Bayer and Death: A New Set of Questions about 1918

Part 5 of 5

By J. Holcombe, D. Jacobson, and T. Ruhl

Without question, the 20 to 50 million deaths during the 1918-19 “flu” epidemic represent the greatest iatrogenic catastrophe in human history.

The attribution of those deaths to a virulent new virus has been debunked by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which said that common upper respiratory bacteria were responsible.  Aspirin, heavily marketed and medically recommended, suppressed the immune system and led to massive infection resulting in pneumonia and death.

The central role that aspirin played in those deaths contrasts sharply with the survival of those who avoided it in favor of natural treatments.  Aspirin, not a virus, created a pharmaceutical industry calamity.

After donations of about £100,000 (~$162,000), the alliance is making final preparations to its legal case for a judicial review of the EU’s Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD) at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
