NEWFAG here Copied and pasted this so excuse spacing. Exposing lies of NIH.
National Institutes of Health: 1918 Flu deaths overwhelmingly DID NOT have a viral Cause -Bacterial Pneumonia was primary cause.
I reworded their summary (quoted below) so that the lay reader can more easily understand what the NIH conclusions were:
My reworded conclusion:
Although a "Viral" cause of the 1918 influenza has been long argued; Regardless of such arguments Those same Experts actually overwhelmingly agree that the vast majority of Deaths from the 1918 tragedy were NOT DUE to any Viral cause (Real or Hypothetical) but rather were a DIRECT RESULT of BACTERIAL Pneumonias. Furthermore; Had patients NOT contracted BACTERIAL Pneumonia MOST of them would have RECOVERED. One may only conclude two things: Bacterial Pneumonia was the PRIMARY cause of the Deaths and therefor a VIRAL "Cause" was not even necessary to explain the Pandemic.
Now here is the actual Quote / summary from the NIH:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2599911/
"…Although the cause of influenza was disputed in 1918, there was almost universal agreement among experts [e.g., 20, 27–33] that deaths were virtually never caused by the unidentified etiologic agent itself*, but resulted directly from severe secondary pneumonia caused by well-known bacterial “pneumo-pathogens” that colonized the upper respiratory tract (predominantly pneumococci, streptococci, and staphylococci). Without this secondary bacterial pneumonia, experts generally believed that most patients would have recovered…"
…(and)
We examined lung tissue sections obtained during 58 autopsies and reviewed pathologic and bacteriologic data from 109 published autopsy series that described 8398 individual autopsy investigations. …
…(and)
Conclusions
The majority of deaths in the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory–tract bacteria.
The article makes it clear that By "majority" they mean a minimum of 92% of deaths were Bacterial Pneumonia - NOT Viral.
Furthermore: In the current COVID-19 pandemic - Anthony Fauci –while in front of cameras– gave the impression that COVID-19 could be 10 times more deadly than common seasonal Influenza. YET - he FAILS to point out that he is quoted in the following New England Journal of Medicine article from Feb. 2020 that:
"…On the basis of a case definition requiring a diagnosis of pneumonia, the currently reported case fatality rate is approximately 2%.4 In another article in the Journal, Guan et al.5 report mortality of 1.4% among 1099 patients with laboratory-confirmed Covid-19; these patients had a wide spectrum of disease severity. If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) …"

FURTHERMORE: Their EM Photos of the so called Virus are pathetic.
[Photo below is solid proof that they didn't even attempt to "ISOLATE" viral particles at 1.16 sucrose gradient - the necessary banding for Viral material.]

Photo above taken from this article was given as Proof of the Virus Isolation:

COMMENT: =IF THIS were truly an "ISOLATE" as claimed the only thing it is proof of is that the EM photo techs do not know how to properly "isolate" viri and "purify" it as the proper 1.16 sucrose gradient as is REQUIRED to isolate and purify viral particles. The only conclusion is that this is a highly contaminated photo containing massive cellular debris, virus - like particles (not demonstrated to be actual viri) and contamination by microvesicles. The state of virology today is: Sad. They did the same thing with HIV. Oh that's right! Robert Gallo is the one who directs all the state of Virology now. See here:

Conclusion: We need to hold those who are stampeding people into worldwide panic accountable for the Lies and misstatements and for their incredibly sloppy JUNK Science!
