Come back for Part 3 tomorrow!
Come back for more virus indoctrination... Now a word from phizer....
Lmao did you really say “everyone helped each other out without regard for race creed, etc” ? Did you say that to wash your white guilt about racism in the past? Sir, I guarantee I can find primary sources where minorities were treated much more harshly due to the pandemic.
What a great series! My great uncle told me stories of the 1918 flu, how healthy young men left for work in the morning and were near death that same night, their lungs flooded with fluid. My uncle was infected, and the hospitals of the day in New York City were completely overwhelmed. So lacking were beds that it was customary to put clearly dying patients out on the hospital's fire escapes (in the dead of winter) to free up their beds. My uncle said that one morning he awoke on a fire escape, and began banging on the window to be let back in. He was a fighter, my Uncle Pete.
Wonderful lecture. He died 1-3-20 at age 69 of a heart attack. If you notice he had only one functional arm. So sad.
Wow. Chilling..
What was his name?
Eric
When were these lectures recorded?
@@allycehill3586
Dr. Bruce Fleury
The doctor making this video passed in early January? But he said he had to miss Mardi Gras this year, as if Mardi Gras was over by the time this aired. Not that he "would miss it". I will have to double check what he said and or check that out online. Interesting. Sad if true since 69 is young nowadays.
If u scroll down, another person asked about this Doctor and TGC replied back with his resume and first sentence says he "is" xyz not "was" nothing about a heart attack except from someone else replied before TGC that he passed 1/3/20 of a heart attack. So im assuming TGC is accurate and good news that he didn't pass and hopefully he can still continue to help with current event.
Current policy makers should be required to view this information, many of the same mistakes that were made back then are being made today.
ponder why South Africa canceled there current Vaccine and why they want the one that is a single shot, you are welcome for the tip
Too late
@@rf-bh3fh Johnson and Johnson have the single shot
they never do. political scientist's jobs as advisors are relatively easy since they say the same crap their predecessors said as the politicians rarely ever acknowledge it. but when something goes wrong the advisors are first to be kicked. All these media and politicians are moaning about finding out where it came from and accountability for that, but no one is asking the real question: How did it spread so fast and why did no one give a crap. We KNEW their was a breakout but we just shrugged our shoulders and went "it's a Wuhan virus"
Government types tend to leave issues to the future. For example Climate change, an inevitable occurrence that will EVENTUALLY lead to a change in how and where we grow crops, how and where animals travel, the eventual melting of the ice caps (as technically we are still in the death throes of the last ice age) Instead of making concrete plans they're leaving into the side, claiming "it's an issue" but not doing anything. they keep talking about preventive measures, but it's not something preventable, it's like stopping the world from spinning, or stopping the Polar Reversal from happening (100+ times in the span of 70million years so negligible but still possible) which would weaken the magnetic field protecting us from radiation from our sun and other celestial bodies. They do not do anything until the water reaches their feet.
Even if you make them required to see videos and these things, it'll go in one ear and out the other. As they'll be more worried about their next term or whatever garbage floats in their heads.
Anyone whining today about their poor mental health and how tough lockdowns are should be made to watch this. My town lost 7.4% of it's 10,000 population. A trip to your local cemetery that has 1918 burials will show you how badly it hit.
I am thrilled that TGC has made this available on UA-cam. I have bought several of their DVD lectures over the past years and recommend them to anyone seriously interested in expanding their knowledge in any area.
Thanks so much for being a customer!
This is a Fabrication. Rewriting history
This is a complete lie. Fabrication, rewriting history. The narrative is to match COVID (Certificate Of Vaccination ID)
@@lifeofmagnus4838 Instead of harassing people on this comment board why don't you make a video of your version and post it on your own UA-cam channel?

