Yep. This might be the end game here. At least it was for the Spanish flu (and other coronaviruses in the past?). Ultimately, it mutates so that it transmits easier but with less lethality.

“Study” suggests a MAJOR infusion of Government cash needed to conduct MORE study to confirm the outlandish projection potentials that are proposed in this preliminary study. Of course, as always, the outcome of the ‘study’ is foundationally based on the outcome requirements by Government dictated at this next big funding increment.

⬆️ I know that Spanish flu is influenza. Was there a deadly coronavirus in the past? I assume there was. Not everything is recorded in the history books.

“ Except it’s so mild that no one has died from it yet.”

This. Their GIGO model is based on the results from other variants, the death rates of which occurred when we had less information and less effective treatments. That, and it was done by part of the medical establishment, which is no longer credible due to their enthusiastic shilling for the medical tyranny that their political masters are trying to impose.

Could it be the flu hyped up to keep the sheep fear ridden?

Along with such archaic pursuits as logic, science, and history, the Great Reset fanatics have destroyed data analysis.
First expert systems, then data science and predictive modeling have the potential (if used honestly) to make very smart decisions and to understand the uncertainties so one doesn’t make all-in choices on highly uncertain information.
Instead, in politics, weather, and triply so in this COVID crap, the techniques are used for propaganda and politics first, so that ‘model’ is now synonymous with ‘lie’ and “data shows” means no more or less than “what BS we want you to do or believe today.”
In this case, the chances of a ‘study’ coming up with any other conclusion than “moar booostars” and “doom for all if you don’t!” were 0%.

That would be the Bill Gates-funded Washington University Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME)? He’s the one who got this scare ball started....

How many cases or hospital admissions or deaths have been reported/attributed to the common flu so far this season....
I haven’t heard about even one.
To: Parmy
No. I four naz and Corona virus are like comparing golden retrievers and poodles. They are separate and distinct. This conspiracy theory that it is just influenza is preposterous.

"It’s not proof the treatment works, but he got better fast."
There are no magic bullets, up to and including the vaccines. Early on, I remember arguments about the effectiveness of HCQ. Proponents would point to a study and say, "See? It works: 97% of the people who used it recovered." Then critics would say, "Yeah, but 97% of the people who did nothing also recovered."
The fact is that it's hard to tell if a preventative measure (e.g., Zinc, Quercetin, D3) works because you don't know what would have happened without it. Having said that, I use Zinc, D3, and six or seven other OTC items that have been suggested as Covid-19 prophylactics.
As for the vaccines, they do seem to have short-term value in preventing (for most people) the worst effects of Covid-19. But the existence of serious side effects in the short-term, and possible insidious long-term effects, raise serious doubts about their safety. Not only that, but we are seeing increasing demands for boosters at an unprecedented level of frequency - three, four, or five a year, forever.
In addition to that, the vaccines have been an utter failure in securing herd-immunity, and may even be hindering it. Why are Covid-19 cases surging in many of the most vaccinated countries in the world? In some countries with high vaccination rates, there are now more cases of Covid-19 than when NO ONE was vaccinated.

A wave? No, it will be a TSUNAMI!!!!

Speaking of the flu, I have been seeing ads for a new flu vaccine, and - as do virtually all drug ads - the ads warn of various negative side effects and mention groups of people who either should not take the drug, or only after consulting with a doctor.
But those normal caveats are completely missing with the Covid-19 vaccines: everybody take them - NOW - no questions allowed, no exceptions allowed. And this is DESPITE unprecedented numbers of adverse effects being reported.

Interesting read. Gives a hint on where COVID-19 may ultimately end up.

There are zero commercials by the manufacturers.

I feel stupid, because I didn’t see this whole thing coming.
I thought people would immediately not comply.
I can’t believe how many cowards live amongst me.

"There are zero commercials by the manufacturers."
Right, just PSAs by health agencies. But I recently noticed an interesting "ad" sponsored by Squibb and Pfizer that warns people who experience unusual heart symptoms to consult their doctor. This ad is not associated with any drug, but just comes out of the blue. Is this ad an indirect admission that the vaccines may be causing heart issues?
