The big question is how did it originate in the US at an isolated army camp in Fort Riley, Kansas? Or did it? Public health reporting in 1918 does not compare to today's standards.

They didn't have fox news either. Did fox just try to admit they are not a news source but for entertainment value only? Or is that fake news?

You're relying on a study from a Canadian in 2014. There have been many studies about this and while no one will ever be sure many studies point to outside Fort Riley.

"It’s not known whether it started in the pigs or chickens or birds flying overhead. But it spread to young farmers who, drafted for World War I, reported for duty at Fort Riley."

" No one knows for sure what farm, what family may have first fallen ill. The community was most likely Santa Fe, now a ghost town in Haskell County, says Darlene Groth, curator at Haskell County Historical Society in Sublette."