This guys tie is awesome
Interesting and riveting and fascinating discussion on the Spanish Flu of 1918, remember as a younger person hearing about it and always wondered why it's forgotten history, barely mention, yet it impacted so many people, a true pandemic.
Dinosaur Tie for the win! This guy is SO good and giving info! This is such a great resource!!
Thank you for the feedback! Never stop learning.
Back for part 2 straight away.
That tie is just the apex of all fashion!
Love listening to him! So clearly explained and very well delivered. What a great lecturer , so knowledgeable!
And the pirate 🦜 virus noice lmao so good
You said that one of the soldiers would scream whenever he was touched. I went through this when I was a kid. Nearly died and the specialists at the hospital had no idea what was wrong with me. Eventually I recovered and they determined that I'd picked up some type of flu.
Flu Neuralgia by the sound of it.
He looks staright into your eyes without blinking while teaching
Influencing...calm.
That's called a masterful salesman
You have the best voice and storytelling inflection for teaching. I’m subscribing just for the way you’re telling the story.
Me too
Really appreciate the depth of the coverage. Thank you.
Yes as a person living in Philadelphia I wish our citizens would watch this video and take it as a warning. With the population nearly tripled that of 1918 i fear we’re right behind New York as a major hot spot. Unfortunately only probably half of our citizens are taking this seriously 😐. Either way the whole country reacted too late to the early warnings.
I wish we had more masques and that it be mandatory to wear before you exit your home. But what can we do. 😷😷😞.
Thx for letting the isolated public have access to these incredible videos. It helps put things in perspective and enlightens us in general. 😌
I subscribed.. 👍
People aren't taking it seriously in Louisiana either.
They should teach this in school instead of gender studies
Karen Byrd
Oh it is. Thx for telling me. Probably because a lot of people left for the suburbs.
They’ve been trying to lure people back.. lol 😂.. Thx Stay safe doll 😷
All you gotta do is stop believing lies about killer viruses and collectively we'll learn what really makes us sick then we'll stop buying and taking their poisons and they'll go away
@@susanauger3758 actually this is in the same category of mind control. No "viruses" ever caused disease.
I am enjoying this very much. Very informative.
Outstanding presentation!
Yip!
Captivating... you provide the information in such an easy to comprehend fashion... fascinating
The description of public life at 11:00 is eerily reminiscent of what's going on now.
Wonderful post very informative and entertaining
Wow! Excellent presentation!
I understand why we know so little about that pandemic, so much PTSD in that.
Thank you very much for this course.
Love these lectures! Keep it coming!
Thank you for being a fan! Keep watching we always have something new for you ;)
Excellent lecture very informative
Your presentation was excellent you didn’t leave nothing out very very interesting looking forward to more videos like this keep up the good work❤️
Thank you for the great feedback, Robert! We hope that you will continue to enjoy our videos.
Loved the lecture wish I would have found it sooner
Fascinating and shows the more things change the more they stay the same.
Share it. People need to see this.
I liked the Professors rap about the bird called Enza, the man's got some sick bars!
BTW professor, in case you didn't know, the word "sick", as it's used here, it's a good thing. : )
This is helping me with my grad school project, thank you
“Morale trumped public health.” Wow.. chilling, given current events. 😢
Could you please tell us in the video description more information about the presenter? I assume he’s a college professor/historian but I would be interested in knowing more. Excellent presentation by the way, should be required viewing given our current situation.
He died Jan 3, 2020 at age 69 of a massive heart attack.
The Ropes of Renovation some random dude on UA-cam told me this so I guess it must be true. Evidence please. 😁

That Tie is especially awesome!
Thank you this was a very excellent lecture about the flu
I'd a little bird named Enza, I opened the window and IN-FLEW-ENZA
Devens is actually outside Ayers MA. I was stationed there in 1978, the cemetery there is very sobering.
Outstanding presentation.
Thank you for watching!
Philly during the 1918 flu is a case study of what NOT TO DO during a pandemic.
The treatment that did work was a simple diet, hot and cold treatments, and good nursing. Unbelievable that this was not implemented everywhere at the time. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was well-known and didn't die until the 1940s. His protocol was followed at the seminary in Hutchinson, MN with not one death after 90 were infected. It makes us wonder about medicine and virology. Here we are 100 years later and still seem clueless about what to do.
And not taking calomel
His tie with dinosaurs says it all.......maybe we are on the brink of extinction too };^)
Read THE SIXTH EXTINCTION . We are, indeed in front of the eight ball.

I wonder what happen to businesses, jobless people, etc. What did they do? How about evictions? Did it happen?
Did they have medical worker shortages too? What did they do?
What about food shortages? What did they do?
I attended a large catholic high school on the outskirts of Philadelphia, Archbishop Prendergast. It became a school in the 1950’s, but it opened in 1920 as an orphanage.

skorpia g ignorant fools in every damn century, tsk, tsk, tsk.
skorpia g But did you hear what he said at 17:20? Cities who closed down public places did no better than those who didn’t. 🤔
@@kensurrency2564 did you see news today, Even at closed county there still idiot who ignore the regulation put into place and doing protest openly. And they close far to late check 25:50 where American Samoa and Australia who close early and apply quarantine measure were spared.
@@kensurrency2564 In this video as well around 27:00 Australia and American Samoa had lower rates due to quarantine and lockdown back then as well. Obviously a different disease so hard to extrapolate, however for COVID-19 in New Zealand and Australia we have seen very good results from early border closures and early lockdown coupled with extensive testing and contact tracing.
Did you even watch this? At 17:20 he said that the cities that closed had a no better death rate.” What does that mean to you?
I like how they make it easy to understand bc i'm dumb as a bag of hammers

