I have enough background information of the flu pandemic of 1918, I just need the person so discovered it. If you could help me out that would be great! If possible, can you provide the source where you got it from? Thank you so much!

    it was a combined work. viral growth in embryonated hens' eggs was reported by Ernest William Goodpasture and colleagues at Vanderbilt University. The work was extended to growth of influenza virus by several workers, including Thomas Frances, Wilson Smith and Macfarlane Burnet, leading to the first experimental influenza vaccines.[58] In the 1940s, the US military developed the first approved inactivated vaccines for influenza, which were used in the Second World War. from wikipedia make it a good day
