Original Note:
In the sentence "A vaccine against the flu did not exist at the time." the phrase 'at that time' clearly points to the start of the pandemic. That later, during the pandemic, several vaccines against this new disease were tested is irrelevant to the fact-checked claim. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-vaccines-caused-1918-influe/false-claim-the-1918-influenza-pandemic-was-caused-by-vaccines-idUSKBN21J6X2
