Topic: Pandemics Of Propaganda

1 chapters across the catalog

The 1918 Spanish Flu is characterized as a bacterial pneumonia event rather than a viral respiratory disease, occurring before the invention of antibiotics. Research into preserved lung tissue suggests the mortality was driven by poor living conditions following World War I rather than a novel virus. This historical re-evaluation suggests that many modern "pandemics" are largely products of propaganda that do not result in detectable excess mortality.
