### The "1917" Pandemic Theory and Trump's Vaccine Stance

- **Episode:** [1641: Lock the Clock](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1641-lock-the-clock.md)
- **Published:** 2024-03-10
- **Time:** 54:44–58:56
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1641-lock-the-clock/chapter/the-1917-pandemic-theory-and-trump-s-vaccine-stance.md

A theory is explored regarding Donald Trump's repeated references to a "1917 pandemic" instead of the 1918 Spanish Flu. Analysts like John Cullen suggest this was not a mistake but a coded reference to a different historical event. This ties into Trump's continued defense of the mRNA vaccines, which has alienated a significant portion of his base who view the "clot shot" with suspicion.

The hosts address viral videos claiming President Joe Biden used a green screen during a press interaction. While one host argues it was a lens distortion anomaly confirmed by a Voice of America boom operator, the other suggests the public's desire to believe it is fake stems from Biden's perceived frailty. They discuss the use of "chroma key" and "single-shot" editing techniques similar to those used in the film 1917.

CNN's Jim Acosta questions the president on why the administration "dropped the ball" despite warnings of a pandemic in 2019. In his response, Trump repeatedly refers to the Spanish Flu starting in 1917, despite the widely accepted date of 1918. This discrepancy leads to a discussion about the origins of the 1918 pandemic, including theories involving a military camp in Kansas and a 1917 outbreak in the United Kingdom.
