I was recently featured in a documentary titled "The End of Germ Theory" by Spacebusters. If you haven't watched it yet, I highly recommend it. Please enjoy and share it widely: https://t.co/OgEBhiRNRY

Milton Joseph Rosenau is mentioned at the 1:47 mark in his "Experiments to Determine Mode of Spread of Influenza," along with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Public Health Service.
The volunteers were all
of the most susceptible age, mostly between 18 and 25, only a few of them
around 30 years old; and all were in good physical condition. None of these volunteers, 100 all told in
number, had influenza; that is from the most careful histories that we could
elicit, they gave no account of a febrile attack of any kind during the
winter, except a few who were purposely selected, as having shown a typical
attack of influenza, in order to test questions of immunity, and for the
purpose of control.
Now, we proceeded
rather cautiously at first by administering what they claim was a pure culture
of the bacillus of influenza, meaning bacteria found in the boogers and lung fluid
of people with Spanish flu symptoms called Pfeiffer’s bacillus, in a rather
moderate amount, sprayed into the nostrils of a few healthy volunteers.
EXPERIMENTS AT GALLOPS
ISLAND
As the preliminary
trials proved negative, we became bolder, and selecting nineteen of our
volunteers, gave each one of them a very large quantity of a mixture of
13 different strains of the Pfeiffer bacillus, some of them obtained
recently from the lungs of necropsy; other were subcultures of varying age, and
each of the thirteen had, of course, a different history.
