I don’t have a problem with the authors comments about John Cullen’s theory that there were 2 pandemics. I have a problem with John Cullen’s theory itself. Here are my comments on that.
My comments on this post: https://roundingtheearth.substack.com/p/the-novelish-influenza-hypothesis where John Cullen says there were 2 pandemics: one of COVID one of regular influenza (of which there are many varieties).
Neither met a definition of pandemic. And there is no worldwide standard definition of pandemic anyway. I found one for the US CDC, and one for WHO. Both definitions I found were very vague. There was no numerical aspect of either definition to say when a pandemic is actually going on. There was nothing to mention the percent of people sick or percent of people who died.
> There were two pandemics: one influenza and one coronavirus. The influenza may very well be the Spanish flu strain revived.
Where is the lab data supporting that the Spanish Flu was actually involved? Who did the DNA sequencing? How many different labs confirmed the DNA sequencing? I'm sure the Spanish Flu was sequenced years and years ago. Besides, Fauci did a study that showed most people didn't die of the Spanish Flu (or secondary viral pneumonia), they died of bacterial pneumonia, probably from wearing dirty masks all the time. https://wordsalad.info/2020/12/1918-flu-autopsies-reveal-that-bacterial-pneumonia-caused-more-deaths-than-the-flu-itself/ and https://archive.ph/d2wC2
It's more likely that positive flu tests were changed to positive COVID tests somewhere enroute to the database at Johns Hopkins, the primary source of COVID data for the US. If you look at some of the graphs the source says “Johns Hopkins”, and JH has it’s own official site here. Here is the JHU site with fancy graphs.
Here are 1300+ cases of fraud, including data fraud, surrounding the COVID mess. http://wordsalad.info/tag-coronavirusfraud.html
Also, an official Australian gov't official reported that there were only 6 cases of COVID found in Australia over 18+ months. (If you have a link to this video please post it below. I remember seeing it myself, I just can’t find it now.) The rest were assumed to be flu. 6 cases is not a pandemic.
Have you seen this?

So it would seem you are correct that whatever Spanish Flu was it would likely have been sequenced. Like you I believe bacterial pneumonia was likely the big killer in 1918, although I am not a science scholar.
And didn’t the WHO change the definition of ‘pandemic’ much to the consternation of researchers?

The word ‘pandemic’ carries baggage that was critical to pulling off this BS.
I used to follow John Cullen. In early days he pointed out how the CDC and NIH lied about annual P&I annual deaths. He used numbers from coroners and medical examiners which were much higher.
Cullen presumed the CDC and NIH decided (a) if people knew how many Americans died annually from flu Big Pharma couldn’t pretend their yearly flu shots were even remotely effective. And (b) if Americans knew the true extent of annual pneumonia deaths the deaths labeled ‘from or with Covid’ wouldn’t seem as staggering and scary.
My idea of a pandemic is when people are lying dead in the streets from the illness, so many that the medical personnel can't keep up - sort of like that movie "Contagion". Maybe my definition is wrong. Just my opinion.
