Just before breakfast on the morning of March 4, Private Albert Gitchell of the U.S. Army reports to the hospital at Fort Riley, Kansas, complaining of the cold-like symptoms of sore throat, fever and headache. Soon after, over 100 of his fellow soldiers had reported similar symptoms, marking what are believed to be the first cases in the historic influenza pandemic of 1918, later known as Spanish flu. The flu would eventually kill 675,000 Americans and an estimated 20 million to 50 million people around the world, proving to be a far deadlier force than even the First World War.
The initial outbreak of the disease, reported at Fort Riley in March, was followed by similar outbreaks in army camps and prisons in various regions of the country. The disease soon traveled to Europe with the American soldiers heading to aid the Allies on the battlefields of France. (In March 1918 alone, 84,000 American soldiers headed across the Atlantic; another 118,000 followed them the next month.) Once it arrived on a second continent, the flu showed no signs of abating: 31,000 cases were reported in June in Great Britain. The disease was eventually dubbed the Spanish flu because people erroneously believed Spain was the epicenter of the pandemic.
The flu showed no mercy for combatants on either side of the trenches. Over the summer, the first wave of the epidemic hit German forces on the Western Front, where they were waging a final, no-holds-barred offensive that would determine the outcome of the war. It had a significant effect on the already weakening morale of the troops—as German army commander Crown Prince Rupprecht wrote on August 3: poor provisions, heavy losses, and the deepening influenza have deeply depressed the spirits of men in the III Infantry Division.
Nations fighting in World War I were reluctant to report their flu outbreaks.
Meanwhile, the flu was spreading fast beyond the borders of Western Europe, due to its exceptionally high rate of virulence and the massive transport of men on land and aboard ship due to the war effort. By the end of the summer, numerous cases had been reported in Russia, North Africa and India; China, Japan, the Philippines and even New Zealand would eventually fall victim as well.
The Great War ended on November 11, but influenza continued to wreak international havoc, flaring again in the U.S. in an even more vicious wave with the return of soldiers from the war and eventually infecting an estimated 28 percent of the country’s population before it finally petered out. In its December 28, 1918, issue, the American Medical Association acknowledged the end of one momentous conflict and urged the acceptance of a new challenge: fighting infectious disease.

One of the major killers with that flu was bacterial pneumonia caused by, wait for it, wearing masks.
Even Fauxi admitted this…years before his PLANNEDEMIC was orchestrated.

Fauci Admits COVID mRNA Vaccines Do Not Work
https://thekennedybeacon.substack.com/p/fauci-admission
The article is correct about the numbers and not about the causes. All kinds of EMF exposure started up then….radar, telegraph etc. The human body had never been exposed to frequencies like this before. Then, they prescribed aspirin in massive quantities which caused severe stomach problemsDr. Lee Merritt has a video on the Spanish flu and how it all went down.
Interesting tie in. Thank you!
I heard that the American soldiers were vaccinated prior to being deployed (to kill and be killed of course) and that the vaccine caused the ‘flu’ which they spread over in Europe and then over here in the States after they returned.
Yes it was the meningitis vax from Fort Detrick biolab that stated the Spanish flu. It’s very well documented.
“Vaccination induces an acute and specific disease (resembling smallpox) and also aggravates existent latent diseases. The absorption of the vaccine virus into the circulation excites the virus already in the system, and nature rebels, as it were, and makes an effort to throw the poison out of the body. When there is sufficient vitality, it will be successful. But when there is a lack of vitality, or a low state of health, there is little or no external manifestation in the shape of blisters, pustules, or eruptions. In this case, the poison sinks in, or is absorbed, and remains in the body, and later develops into some organic disease, generally of the respiratory organs.
“Nearly all of those on whom Jenner performed his earlier experiments, including his own son, died of consumption (a disease of the respiratory organs).
“There are possibly millions, both children and adults, who are compelled to endure a living death from the effects of vaccination, in the form of syphilis, scrofula, cancer, tumors, skin diseases, etc.”
I personally have seen a number of people lingering on for years in a state of living death as a result of vaccination.

San Francisco, Camp Muintauk and troops stationed at Manila for the month of January, 1899. These soldiers had the usual course of vaccine serums for the prevention of smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid, etc.
The diseases they died from within 30 days of the vaccinations were, smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid, lockjaw, black smallpox, blood-poisoning, and cirrhosis of the liver.
General Leonard Wood told the Senate Committee on Military Affairs that “half his present forces were not fit for effective service.” (After vaccination.)
In the Cuban army 60 per cent of the men were frequently disabled, because of diseases other than battle wounds.
SOLDIERS DISABLED AND KILLED BY VACCINATION
In a published article in LIFE magazine, April 17, 1950, General Eisenhower, in discussing the poor conditioning of our fighting forces, said:
I remember one time in Africa when we had only four divisions in the field, and I was desperate for men, I found we had 6,000 men in hospitals in Africa unavailable for combat — and not one of them had suffered a wound.”
All these men were in prime condition when they went to war. Forty-seven per cent of our young men were unfit for service and were rejected. This was an “all time high” record of unfitness, indicating the decadent trend of our nation’s health. But the most perfect men were inducted and sent to the Army camps to be shot full of vaccine poisons and other drugs. After this drastic course of malpractice thousands of boys were invalided home as physical and mental wrecks before they even left American soil. Others were sent to the battlefield where they collapsed and had to be hospitalized.
