Whether SARS 2 or war or creative destruction of the horse and buggy, some people think that others cannot handle the truth and it is in everyone’s best interest that the public believes lies rather than the truth.

This belief is at the individual level, the family level, and the national and international level. The truth hurts.

We cannot handle the truth. Some believe it is true.

The spike protein is known to be harmful and therefore those with co-morbidities and/or compromised immune systems would be most affected. The side effects of these spike proteins is known and there is no excuse for the injection of them knowingly into patients.

My Grandmother, on my father side of the family died as a result of this epidemic, in late October 1918 ... less than two weeks before the end of WWI. My father was five years old and his sister (my aunt) 3 years old. My grandfather remarried a few years later and had children from his second marriage.

Steve Milloy, the owner of the junk science website has done extensive research on the Spanish Flu for anyone who is interested.

My gramdmafied in early 1919, leaving my grandpa with five children, my mon at 3 and her broyher at 4. The three older sisters were of an age able to take care of themselves, but not so as to look after the two youngers what with school and cooking and all. But grandpa had to work toprovide, so he had to turn over the younger ones for foster care. Realy good foster parents were found for them, two different families. Eventually, both were adopted, and were raised well. We never lost track of my grandpa and aunts, and visited with them through the years.

Lives go on.

The problem with pulling anything from the internet of lies, regarding the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, is the truth has been removed or manipulated.

Your best option to have any meaningful discussion on this is to locate old history books or hardbound encyclopedias.

How do I know this? At the start of 2020 when they began demanding mask wearing...the study of mask wearing from the 1918 pandemic showing they didn’t help...disappeared from the internet of lies.

“Airborne” respiratory viruses like COVID were always portrayed as unstoppable in movies and in science until COVID. Amazing how easily everyone forgot this fact.

I read a story a long time ago about an island where during the 1918 flu pandemic no one came to or left the island, but all inhabitants of the Island died of the flu during the pandemic. The implication being, the virus found them “in the wind.”

In my area, I see maybe one in a hundred wearing a mask. Perhaps, 1 in 5 of those people actually have the mask over their nose. Most just pull it down on their chin.

That is correct.

My grandfather was a young man. My mother was one year old.

My grandmother once said, “One day he had a sore throat. The next day he was gone.”

Oddly enough, I learned about that from reading a Michael Crichton novel.
I can’t recall which one, as I read them all.
Andromeda Strain makes logical sense to me…

of course they survived, otherwise you and your parents wouldn’t have been born...Mine survived too.
