In some places they did. But they had the same signs against masks they have today. People are people are people regardless of the era.

yeah they also had antimask parties then, and were shunned in newspapers, etc. humanity ain't all that new

I do remember seeing a picture similar to this picture. With the family holding a sign, "mask or jail"

They shot many of them as well.

You are correct.

They also didn't have so much spoiled entitled b******t floating around though... I mean this was a short distance between us not being able to do anything for "dropsy" vs years past till now that came with both companies and countries conducting human medical experiments that went horribly wrong and basic vaccines that arguably save lives. That's rarely the argument against masks and vaccines though it's more juvenile and rings of distant imbreeding to me for some reason. (Maybe it's the accent I hear in my head when people say dumb things) I am under the impression that if you don't want the get vaccinated f**k off when you want antibiotics too especially if your reason is brain control or something....think they won't get to those too if that was the plan. Then one way or another natural selection will take over COVID or mother nature killing us all for being c***s.

They sure did.

No THAT is how you do it!!

There aren't people that don't believe in science there's people who don't trust science and rightly so

That street runs both ways ....

That was one way to get the man to wear a mask.

Wikipedia is helpful on this. Shows him to be unjustified: “The first panel of each strip generally had someone inconveniencing or annoying True, an innocent bystander or an animal. In the second panel he would then make an ill-tempered outburst.”

That's the thing that makes me sad. That the culture exists where we don't know whom to trust. ❤️

So true, I agree w/this comment. However, the difference between then (w/Spanish flu) was that the bodies were literally piling up on the streets (if I'm to remember correctly) during that time so there was no denying the danger of the epidemic whereas today (w/Covid) despite claims made by media & gov (who are pretty much in bed together) there were hardly any sick people going to the hospitals (the staff had so much free time they were making TikTok dance videos at the facilities wearing their scrubs & all). My son works at Stanford medical & at the height of this whole mess he said they got maybe 2 patients admitted for breathing problems caused by possible Covid (he says their symptoms were more in line w/the flu) otherwise they were no busier than usual & if anything the hospital was actually pretty slow, more so than usual. So I believe my boy he has no reason to make this up especially out of concern for me, his mother, he'd tell me if things were that serious...js

Mt grandmother died of the spanish flu along with her newborn son

I can’t understand why they stopped making monoclonal antibodies. It is a treatment protocol. Some people, despite being vaccinated, get COVID-19 and they need treatment. Vaccine is a preventative, but we also need treatment drugs.

And they were just as dumb then. But at least they had the excuse that their club wasn't started as a joke by a mocking skeptic... Truly we've known it's round since before writing. Sails are visible before the hull...

There are still flat earthers today, BC.

Around 600 BC it was determined that the earth was a sphere and not flat. https://www.history.com/news/christopher-columbus-never-set-out-to-prove-the-earth-was-round

oh geez, they thought it was a square??

good lord a PROFFESOR made that that's just sad man

Just telling them, that if it was flat n you peed in the water, it ain't flowing away anywhere, would've solved the issues....

What do me mean in 1871. We still have them! Lol!!!!

Looks like a scrap map table.

Having consequences for not following the law is good. Though not when masks are optional as they are now. It is not fascist to believe there should have been consequences for breaking the law.

Spoken like a true fascist piece of trash .

No, they’d known about germs for about 50 years by then, because Pasteur published his germ theory in 1861 (just took longer to circulate such findings, and get them accepted by average people, back then). The problem was their masks were just thin cotton with no filter like we have now. Most people probably had more than one mask, and boiled them to clean them, so they’d start out sanitary. But you get to those too poor to have one mask, much less several, or to afford extra fuel to boil water to clean their one mask every day, and the trouble starts. Factor in the usual percentage of ignorant people—-some just uneducated, others obtuse on purpose—-and you get a pretty good picture of what was going on in 1918, and continued until that pandemic ended (2 years in general, but longer in some places).

Hygiene was not big so masks were probably seldom washed, so yes, they'd have been of little use to those of indifferent cleanliness. Youcre trying to compare apples & oranges. Both fruit, both juicy, but NOT the same. Who's the silly one after all?

This has been fact checked and proven false. The paper was written in 2008 and the results were Deaths from these later pandemics also appeared to be associated with bacterial pneumonia, but Fauci and his colleagues noted there were differences in the "spectrum and extent of secondary bacterial pneumonia," likely due to advancements in medicine, such as antibiotic and influenza vaccination, and demographic and social factors. Masks are not mentioned at all, whether as a source for bacterial pneumonia or otherwise.

100% ... If only people wouldn't be lazy and brainwashed, do research instead of just watch fake news that are all ran by the same corrupt owners and believe whatever they say. They need to turn the news off and use their brain.

It was 2008, and that is NOT what thae paper said. Facebook fake meme spreading anti-mask propoganda. Please don't believe any meme without looking it up. The actual paper stated that the majority of deaths were from a secondary bacterial pneumonia. No mention of masks. When your lings are compromised, they can get secondary infections, pretty common knowledge.

Different masks then. Not the sterile, surgery grade PPE we have today. Also, putting things in CAPS doesn't make it correct. Finally, you don't have to resort to personal attacks Jennifer to make your point even if you are wrong.

Social media users have been publishing a screenshot of a tweet, which erroneously claims that during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, people died of bacterial pneumonia from masks and that Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and a key member of the White House coronavirus task force, knew this and wrote about it in 2008. In fact, the study that Fauci co-authored in 2008 does not mention masks and found that bacterial pneumonia led to most deaths in the Spanish flu pandemic when it had been preceded by “viral damage,” or influenza infection.

You're a lot of fun at parties, right?

Sleepy Joe did that

We have no super mass outbreaks in south Carolina and most people haven't wore masks since 3 months in. Pennsylvania on the other hand were heavily masked all the time and mass outbreaks left or right. december 24th marked me being in south Carolina . My birth mom had moved here almost 17? Years ago.my youngest sister 18 almost 19 march 28th has been here since she was what 3 or5. constant contact since 2009 or 2010 with mum so. Mum and lottie got it and a few places from out of town visitors ect. The fam got covid but i dint last march/april. Lived under same roof. Im not a carrier.

If you can smell Lysol through the mask it's not effective against covid. The odor in lysol works the same way covid works i. the air.

Yes the cat has a mask as a joke. I think it's humorous anyway. I know cats can get Covid 19 but I don't think I could keep a mask on a cat.

False Deaths from these later pandemics also appeared to be associated with bacterial pneumonia, but Fauci and his colleagues noted there were differences in the "spectrum and extent of secondary bacterial pneumonia," likely due to advancements in medicine, such as antibiotic and influenza vaccination, and demographic and social factors.

Which were seldom washed! Duh
