Topic: 1918 Pandemic

Dr. Lee Merritt claims that the death toll of the 1918 pandemic has been retroactively inflated by the CDC and intelligence services. She cites her research into small-town newspaper archives from 1919, finding identical, word-for-word articles published across different states, which she views as early evidence of centralized propaganda. Merritt notes that her own family members who lived through the era never mentioned a "horrible pandemic," casting doubt on the official narrative.

Historical newspaper archives from 1918 show that the influenza pandemic was not front-page news and had much lower death counts than currently reported. The estimated death toll has mysteriously inflated over the decades, rising from 10 million in the 1940s to 20 million during the Ford administration. President Gerald Ford used these inflated numbers in 1976 to promote the swine flu vaccine, which was later pulled for causing Guillain-Barré syndrome.
