Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

I just learned about Juneteenth and the 1918flu in the past 5 years. Adding this to my ‘better late than never’ list. (I’m 50’s).

I would not word my hypothesis as having made a claim. I just think it is an area that should be considered when determining increased rates of ca. I remember hearing that hx of 1918flu increased rates of Parkinson’s decades later in those who got the flu and recovered. Viruses can be sneaky.

#1918Flu 50-60% of the South African population was infected - by November 1918, it was already waning. However, the Prime Minister Louis Botha was probably a victim of the much less severe 3rd wave. SA was the 3rd worst affected country in the world.
