Why are so many people sick right now?

(NEXSTAR) – One week after the Thanksgiving holiday, and chances are good that you are sniffling, coughing or feeling a little scratch in your throat. It’s not just you – the country is contending with a “tripledemic” of viruses (not to mention, a whole lot of common cold).

As of late November, reported COVID-19 cases in the U.S. were stable, but high. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recorded about 300,000 new cases over the past week, but that number is likely an undercount, as home tests often aren’t reported to public health agencies.

Meanwhile, influenza is rising rapidly and on its way to a peak much earlier than the typical flu season. The CDC’s preliminary count is rough, but the agency believes as many as 14 million have been sickened and up to 8,400 people have died.

Because people were locked up in their homes for a year and a half and wore the stupid mask.

Haven’t noticed anyone I am normally around where I go in public, being sick or talking about all the sick people they have in their families.

Not completely true.

My daughter, who is always out and about, caught the Flu over Thanksgiving week and was pretty sick, unfortunately.

Because people obliterated their immune systems by repeatedly having themselves injected with poison

You hit the nail on the head.

As George Carlin once said, your immune system needs germs to practice on.

People who masked and huddled in doors because they were scared of the big, bad virus have significantly compromised immune systems.

For example...take your average NFL football team and put them on bedrest for two seasons. Then stick them into a game and see what happens.

It’s almost like millions of people did something stupid that compromised their immune system and left them open to all sorts of infection.

I wore the mask when I went out during the pandemic.

And I wore the mask last weekend when I went to Walmart.

Still not sick.

How could this be?

The flu was eliminated in 2021. Only covid.

By “sick,” do you mean all the LGBTQ perverts trying to push their mental illnesses on the rest of us as if it is normal behavior?

In the late Fall and early Winter, people get colds and the flu. Millions of people. It’s been that way for hundreds, or even thousands of years.

I had my post-Thanksgiving cold right on schedule and it lasted four days. I’m looking forward to my annual post-Christmas cold. It usually lays me up for a week and I miss the New Year’s Eve parties.

But no, we need to lock everybody down and get them triple-masked and boosted. Fauci knows best.

Don’t forget to add the stress this caused to that equation.

If you wanted to make sure a person’s immune system was weakened you could not come up with a better plan the anti-COVID measures imposed on the population. All of these were probably very stressful to people of all ages. Stress is a big factor in how well our immune system meets threats. It also increases insulin resistance leading to higher blood glucose levels. Along with insulin resistance stress causes an increase in inflammation. The end result of this is more sickness.

I bet you keep your mask(s) well washed at proper temp for killing germs. I think it likely you also get a good amount of fresh air without wearing a mask.
