EP, I'm curious about sources for your post. What you say is wild and totally at odds with what I know to be true. The so-called "Spanish influenza" was labelled as such because the U.S. media was still engaged in a propaganda campaign against imperial Spain even two decades after we had captured Cuba and the Philipines. Thus, when the influenza was written about in the Spanish press, it was picked up by the Hearst papers as "spanish influenza". A yellow pressman's distortion and nothing more. The origin of the influenza has been traced back to Tibet, where it apparently erupted in the summer of 1917, before starting its worldwide transmission.
