Flu season arriving early in US, amid warning of a fast-spreading 'super flu' variant
Just the News ^ | 12-22-25 | Joseph Weber

The number of flu cases across the country is on the rise, following a global trend that is now reaching the U.S., say health care professionals.

Britain, Australia and Japan have already reported spikes, in what has turned out to be an early flu season, according to The New York Times.

Some of the areas seeing the biggest spikes so far include New York City, Denver and New Orleans, according to The Times and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s tracker.

The dominant strain of the flu virus circulating this season is H3N2 subclade K – a variant of the common H3N2 strain that appears to have a characteristic that enables the virus to spread more widely.

Flu shots this season were not specifically created to prevent people from contracting that strain but are still being recommended by some health care providers.

Stay off the Super Train, that’s where the super flu is most likely to be spread, also at the Fortress of Solitude, and Stately Wayne Manor, where the Bat flu began. At least that is what I read in the Journal of Overhyped Medical Emergencies.

I’m 72 and I’ve never had the flu so big yawn from me.

Me neither.

Either I am super healthy and my body laughs in the general direction of airborne diseases ... or I've never run into somebody with the flu and subsequently caught it.

Frankly, given what our medical "experts" have done to us, I distrust the yearly flu vaccine and don't believe they have not added something to it.

“ Flu shots are a COMPLETE FAILURE — they increase your risk of dementia (+38%), Alzheimer’s (+50%), AND the flu (+27%).

“The single LARGEST vaccine–dementia study ever conducted (n=13.3 million) finds common vaccines dose-dependently increase risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s for a FULL DECADE.

“A major Cleveland Clinic study (n=53,402) found −27% flu shot effectiveness during 2024–25 flu season.

Yawn. I’m still going to take any shots recommended by the CDC, regardless of who is president and who is HHS secretary.

Lol.

My wife and I have been running this experiment for decades.

She gets the flu shot every year.

I never get it.

Bottom line—she gets the flu about double the rate I do.

Go figure.

I got the flu shot. I get it every year. Even when the strains are mismatched, the flu shot provides significant protection against serious illness.


Is that what your BigPharma owned doc told you?

If you are having flue problems, make sure your damper is down.

Concomitant COVID and Influenza Vaccination Raise the Risk of Stroke

https://www.acsh.org/news/2023/10/30/concomitant-covid-and-influenza-vaccination-raise-risk-stroke-17435

My father’s medical office had an intern recommend and administer both shots at once because my father was ignorant enough to say “Yes.” Within a week he began experiencing negative symptoms, but after passing out in the bathroom on day 10 post-jabs he was released from the doctor’s visit after that event with recommendation to take aspirin for his pain.

3 days later he couldn’t support his own weight.

I believe that he did suffer a TIA in the bathroom - and possibly at least one more in the week following - and that he may be currently experiencing symptoms of GBS resulting from one or both of the jabs.

It took my own input to his doctor(s) to raise the alarm that he may have suffered a stroke. They outright rejected the assertion, even discharging him from his first SNF despite the fact that the week prior to discharge he still couldn’t support himself to sit up straight.

Now his charts reflect as much:

(G45.9) TRANSIENT CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA
(Z86.73) HX OF LACUNAR STROKE

Incredible coincidence that all of this occurred within 14 days of his jabs.

Oh, and by the way: On day 14 upon his admittance to ED he was found to have a gangrenous gallbladder. I’ve researched this: A clot in the gallbladder could prompt necrotic tissue within 14 days. But in his case, it was entirely without pain. Curious.

Again, incredible coincidence. But I’ll never be able to prove whether it was one, the other...or both.

Anyone reading this who feels the emotional need to take both of these shots:

The collective intelligence outside of the government and the AMA suggests spreading the shots out more than a week.

Me? Don’t do it. EITHER.

Free advice.
