Spanish flu was also made up BS. It was not a flu pandemic, it was a consequence of mass mandated vaccination, typhoid (bacterial), malnutrition and wars. It did not kill 100M people, that was a bogus story.
Whatever it was my grandmother who was in her 20s at the time got very ill with something or other. But I'm not sure that the 1918 flu is what we should be looking at. Let's look back at the Hong Kong Flu from 1968. There are more than a few of us who remember that. Nobody had to stay home or any of this other nonsense. They did finally come out with a vaccine but I think by then it had already run its course.
it is possible that something contagious was engineered and released, even inadvertently (then). In the end of 2019/early 2020 several people in my office came down with a "terrible flu" -- they were very sick and said it was the worst ever -- and, however, many of us did not catch it at all -- not even a sniffle. The same thing happened back in early 2014 -- something really severe was going around. Very healthy people were catching it. I did not, even though I was close to some of these folks…
Do you remember the mysterious vaping illness that was going around 6 months before?
I'll bet many of those people had Covid in 2019 when officially it could not have existed. Wasn't one of the symptoms "ground glass opacity" in the lungs, just like Covid? Probably why we don't hear about it anymore.
We bought a bunch of Abbott labs blood antibody tests for Covid specific antibodies. Loads of people told us they were sure they had Covid early on. Nobody tested positive for antibodies. It was only when omicron arrived that we found antibody positive people, so the tests did actually work.
The PCR tests which were the "gold standard" were very easy to manipulate and the cycle thresholds were often set far too high. Plus the problem with mass testing as was done, when the false positive rate (I saw between 0.8 and 4% for the PCR tests) is greater than the percentage of the population infected (I think it reached 0.8% at the very peak of winter 2020 where I am), you are more likely to have a false positive than an actual infection - so meaningless. Then there was Elon tweeting that…
PCR can be run "too many times" When I did them on atherosclerotic plaque research it seems we ran 6 to 8 times? But running them 25 or 30 times is insane.
