Flu Has Disappeared Worldwide during the COVID Pandemic

Katie Peek – Scientific American April 29, 2021
Since the novel coronavirus began its global spread, influenza cases reported to the World Health Organization have dropped to minuscule levels. The reason, epidemiologists think, is that the public health measures taken to keep the coronavirus from spreading also stop the flu. Influenza viruses are transmitted in much the same way as SARS-CoV-2, but they are less effective at jumping from host to host.
As Scientific American reported last fall, the drop-off in flu numbers was both swift and universal. Since then, cases have stayed remarkably low. “There’s just no flu circulating,” says Greg Poland, who has studied the disease at the Mayo Clinic for decades. The U.S. saw about 600 deaths from influenza during the 2020–2021 flu season. In comparison, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated there were roughly 22,000 deaths in the prior season and 34,000 two seasons ago.
Because each year’s flu vaccine is based on strains that have been circulating during the past year, it is unclear how next year’s vaccine will fare, should the typical patterns of the disease return. The WHO made its flu strain recommendations for vaccines in late February as usual, but they were based on far fewer cases than in a common year. At the same time, with fewer virus particles circulating in the world, there is less chance of an upcoming mutation, so it is possible the 2021–2022 vaccine will prove extra effective.
Public health experts are grateful for the reprieve. Some are also worried about a lost immune response, however. If influenza subsides for several years, today’s toddlers could miss a chance to have an early-age response imprinted on their immune system. That could be good or bad, depending on what strains circulate during the rest of their life. For now, future flu transmission remains a roll of the dice.

Of course the common flu is being passed off as covid, you would have surmised that by the 99% plus recovery rates. Simple as that. What is also glaringly obvious is media censorship and the absence of (televised) public debates that would be presenting serious challenges to the official govt narratives.
These simple facts speak volumes but saturating a fiercely-controlled mainstream media with over-the-top fear porn is all that is needed for mind controlling huge swathes of the public unable to think for themselves when a basic gut instinct should be directing their consciences to research alternative sources for their information.
Totally screwing up any reliable science for anyone now to know what is really going on in this respect is the fact that all of our health authorities have been pressured by the “top-down” political and bureaucratic money and power brokers to call any flu-like disorder a Covid case. For example, a 60-year-old father of a friend of mine goes to the hospital two days ago, with fatigue, weakness, a significant headache, and a runny nose. He has no loss of smell, or respiratory congestion or problems, or tightness in his chest. The ER gives him a CT scan to see if he is having a stroke, and they take a blood sample. The CT is negative. The blood sample is subjected to the over 80% false-positive PCR testing, and comes back positive for Covid. He is told he has Covid and given some prescription for a med which is not even a part of any known Covid treatment protocol and sent home. If he had the same cold or flu I had a few weeks ago then it is not Covid.
In my province most of those who go to a clinic or a hospital with flu symptoms are given the PCR tests with that over 80% false-positive result. If you come out negative no one is really able to say you do not have Covid, and if you come out positive that is a sign you have some kind of flu but not necessarily Covid. However, despite non-Covid symptoms, if the test result is positive, you will still be labeled as a Covid case. Most of the flus are no doubt being counted as Covid. Has transmission of all flus been suppressed by the Covid restrictions? Probably, but for any real science with the alleged spread of Covid in place of the other flus, and with all of the number fudging, no one can really tell how much if any.
One can understand how we all fall for deception (santa claus, easter bunny…) but demonstrable, easily proven lies continue to STAND OUT, yet are taken as indisputable fact by those who (for reasons known only to them) have more than enough reason to doubt. This is one, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure it out, either. The flu has been cured by the mass production of wooden nickles.
it does not matter that we know better . the ruling jew freemason mafia
will stick to their lie until the end ! to many jewish pharma companies
depend on this lie.
