If any more proof was needed that they're full of shit, here it is. I doubt they'll be adding the 1918 Flu deaths (and possibly AIDS for that matter) to the Victims of Capitalism death tally any time soon.
Reading the Wikipedia article about it is interesting. I knew about the Kansas origin theory, which I alluded to above, but this paragraph is wild, especially in light of recent events:
The first observations of illness and mortality were documented in the United States (in Kansas) in March 1918 and then in April in France, Germany and the United Kingdom. To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized these early reports. Newspapers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the name "Spanish" flu. Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin, with varying views as to its location.
Let virus spread so war machine roll on.
The US and the West more generally have been projecting so hard about the alleged cover-up in China.
This "competition" to try and attribute diseases to countries for cynical political reasons is garbage. The US is just trying to deflect from its own failures.