awesome stuff currently reading a book about it now
What book? I’m researching it for grad school
We, collectively, didn't learn a thing.
It's very similar to what is happening now. But without the high mortality rate.
Who noticed the dinosaurs tie?
That tie is money sir, money! I knew those guys were just as crazy as us musicians. Thank you for the education!
@5:00 .. We have a current example of people uneducated in medical procedures making stupid decision based on "military protocol" ....The Secretary of the Navy ignoring the request of a Captain for medical intervention ....
These lectures are so interesting and so well explained.
I just hope that we learn from these “experiences” and take anti-viral measures more seriously from now on.
Although COVID-19 must be reported I think the real number of infected people will never be known, but rather assumed. It would be of tremendous value to evaluate the number of immune people throughout the globe once the pandemic is controlled, but I don’t believe it will be feasible. the economic crisis associated with this will not permit it. Lots could be learned by knowing the real numbers: places where the vírus hit more, reasons for it to be more virulent in some places than others, etc. History and present analysis can help us be more prepared for the future.
I also subscribed and I’ll be watching your previous videos.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great info 🙏
Thank you 😊
Thank you
My grandmother lived in Philadelphia during this time, I remember her telling about bodies loaded on wagons and the quarantines marked on family front doors.
But of course she and survivors like her are lying or are part of the "hoax" that the Q-heads are so fond of.
Awesome history! Hopefully you can make one of the corona virus after we get over this awful new virus.

I’m shocked at how little we were taught about this.
Check back next year. 👍🏼
This is sounding eerily familiar
Yes susan. History has a way of repeating itself.

There’s nothing new under the sun. It’s just new to you 🙌🏾
@@divisiononesocial3249 did I say I've not heard of anything?!
Always used to have dreams of big waves coming and a feeling of dread. Wonder if the universe was trying to tell me something. 🤔🤔
Deaths increased when people ignored the threat. Just like now.
It's fascinating
Great content and the Robot was almost life like, could use some oil.
Can anyone recommend a good book on daily life during the flu pandemic? For a school project. Thanks
I feel like I’m at the best college lecture. I wish my professors taught like this
A extremely tough reality we all all dealing with in this 2020.
Great tie
Soon as I heard the turpentine reference I immediately thought about Donald Trump‘s suggestion of injecting bleach.
I feel like I had watched this 1918 movie just recently.

We could learn a lot from from the Spanish flu. I see we are trying to practice social distancing but many people think this is just a joke. I don't think COVID 19 has peaked yet anywhere in the world. We are trying to go back to normality too soon.
Just wait till we have flu and covid at the same time
Update: we could have
@@bobsaggot1316 .My grandfather who has passed told me they burned his aunt body before burying her so it wouldn't spread.
Shawn Parkes Social distancing has NOTHING to do with Covid and everything to do with the Covid tracking app. It cannot tell how many people there are if the distance is less than 6 feet. Also Covid is not an aerolized virus. It is droplet. It cannot jump through the air. Your being lied to. Try and do some research.
Next is the mandatory vaccine. Many more will die from it than died from Covid.
Next will be the Immunity Passport! If your not a Green you cannot go out of your house, go get groceries, see friends nor family. Work. Etc. Welcome to hell!

I need a neck tie like the one the lecturer is wearing. So cool!.
I like your tie!
"Lard and turpentine." Wow. Makes me so glad that we have the medical advances we have today.
Judy DeAngelo
"Bleeding" is the one that doesn't sound fun at all. Heroin, morphine, chloroform...they knew how to have fun back then.
At least we don't have those snake oil salesmen today. We have our illustrious dear orange leader, "Here ye here ye! Step right up and get your Chinese flu cures. Ah little lady, how 'bout some fish tank cleaner? Or perhaps 10cc's of bleach? Maybe a UV light bulb. Whatta ya have?"
*sigh*
Yep, much more advanced advice from Trump, inject disinfectant. Medical knowledge has progressed but your leaders are still as thick as two short planks.
omg history is repeating itself WOW
The Coronavirus is nowhere near the Spanish Flu.
@@joemartin1253 the current virus is tempered somewhat by our rapid global communication, better education, coordinated efforts, and improved medical care. However, while it may not be pound for pound as deadly as the 1918 flu, if left to its own devices, it would be so much deadlier than it is now. And we are still in the midst of it not knowing where it might end up. It could very well be we are simply plugging up holes in a dam with our fingers, and if we're not careful, we will run out of fingers.
Joe Martin - true enough, but the human behavior and response doesnt seem to be much different.
@@joemartin1253 It would be without intervention..
Nice 👍👍
Im writing a book on spainish flu can use some of your explanations in my book
I'm pretty sure he's using John M Barry's book. The quotes are exactly the same.
I love that tie. :)
The presenter Bruse fleury died January 2020 at age 69 of a heart attack a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic. If only he had lived one more year!
alarming contrasts to our current pandemic! thank you
When was this lecture recorded?
before Covid hit
Time and scenery change but people seldom do. He could be talking about today.

