Seasonal influenza, also known as “the flu,” visits America every year, similar to tornados, thunderstorms, heat waves, and snowstorms. As tracked by the CDC, over the past decade symptomatic flu cases ranged from 9 to 45 million cases per year in the US. Hospitalizations varied from 140 to 810 thousand, and deaths from 12 to 61 thousand, depending on the particular year, strain of influenza, and effectiveness of the vaccine.
This year, “flu activity is unusually low at this time” according to CDC surveillance. Since late September 2020, they recorded only about 2000 cases, a minute fraction of the tens of millions of cases in past years.
Hospitalizations this flu season are minimal with only 224 confirmed influenza hospitalizations from September 2020 to mid-April 202, nowhere near the hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations in past seasons.
Deaths are harder to measure since the CDC conveniently changed how deaths are characterized this past year. Instead of pneumonia, influenza, and COVID being in separate categories, now it’s called PIC, lumping the three entities together.
For children, the CDC doesn’t use PIC as COVID hospitalization or death in children is exceedingly rare, unless the child is immunocompromised. In each of the past three years, pediatric deaths ranged from 144 to 198 per year. This current flu season has seen only one single child die from the flu.
So what happened to the flu? From millions of cases to a few thousand. It would like having a winter with no snow, which despite predictions of NY Times climate experts, hasn’t come close to happening.
Perhaps the flu cases are mysteriously lost, like Hillary Clinton’s emails, Hunter Biden’s laptop, or John Durham’s sealed indictments.

•
Does prior infection with seasonal human coronavirus OC43 protect against critical COVID-19?
•
Findings: In an international multi-center study (four tertiary care referral centers) inpatients without anti-HCoV OC43 NP antibodies had an increased risk of critical disease (adjusted odds ratio 2.68 [95% CI 1.09 - 7.05]), higher than the risk by increased age or BMI, and lower than the risk by male sex. A risk stratification based on sex and OC43 serostatus was derived from this analysis.
•
Meaning: Prior infections with seasonal HCoV OC43 have a protective effect against critical COVID-19.
And the obvious answer to the author’s last sentence, a question, is a resounding “HELL, NO!”
Covid is a LIE, it is about CONTROL, it is the FLU..PERIOD
Laboratories In US Can’t Find Covid-19 In 1500 Positive Tests

More proof that the whole covid pandemic was nothing but fr’kn BS!
I’ve had it.
Sure wasn’t the flu.
If the COVID response were a normal, health-focused set of strategies, one of the first questions of scientists would be, “what happened to the flu?” How did it go from millions of cases and thousands of deaths a year to virtually none? And, most of all, why is this not causing the least scientific curiosity?
I’d suspect it’s all about lying with statistics. The symptoms of colds and flus are very similar, with a flu affecting the lower respiratory system and thus being more likely to cause pneumonia, while a cold affects the upper respiratory system but can move into the lower airways and also result in pneumonia and congestion. However they can also be experienced together and are not mutually exclusive.
Btw, any virus infection can have the other, less-common effects, such as blood related issues, that are hyped by the media in the case of Covid. That’s how viruses work.
Now nobody is testing for the flu or, if they do, it is now being lumped into this new PIC category and being ascribed to covid. Everything is being attributed to covid, and has been since the beginning, even before they began regularly testing for it and even before they began using the manipulated testing procedure to elevate the numbers.
At the beginning of the covid panic, over a year ago, we were in the midst of the flu season and in fact it seemed to be a fairly standard flu season in terms of numbers. I know several people who had the flu at that time. And then it suddenly mysteriously disappears?
I don’t think so. The true disease is called politics.
Don’t get paid by the Government to diagnose Flu yo, get paid for diagnosing most anything and everything as COVID.......
People are not going to work sick, they are washing their hands, and staying away from each other.
If we could get them to go for a walk and stop smoking we would see a drop in other stuff as well.
I had it too. It wasn't even much of a cold. Allergy seasons are way worse than this thing ever was.
Excellent post.
This is what the Leftist/Globalists do.
They take something that occurs naturally, the flu or the weather and hype the crap out of it.
Covid 19 and previously Global warming. Sadly most people buy it, hook, line and sinker.
Major Religions do this with peoples fear of death, etc.
Evil Genius.
The perpetrators want us to believe that most people buy it. They're abetted in that falsehood by others who spread it for them.
**Major Religions do this with peoples fear of death, etc**
So Jesus was a fearmonger?.... telling the people about the wide way that leads to destruction,... of few that find eternal life,... of “weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth”.
Did I say Jesus?
No, I said major religions.
Think of all the scare tactics they impose to get the followers to obey.
To get a clue about who is behind this "everything is being attributed to covid" trend, does anybody remember when the democRATS attributed every problem in society and the world to ....climate change? There are unending lists on the internet blaming everything that climate change causes in an effort to convince the public of the seriousness of the effects of climate change.
This so-called pandemic, is just another in many of the liberal Left's similar schemes of "never let a crisis go to waste" to exploit the situation for their political agenda.
Everything they do furthers their goal of their true wet dream of a installing socialism in the US. A Socialist Revolution is their true goal.
Get rid of the free enterprise, individual freedoms, fossil fuel run capitalist economic system and replace it with a big government runs everything socialist economic system using sustainable fuels and controlling the masses with covid restraints on their freedoms.
Do not doubt for a moment that this covid crisis is manufactured, manipulated and controlled by the liberal Left democRATS for the very same reasons they push the Green New Deal to "fix" climate change. For power and money.
Faulty coronavirus kits suspected as goat and fruit test positive
Those are cults
So the belief taught that you must confess to a man, priest otherwise your sin or sins are not forgiven is from a cult?
Nay. It is taught from the Roman Catholic Faith.
