Re-read what I said in my comment: the 2009 H1N1 "Swine flu" pandemic infected an estimated 11-21% of the entire human population. That's what after-the-fact antigen testing found out. The thing is, it turned out to be much less deadly than originally thought. So much so that the WHO was accused of effectively faking a pandemic. This isn't conspiracy theory material either: reputable scientists in the medical community were making these accusations. Leading to, for instance, a EU panel being convened to investigate what went wrong: https://healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/european-parliament-to-investigate-who-pandemic-scandal.html https://healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/european-parliament...
Far from being limited to a "few poultry farms" since the first 2009 pandemic, (H1N1)pdm09 continues to circulate, and was even the dominant subtype of influenza in the 2018/2019 flu season in the US: https://f1000research.com/articles/8-141 https://f1000research.com/articles/8-141