Interesting what he says at 17:30 about cities that closed bars did not have a better death rate than cities that left them open. Still safer to drink at home in my opinion. Take care everyone.
No he said that Philadelphia didn't do any better closing things down by the time they did than other cities who didn't close at all. Cities that implemented measures early on faired much better. Listen to all he says not just the snippet that confirms a bias
24:07 "Only one type of flu can exist in the population at any one time."
What am I missing here? Aren't the cold, the regular flu, and Covid-19 all types of coronavirus? But there are worries about people contracting *both* the flu and Covid this winter, and how awful that would be.
Clearly I'm not an epidemiologist...just a confused citizen.
In March when COVID-19 "spikes" the first thing the Feds did is , "confiscate " the disposable Mask and gloves from where I worked😡 I'm an essential worker and got all the Symptoms and at the 5th day having difficulty breathing . I continued to work waiting for my Dr's appointment , after work I am coughing none stop to the point will have chest pain😂. I got to my appointment and my Dr. Told me I have pneumonia 😂 she prescribe 4 days of Antibiotic and I recovered, after that appointment I have learned to make my own mask while waiting for the mask I've ordered on line that took almost 2 months😂😂😂 I'm still "Mad" at the Feds when they say" we confiscated the essential mask and gloves for us Federal people😡 I thank my Dr.'s decision ❤️ I've tested 2 for COVID and the result is negative 🙏 I'm old still working and very afraid about this Pandemic 💔 there's about 13,000+ victims in the county were we live💔 take care everybody ✌️❤️
You won't make it.
Whatts RU a psychopath?
Imagine having a leader not willing to prepare and help their people 😂😂😂 I bet "nothing" like that would happen in 2020...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
He missed the 2020 Mardi Gras to record the videos. Wow. He dodged a bullet.
They showed a picture of Ben Franklin's grave 20:37
If it wasn’t for the Spanish Flu, my great grandparents wouldn’t have married. I wonder how much this outbreak or our current one has impacted so many lives. 🤔
Hello to the awesome Prof. I was listening to the death toll in your lecture but didn't hear of any African countries or cities being mentioned. There are some articles that talk about West Africa and South Africa having the flu too and with casualties as well. I would love to hear the stories of the African tribes or early cities and how they responded as well since none of this is documented in detail in books in our libraries today. I think it would be interesting to hear it from a real scholar like you if there is actually good information on this subject. Thanks
You don't hear about it cuz it's a story like Santa Claus where only where children are that told the story is it real for. And plandemics only exist where evil modern men control the minds. You'll never find modern diseases in nature where man hasn't tampered with it
what year was this? oh I thought it was the present
wow nice tie, hehe. Is that a T-rex, or velociraptor
Dr. Bruce Fleury, the presenter of this outstanding lectures on the 1918 pandemic Influenza, passed away in January 2020, at the outset of the now global coronavirus pandemic.
Chilling that this lecture came out just before the next global pandemic hit.
His obituary says he died of a heart attack on 1/8/2020 but with the conflicting numbers of coronavirus deaths being reported, could it be coronavirus that actually killed him?
Also, interesting that a number of microbiologists and virologists have died just years prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
This sounds like shellshock?
What will historians say about the U.S and COVID 20 years from now
The world watched Wuhan burn, then Italy, Spain, and watched some more. Trump banned flights in and out of China and caught flack. At least he did SOMETHING. Canada is a farce. Our health minister first says dont wear masks, they dont help. The CDC says everyone must wear a mask, even a homemade one. Now Canada has changed its tune. Masks DO HELP NOW. You can tell these people weren't put on these jobs due to their stellar resumes. Trudeau must have half the government women " because its 2015"
@@susanauger3758 Those cheap dust, surgical and homemade masks won't stop the virus; at the least an N-95 mask is necessary. But it will keep droplets and spray out of the environment so it's kind of a "6 of one/half a dozen of the other" helpmeets.
With over 3000 souls a day dying what historians will say is that virtually no one has learned anything or willing to follow scientific advice on how to mitigate this terrible disease!!!
This man is a spitting image of my late brother in the way he holds himself (especially his head and neck) and in the way he turns and walks. Very stiff and with little flexibility. Hard to keep my eyes off him.
Maybe he had a twin he didn't know about?
@@SI-ln6tc No, it's not his looks, it's the gait and physical attitude. My brother had scholiosis which prevented him from turning his head on his neck so he had to turn his shoulders to look off to the side; it got worse as he got older.
