Health experts in Norway have said that they are concerned about the spread of influenza this autumn and winter.

The experts say they are more apprehensive about the upcoming flu season this year than COVID variants, warning that the country could see more deaths and patients hospitalized than in normal years. […]

This year’s flu season has got health experts bracing themselves because strict infection control measures last winter aimed at curbing the spread of COVID had the knock-on effect of dramatically reducing influenza cases in Norway.

And while on the surface, this may seem like good news, overall it means that immunity in the population is much lower than in regular flu seasons.

In a typical season, it’s estimated that around 900 people in Norway die and 5,000 are hospitalized because of seasonal flu, but this year experts fear the number could be much higher. …

Well, vaccinated people prepares them for ADE, a side-effect which means a ‘normal’ infection may trigger an overwhelming immune response (all those spike proteins) creating runaway inflammation (cytokine storm). I guess ‘officials’ don’t want responsibility for priming the public for ADE and are going to start pointing to ‘flu’ in 5....4....3...2...

People who may have seen a doctor in previous years will be hesitant to go to one this year.

Why get tested positive for something [C*O*V*I*D] they might not even have.

Stock up on chicken soup

With their immune systems now destroyed with the vax, they ought to be worried. I have two universally virus-effective therapies ready to use with my still intact immune system so the gov’t can take their injections and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine.

Thought we were supposed to get the double vax booster that included the regular flu, too.

but this year experts fear the number could be much higher.

It also could be much lower.

Or it could be the same as 2019.
