Should the US be held to account for the Pandemic?

[OddBeMe]

The 1918 Pandemic…called Spanish Flu…though it was born in Kansas and transported to Europe by US soldiers in WW1.

Funny how history rhymes

All from 1918

.

Yes

Hell no

It was a real pandemic. Not the great human and societal experiment that took place between 2020-2022.
Spainish flu showed the effects of global transport and epidemics and how fast they can be spread. If covid 19 was a serious epidemic then the first cases in China and elsewhere should have resulted in the US boarder being closed and foreign and domestic air travel stopped that day.

[OddBeMe]

Umm it’s the same damn story almost precisely. Without the covidiots of course…lol

[Opinion Owner]

I'm afraid not. The Spainish flu killed millions of very fit healthy people. Covid killed 5 million globally of whom the majority were obese, overweight, elderly or had diabetes.

[OddBeMe]

So you’re only grief is we’ve become fatter as a society!

[Opinion Owner]

Fatter is an understatement.

[OddBeMe]

Agreed but you have to see parallels.

[Opinion Owner]

Well I don't see any red white and blue burkas

[OddBeMe]

I don’t what the fck that means.

[Opinion Owner]

[OddBeMe]

See I need to know of these meme before you reference…. see how that works?

[Opinion Owner]

Wrong question. I apologise

[OddBeMe]

Accepted. That is something I hate my fellow libtards for. They give too much excuse for their “culture”. That pic is abhorrent bullsh*t.

[goaded]

It would seem only fair, at least if people want to hold China to account for the latest one.

Wasn't there something about a recent swine flu epidemic being blamed on Mexico, but it originated in the US, too?

Shit happens. Not warning people about it is a choice.

[OddBeMe]

I mean China covered it up, and so did we apparently back in 1918…

[goaded]

Exactly. They could have closed their borders unilaterally, but it's a chicken and egg situation, isn't it? No country is willing to "over" react to a new illness, so they don't react at all until it's already become widespread in the country. These days, as well, journey times are measured in hours, not days, so there's no chance to detect a sick passenger before they arrive in a new country and quarantine the ship.

I found this really cool map showing travel times from London in 1914:

[OddBeMe]

Travel times of the trains or the virus?

[goaded]

People, which amounts to pretty much the same thing in a pandemic.

[stepyo99]

Who exactly is supposed to be held to account? Everybody from that era is either dead or would have been a baby during that time. I guess you can chalk it up as another example of how evil the media industry, the military-industrial complex, and the political elites are.

[Stoner710]

If America was responsible for the 1918 pandemic, then Americans should pay for it

[OddBeMe]

Have you fallen down recently? Where is stoner and what have you done with him?

[Stoner710]

I actually haven’t smoke much weed over the last week.

Countries should pay for their actions, especially their democracies. If you have a monarchy you blame the monarchy if you have a democracy the people are responsible for the good and bad.

If it can be proven that the United States unleashed a virus from there shores the American people need to compensate the rest of the world. Same with China in the case of Covid 19 China isn’t a democracy so we must blame the leaders of the CCP in which case we need to destroy the CCP

[OddBeMe]

So you’re for reparations for the enslaved black ancestors? (Fingers crossed)

[Stoner710]

sure if i'm going to get reparations for being Nordic my ancestors were brought to Alaska and were force to mine for gold an other material for the Russia. America bought that land where's my reparations

[jshm2]

Technically those were US labs in Wuhan too...

[OddBeMe]

We kicked in a little money to study Covid. Good investment I might add.

[Juxtapose]

Nobody alive was involved in that but nice try. That's like reparations for slavery, it's stupid because everyone involved is dead!

[Juxtapose]

Meanwhile the Chinese responsible for this and the people in the USA deep state are still very much so alive.

[OddBeMe]

So we take them to court, it takes 100 years to get the money. And everyone involved is dead?

[RavVid]

Little was known about viruses so how the hell can that be said.

[AngryCarl2]

Reparations? It's a bit late now. Notice how they tried to blame the Spanish. lol

[OddBeMe]

I’m guessing by “Spanish” they meant Cuba or whereabouts…

[goaded]

No, the warring sides refused to acknowledge the illness that was decimating their troops, it was up to the neutral Spanish to publicise it, which led to them getting the blame for it. No good deed goes unpunished!

[OddBeMe]

@goaded oh. And that was before fascism took over. Poor Spain…

[AngryCarl2]

@goaded More troops died of the flu than were killed in action. That and dystentery. War is hell.

Wishful thinking.

Just need your bank account info and I’ll wire money immediately!
