It is called the "Spanish Flu" because only Spain had free press it the time to report it. The rest of the world involved in WWI (including the US) restricted the press to not affect morale for the war.

Spanish Flu and c19 are related which is why stopping it before it could mutate was so important. About a decade after the Spanish Flu there was a massive global "die off" that has now been attributed to those who survived Spanish Flu at the end of WWI

We are arguing about pro and anti vaccine when the real threat is long c19 which, like the Spanish Flu, will resurface in the initial survivors and kill them later.

Those that fail to study history are their own worst enemy.

Covid and influenza are nothing alike except they are both viruses.
