

Ugh.

Where are masks mentioned?

[heartwood]

The words “ammonia” and “mask” do not appear in the article. Did you mean “pneumonia?”

Secondary bacterial infections are a known complication of viral respiratory infections. The thickened mucus and inflammation, injury to cilia, etc. provide a favorable environment for bacterial growth, with or without masks.

Maybe ask the mods to put the thread out of its misery.

Lock him up

Where are the masks mentioned in that study?

Hopefully fauci will be fired on Wednesday.

Someone should confront Fauci with this. Ask him what has changed since tis study. If he has a good answer, it would be helpful.

Flu Masks Failed In 1918, But We Need Them Now

Evaluating The Use Of Masks

Did masks prevent the spread of influenza?

Experts reviewing evidence from 1918 concluded that flu masks failed to control infection.

In December 1918, the American Public Health Association recommended that the “wearing of proper masks” should be compulsory for medical staff, occupations such as “barbers, dentists, etc.,” and “all who are directly exposed to infection.”

The committee also found, however, that the evidence “as to beneficial results consequent on the enforced wearing of masks by the entire population at all times was contradictory,” and thus the committee did not recommend “the widespread adoption of this practice.”

The committee did recommend that persons “who desire to wear masks” should be “instructed as to how to make and wear proper masks, and encouraged to do so.”


In 1919, Wilfred Kellogg’s study for the California State Board of Health concluded that mask ordinances “applied forcibly to entire communities” did not decrease cases and deaths, as confirmed by comparisons of cities with widely divergent policies on masking.

Masks were used most frequently out in public, where they were least effective, whereas masks were removed when people went inside to work or socialize, where they were most likely to be infected.

Kellogg found the evidence persuasive: “The case against the mask as a measure of compulsory application for the control of epidemics appears to be complete.”


In a comprehensive study published in 1921, Warren T. Vaughn declared “the efficacy of face masks is still open to question.”

The problem was human behavior: Masks were used until they were filthy, worn in ways that offered little or no protection, and compulsory laws did not overcome the “failure of cooperation on the part of the public.” Vaughn’s sobering conclusion: “It is safe to say that the face mask as used was a failure.”
