- **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 World Economic Forum's "Radio Davos" podcast is promoting "Disease X," a hypothetical future pathogen, to urge global pandemic preparedness. Critics argue that this narrative is a tool to maintain social control, similar to the "global boiling" rhetoric, by encouraging masking, social distancing, and telecommuting. The discussion suggests that pandemic cycles are being artificially accelerated to bypass the natural 100-year historical cadence.

### Dr. Lee Merritt, 1918 Pandemic Death Count Inflation

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1474-heart-dart/chapter/dr-lee-merritt-1918-pandemic-death-count-inflation.md

Dr. Lee Merritt presents a theory that the death toll of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic has been retroactively inflated by media and government agencies. By examining county-level records from the era, she argues the numbers do not support the millions of deaths commonly cited. Merritt suggests this historical inflation serves as a precedent for modern public health narratives.

In 1918, San Francisco residents were required to wear masks in public, leading to arrests for "disturbing the peace" and organized protests over civil liberties. Dr. Erickson points out that traditionally, only the sick are quarantined, not the healthy.

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.
