Alabama was hit very hard by the pandemic of 1917-1918.

In the old cemetery in downtown Birmingham, AL there is a large mass grave with a statue of those that died due to the "Spanish" Flu in 1918.

It is in a bad part of town now and very few even know that it exists today.

Why is the murder rate so high in Birmingham now?

Can confirm downtown Birmingham is a cesspool.

So much bullshit in this thread. Unbelievable. So this guy’s family fled a pandemic but he is probably a covid denier of sorts considering he spends time on this site. So what is the fucking point of your post you fucking idiot?

Are you saying we should all flee to protect our family? Are you implying the Spanish flu is real but not covid? Are you implying covid isn’t that bad compared to the Spanish flu? Maybe it would be as bad if it was running wild. What is the conclusion to your fucking shit story?

I remember when I was a kid I got sick once and had to go to the fucking hospital with a fever and they couldn’t find the problem. So my family rented a fucking wagon and some mules and we went down the street till the cops pulled us over. Stfu!!

To other posters in this thread saying people have it so easy now plz stfu. Guess what. those motherfuckers had it easier than the people who went through the Black Plague you stupid fuck. Maybe they should’ve been more grateful it wasnt the fucking plague is that your fucking point you stupid fucking piece of shit? Wtf is your damn point stfu

My grandmother, born in 1933 says there was no talk of the pandemic by her elders whatsoever, about it.

Take it for what it is.

I moved here to a small town in Central Florida and we have heard over and over about the Spanish flu pandemic and how many in this town died.

One business man owned an apothecary and lost his wife and 7 of his 8 children.

Stories abound.

At the time there were still larger homeopathetic hospitals and those who treated patients. Several researchers have looked at their death rates versus those who treated via big pharma directed.

The death rate was like 1% in homepaths versus 30-60% in non homeopathic settings and the major difference in treatment was aspirin which was often given in overdose levels.

So seeing the lies of covid 19 today I do actually believe that the entire Spanish flu story sold to us today was the groundwork for one long con of big pharma Vaccine deception over the century


They wouldn’t have sold another damn vaccine nor their chemical poisons had the truth come out, but instead a media creation story of a viral pandemic was the basis for the capping of their lie today

My grandparents and parents told me nothing about life in general. My father never admitted his father beat him. My aunt told me this when I was 24. They always acted as if everything was okay even while beating me (from 13 to 21)and sending my schizophrenic sister to the streets. This is about all I learned from the lot them: pretend that everything is okay and never talk about anything. They are all dead now except for my sister who has harmed me in every way imaginable since I was born.

People think that they have things so rough today.

They have lost all knowledge of what real hardship used to be.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71883211


You got that right. I think we need to be reminded of that sometimes. My mom, who is 82 and German, escaped Poland with her family during the war and went to Germany and then, at the age of 12, left Germany for America, walking miles through the mountains and stuffed on trains covered with lice along with her mom (my grandma), her grandma (my great grandma), and her 9 brothers and sisters. My grandpa had been taken prisoner of war. They came to America on a sponsorship and were given an acre of land in Colorado where they slept in the dirt with just the clothes on their backs and built the family farm by hand with basically just sticks and clay. My grandpa showed up a few years later, shocking everyone. They had thought he was dead. My dad's family, all Armenians, barely escaped the Armenian genocide in Armenia by the Turks, came over by boat to Ellis Island/New York with just the clothes on their backs and made their way, never complaining. Before that, my dad's dad, my grandpa, who was born in 1900 in Armenia, had gone to England real young to live with relatives while his parents and brothers went to America. In 1912, the plan was for him to come to America on the Titanic which was leaving out of South Hampton. He stood for two days in the immigrant line for a spot in the Titanic's cargo hold but before they let the immigrants on board, a doctor came by and checked their eyesight, going down the line. My grandpa had TERRIBLE eyesight with big old glasses and he was also sick so they didn't let him on. The rest of that story, of course is history. If it wasn't for my grandpa being so blind and sickly as a kid, I wouldn't be here! He waited a month and took the next ship out to Ellis Island where my great grandparents were waiting.

My life, comparatively to all that, was a walk in the fucking park.

Yes and all that during a world War, and they didn't know that a second world War was coming as well as a global depression.

Well at least they had the roaring 20s.

Aspirin overdose was the major killer during the spanish flu epidemic.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79789227


100% true

Viruses don't spread from one person to another. It's the toxins in medicine and vaccines that kill.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79196134


So you can’t catch syphilis or herpes from others then? There is more to sickness than just toxins from medicine and vaccines. People had these sicknesses and spread them long before medicine and vaccines. We can spread disease to one another.

Absolutely the same in my family. NO ONE ever said anything about the Spanish flu, even though they lost a dear sister to it.

I only learned about the spanish flu from history books when I was in my 20s.

It's like those people back them did everything to forget it. Weird.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79780951


People back then did not like to talk about tragedies. They just got on with life.
