Why Is the CDC Now Treating COVID Like It’s the Flu?
MSN ^ | 3/8 | Chas Danner

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday mothballed its longstanding COVID isolation guidance, announcing that people no longer need to isolate for five days after catching the coronavirus. Instead, per the CDC, they should stay home if they feel sick but can leave home and resume normal activities as soon as their symptoms are getting better and its been a day since they had a fever (without the help of fever-reducing medication). That means that the CDC is now both streamlining and simplifying its recommendations and advising people to treat their COVID infections like they would the flu or any other respiratory illness — even though the novel coronavirus is nothing like the flu or other common respiratory viruses.

Many public-health experts are backing the move, which is the first major change the CDC has made to the guidance since it reduced the isolation period from ten days to five in late 2021 and had been previewed last month in a report by the Washington Post. The CDC and the experts supporting the plan have noted that it makes sense for the agency to align its isolation guidance with how everyone is now living with COVID, four years after the start of the pandemic. That new normal is that COVID isn’t going away and people are still catching it, but the threat it poses and harm is causes continues to decline thanks to virtually everyone having some form of immunity owing to prior infection or the administration of widely available vaccines, in addition to the availability of effective life-saving antiviral treatments like Paxlovid.

Because the money has been made, it no longer has to consider covid to be anything more dangerous than it always was.

Because it always was.

The crime is that by April it was known it was not deadly in the way it initially seemed it could be, but the paranoia and germ o phobia was exploited for political power purposes which did many things, most important of all allowing the steal.

“so it can allow the merger of the covid vac with the flu vac into one jab...”

I think that ship sailed several months ago.

It was a cold virus rebranded because cold deaths had never been tracked so they could get rid of the Trumpster. If you haven’t figured it out yet you have bigger problems.

That won’t affect the clotting benefits, will it? :)

Many people I speak with express concern of a flu/covid vax mix.
(as in, covid mrna snuck into the mix)
Funny, when I do a search to see topics related to this,
almost all the returns are about the benefits of mrna based 'universal' flu vax's.
And almost all of those are articles from the NIH....

Well. Trusted government officials say so. It must be true.

Sick bastards may do exactly as you suggest. They may already have. No matter, I will still be safe from the china-vax because... my next flu shot will be my first.

How is Dr. Bill Gates and the WEF going to meet depopulation goals if you won't get your boosters and flu shots?

RUMBLE VIDEO Excess Deaths for Gen Z about 17% down from around 21% earlier C-19 Vaxxxxxxxine years

Getting the fools to vaxxxxx up with their flu shots could get EXCESS DEATH RATE back up over 20%!
