That "51% attack" was a short lived mining stunt by Qubic. Qubic reorged roughly 36 minutes of history, 118 transactions went back to the mempool and zero coins were stolen. Monero's price actually went up after. Every PoW chain can get hit by something like this if someone temporarily outspends the honest hashrate, that's not a Monero only problem.
In respect to the 2017 inflation bug, the Monero network scanned the entire chain the day they found it and confirmed zero exploitation. It was also immediately patched and the network moved on like usual. "No way to know" is disingenuous cope, Monero actually verified that nothing occurred.
