The Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918 was caused by vaccinations---E. McBean (Swine Flu Expose)
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf.html
--
http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf1.html
I WAS AN ON-THE-SPOT OBSERVER OF THE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC

All the doctors and people who were living at the time of the 1918 Spanish Influenza epidemic say it was the most terrible disease the world has ever had. Strong men, hale and hearty, one day would be dead the next. The disease had the characteristics of the black death added to typhoid, diphtheria, pneumonia, smallpox, paralysis and all the diseases the people had been vaccinated with immediately following World War 1. Practically the entire population had been injected "seeded" with a dozen or more diseases — or toxic serums. [/b]When all those doctor-made diseases started breaking out all at once it was tragic.

That pandemic dragged on for two years, kept alive with the addition of more poison drugs administered by the doctors who tried to suppress the symptoms. As far as I could find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated. [b]Those who had refused the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all the vaccinations so we remained well all the time. We knew from the health teachings of Graham, Trail, Tilden and others, that people cannot contaminate the body with poisons without causing disease.

When the flu was at its peak, all the stores were closed as well as the schools, businesses — even the hospital, as the doctors and nurses had been vaccinated too and were down with the flu. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. We seemed to be the only family which didn’t get the flu; so my parents went from house to house doing what they could to look after the sick, as it was impossible to get a doctor then. If it were possible for germs, bacteria, virus, or bacilli to cause disease, they had plenty of opportunity to attack my parents when they were spending many hours a day in the sick rooms. But they didn’t get the flu and they didn’t bring any germs home to attack us children and cause anything. None of our family had the flu — not even a sniffle— and it was in the winter with deep snow on the ground.

When I see people cringe when someone near them sneezes or coughs, I wonder how long it will take them to find out that they can’t catch it — whatever it is. The only way they can get a disease is to develop it themselves by wrong eating, drinking, smoking or doing some other things which cause internal poisoning and lowered vitality. All diseases are preventable and most of them are cureable with the right methods, not known to medical doctors, and not all drugless doctors know them either.

It has been said that the 1918 flu epidemic killed 20,000,000 people throughout the world. But, actually, the doctors killed them with their crude and deadly treatments and drugs. This is a harsh accusation but it is nevertheless true, judging by the success of the drugless doctors in comparison with that of the medical doctors.

While the medical men and medical hospitals were losing 33% of their flu cases, the non-medical hospitals such as BATTLE CREEK, KELLOGG and MACFADDEN’S HEALTH-RESTORIUM were getting almost 100% healings with their water cure, baths, enemas, etc., fasting and certain other simple healing methods, followed by carefully worked out diets of natural foods. One health doctor didn’t lose a patient in eight years. The very successful health treatment of one of those drugless doctors who didn’t lose any patients will be given in the other part of this book, titled VACCINATION CONDEMNED, to be published a little later.

If the medical doctors had been as advanced as the drugless doctors, there would not have been those 20 million deaths from the medical flu treatment.

There was seven times more disease among the vaccinated soldiers than among the unvaccinated civilians, and the diseases were those they had been vaccinated against. [/b]One soldier who had returned from overseas in 1912 told me that the army hospitals were filled with cases of infantile paralysis and he wondered why grown men should have an infant disease. [b]Now, we know that paralysis is a common after-effect of vaccine poisoning. Those at home didn’t get the paralysis until after the world-wide vaccination campaign in 1918.

ValCon888:
The Spanish Flu infected 500million people at a time when the world population was around 2billion. It killed 50million people. That's 25% infected and 10% fatality rate.

And for those blaming China for Coronavirus, guess what? The Spanish Flu originated in Kansas, USA.
From the Bubonic Plague in the 14th Century to Covid-19, pandemics will always happen. It's up to mankind to stay ready.

The world will be a better place if everyone thinks like you

The "Spanish" flu is not Spanish. Spanish media reported it hence their association with the flu.

And again, diseases are not human, they don't respect race or nationality. Corona virus is not the Chinese Virus.

There is danger in labels

The write up was a speculation. No iota of fact.

So which virus came with 2G? 3G?

Oh... I remember. 4G was the cause of Ebola.

I read somewhere, some time ago, that even the then US president- Woodrow Wilson- was not spared by the ravaging Spanish flu. He was infected as well and even got hospitalized.

He had caught the flu while he was in the middle of negotiating the famous Treaty of Versailles.

The funniest was that of the King of Spain-Alfonso XIII- himself who also got the "Spanish flu". How fitting? Nature sure has a funny sense of humour I tell y'all. smiley Funny thing is his country had nothing to do with the origins of the virus despite the name. Quite the misnomer.

Emperor Haile Selassie too was also infected. Although at that time, he hadn't become Emperor of Ethiopia.

Although the flu spread around the world in just a few weeks, it seemed to have died down by the end of the summer.
In this statement we can see why Africa is not heavily affected. First of all most of us take at least one bath a day. Some bathe as many as three times daily. The average Caucasian takes a bath once a week or fortnightly, many times without the use of soap. Secondly any virus which can survive our heat for a few hours is one worthy of fear. This means by summer the Coronavirus cases will either drop immensely or disappear. The white man will still stay vigilant to ensure it doesn’t resurface.

Explorers:
Over one hundred years ago, a world recovering from a global war that had killed some 20 million people suddenly had to contend with something even more deadly: a flu outbreak.

The pandemic, which became known as Spanish flu, is thought to have begun in cramped and crowded army training camps on the Western Front.

Between 1918 and 1919, the outbreak spread rapidly across the world, and killed 50 million and 100million people within 15 months.

The speed of the pandemic was shocking; the numbers of dead bodies overwhelmed hospitals and cemeteries.

Quarantine centers, emergency hospitals, public use of gauze masks, and awareness campaigns were all undertaken swiftly to halt the spread.

But as World War I was coming to a close, millions of soldiers were still traveling across the globe, aiding the spread of the disease.

While its exact origins are still debated, it’s understood that the “Spanish Flu” did not come from Spain.

That 50 million figure is a conservative one.According to many reliable sources, the figures were up to 100 million. It was tagged Spanish Flu because it was only the Spanish press reporting it in early stages of the pandemic. But before the new were they were, the PLAGUE had almost pulverised the evidence of that age.

Just asking thou.

You know Northwestern Somalia lost 7% of its population during the Spanish flu outbreak, right? Then it was known as British Somaliland and it had a population of nothing less than 300,000. 7% of 300000 should come to 21,000.
Now, that is chicken feed when compared to Nigeria- then also a British colony- where nothing less than 500,000 died.

Nigeria had a population of less than 20 million at the time of the flu.

In Ethiopia, thousands died too. Even the great Ras Tafari Mekonnen [future Emperor Haile Selassie] wasn't all that lucky. He came down with the flu himself just like his country men.

Thank you for the informative post. Truly, the past is key to the present.

However, according to the history books, I want to believe that the Spanish flu vaccine was later found. How long did it take? What and what was done to produce it?
