You got that reversed, santim2341. Spanish flu wasn't a result of soldiers returning from the war, it was a result of soldiers being sent to war. The very first identified cases happened at Fort Riley, Kansas. It was American soldiers who deployed in 1918 who spread the Spanish flu to Europe, and from there it spread to the rest of the world. The name "Spanish flu" comes because Spain was neutral and thus didn't have wartime censorship in place, and thus was the first nation to allow reporting of the flu pandemic. This gave the popular impression that Spain was where the pandemic had started, when it actually started in America. BTW, the Spanish flu pandemic was also made worse in America by the widespread refusal to wear masks. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
As for RFK Jr's bonkers claim that the Spanish flu was created through vaccine research? Nobody was researching a flu vaccine in 1918. In fact, nobody even knew yet that flu was caused by a virus. In 1918, flu was thought to be caused by bacterial infection. It wasn't until 1933 that the influenza virus was discovered. The first flu vaccine wasn't available until 1945. So I'd love to know what kind of vaccine research RFK Jr thinks could've created the Spanish flu.
