RSV was rarely seen in adults prior to covid shots. Now it’s a lot more frequent. Wonder why?

Sounds like all the Chinese expats returned to Italy after their holiday visits to China.

I live in Sicily. The health care here is phenomenal. Excellent doctors, modern facilities and a warm, human touch. You get seen very quickly in even an mild emergency. But alas, the bureaucracy, the incompetent administrators (nepotism) are a nightmare.

There has been a strong flu going around. Or is it COVID? Or is it actually the flu? Simply miraculous that the flu, which had disappeared here while Covid was supposedly running rampant the last few years, has magically reappeared here.

I didn’t say that. What is happening in Italy will happen here too after admitting the sick invaders.

>>> all because of a vaccination campaign that started late”.

So the UK doctors are complaining about being overworked due to not enough “vaccines” soon enough.

I call BS.

The doctors who could have prevented this were fired for speaking out AGAINST the “vaccinations”!

These IDIOT doctors are getting what they asked for.

Thank you for the insight. As an aside, I watched the Mafia Only Kills in Summer series. It is about Palermo during the 1970 as seen through the eyes of a child. It sort of had a bittersweet Il Postino vibe to it.

It was always around with most infections in infants & oddlers and the elderly. And, it always had years it waxed and years it waned.

It might have surged after Covid because a lot of people’s immune systems were lowered during all the lockdowns.

Immune systems that are isolated don’t make as many small encounters by which the immune system is improved.

I watched a couple of interviews with Geert Vander Bosch (sp.), a virologist, from Belgium,I think, -very upset about JN.1.

I am not good with accents, but what I got was that this variant was doing something different than the prior variants that terrified him.

My explanation is pretty rough - he thinks this variant has the potential to seriously harm and kill many people because it bypasses the Covid spike proteins, and go after t ells, or something, and the damaged immune systems (caused by the jabs) can’t then fight off the opportunistic infections that set in.

This looks like he might be right, and he made it very clear that he didn’t want to be right. It is worth hunting him up to double check my understanding of what he explained… I hope he is wrong, of course. He thought we would know soon if it was going to happen, and now this report seems to me to support his fears.

My cousin is a minister and has lived in Italy since 1973. They’re real snooty about the wonderfulness of Italy. But whenever there’s a major medical issue, they’re beating cheeks back to the good ol’ US of A for treatment.

Lots of Mafia violence in Palermo back then. After the Mafia murdered Falcone and Borsellino, the public outrage against the Mafia exploded, forcing an end to most of the overt violence. Now the Mafia in Sicily is low key - they make most of their cash though public contracts and the cement and trash industries.

Of course it still controls drugs and prostitution and a lot of politicians here. But the days of murdering shopkeepers who refuse to pay protection money are over.

Sicily is very safe now and very Old School. I do miss some things about living in the US but all in all I love it here. No DEI, no LGBTXYZ and no lunatic ferals running amok.

Are these the same fake pictures and reports foisted on the world from 2020?

If you buy a leather jacket made in Italy, many factories are not only owned by the Chinese but also worked in by the Chinese. Many of these are the people who returned to Italy after spending 2020 Chinese New Year in China and brought with them COVID-19.

When the immigration backlash comes, and it will, it won’t be pretty.

I see Italy is back at their “triage” again. In this case Triage means “let old people die.”

What is the correct thing to do when 10 people need life-saving treatment but there is only capacity to treat 7?

One would almost think there was a US Election cycle coming up.
