This advice from the U.S. government during the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak is "more holistic than everything we have been fed for the past 2 years"

A lot can change in 100 years, and not always for the better.

The Spanish Flu killed at least 25 million people worldwide – many of them young and healthy. Compare this document from the U.S. government a century ago to what God-of-Science Fauci and the White House is saying today:

Imagine if the government had told people this with Covid. UV light vaporizes the 'Rona, so closing parks while locking people in their homes (especially for an aerosolized virus) was about the dumbest thing governments could have done. Who knows how many vulnerable people were infected because of that backwards thinking?

More evidence that this country is devolving.

But wait, there is nothing there about masks. They’ve been telling us everyone wore masks during the Spanish Flu.

That bit about calomel cathartics is a bit questionable.

“Fight the disease rationally, and do not become unduly alarmed” — that’s timeless advice.

Great post—strong evidence that Homo Sapiens has gotten much dumber over the past hundred years.

If our government health services had published this at the outset of Covid, it would be over by now. But, that is not their aim.

Is not Bacillus a bacteria? Does that mean the Spanish flu was a bacteria and not a virus?

Spain formally denied the existence of a pandemic... soldiers were given 25 toxic injections

Says “cover mouth with handkerchief”.

Also, there are pictures of people wearing clothes masks.

Most deaths were actually caused by bacterial pneumonia rather than the flu virus alone.

Fauci’s 2008 paper which reviewed the Spanish flu determined most people died from pneumonia. The conclusion made in the 2008 paper is that America should stockpile antibiotics in case there is another viral epidemic, since people die from secondary bacterial infections. There was no mention of masks.

Don’t know why this says “Bacillus,” as this was definitely an influenza virus. The Bacillus bacteria are rod-shaped. I have no idea of what such virus particles look like, but perhaps these reminded the scientist of such bacteria. Just guessing here.

And, of course, the nomenclature has surely changed a great deal over these 100 plus years.

They did not have penicillin or any other antibiotics in 1918. Many people, especially the old, died from bacterial pneumonia back then.

Nice find. History will not be kind to the response in the West to this virus.

However, there are powerful forces that have a much larger purpose for this virus (control) and they are trying hard to achieve it and failing.

This will come at a great political price for them here and elsewhere as more and more people realize the truth.

IIRC, the placed hospital beds outdoors...fresh air and sunshine...the opposite of what we were told to do.

In the mornings, nurses took walks to fortify their systems with fresh air and sunshine.

Here in 2020, people were FORCED to stay in (no jobs and everything was closed). Then they found out that almost 70% of new cases were people who had been "shut in". Cuomo was stunned.

Enter Fauci...open the windows...get outside....special HVAC filters....

And finally, after months, he mentions that he takes Vit D (sunshine vitamin).

Plenty of pictures of people in masks during this.
