Oh, it’s just a coincidence that most people who get pneumonia had a bad flu right before/during. I don’t think you realize the death calculation error is the same. If they are dying with COVID-19, they are counting it as a death. Unless they are doing autopsies, which they aren’t, they are making educated guesses. But put your head in the sand one way and not the other, especially when TPTB have incentive to downplay risk of flu and up-play risk of COVID.
TPTB make big bux off of the flu vaccine.
If people were to realize that the ‘flu death’ number was cooked to the extreme they’d stop getting them every year.
Someone’s investments wouldn’t be as profitable.
