The majority of deaths during the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 were not caused by the influenza virus acting alone, report researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. Instead, most victims succumbed to bacterial pneumonia following influenza virus infection.
Dude. The Spanish Flu is a virus, right from the source you linked. The people just died because of the bacterial pneumonia after the virus damaged the immune system.
Using 'nurse' in the organization name of 'Canadian Frontline Nurses' is misleading because the nurses leading the organization have either been fired for speaking out against C19 measures or are not currently practicing?
The article doesn't make that claim. They acknowledge that they are nurses and they acknowledge that there are nurses who are against vaccines.
It's right in the article: "the use of the word “nurse” in the bios of CFN’s founders and the group’s name itself lends a misplaced impression of credibility." Also: ""It's dangerous to put that title out there, meaning a nurse title, which obviously carries meaning for the public and then misrepresents truth or science," Villeneuve said."
Misplaced credibility != using nurse to mislead.
Finally, the subtitle of the article suggests that those behind the group are not actually nurses.
How can you say that when they literally call them nurses.
That's a hot take.
Spanish flu is from bacterial pneumonia, not the flu. They went back and checked. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/bacterial-pneumonia-caused-most-deaths-1918-influenza-pandemic is just one proof.

TIL what a hot take is :-) Thanks!
"a hot take is a "piece of deliberately provocative commentary that is based almost entirely on shallow moralizing""
