The Spanish flu was a myth
Summary
Michael Bryant argues that the "Spanish flu" was a fabricated narrative used to cover up mass deaths caused by WWI chemical warfare, poor sanitation, and experimental vaccinations. He highlights the anomalous mortality of young males and cites the Rosenau experiment as evidence against pathogen transmission. Bryant contends that pharmaceutical and financial elites created this epidemiological fraud to protect their industries and shift blame away from the social devastation of war.
