Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb warned Wednesday that “we’re in for a whopper” of a flu season due to a lack of immunity in the US population. Gottlieb, who helmed the FDA under President Donald Trump and serves on Pfizer’s board of directors, made the chilling prediction during an interview on CNBC about workplace safety amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “We haven’t seen a flu season last year—we’re in for a whopper because we haven’t put immunity into the population in at least one and maybe now two years. When the flu does come back, and it will come back, it’s going to come back

It is difficult for me to believe anything any government agency or representative therein says anymore. Their credibility has dissipated to just about zero.

Are there any over-the-counter flu treatments available anywhere? My guess is, no. They have all ben made unavailable or illegal.

The PCR test ( aka the covid test ) could not differentiate between the flu and covid. Everyone that tested positive was told that they had covid and not the flu.A new test is supposed to be coming out the end of the year that can tell the difference between the two. This is CYA time for the FDA and the CDC.

This is how they will declare victory over Covid and claim their policies worked. New cases will be diagnosed as flu. Of course battling the whopper flu will now require you continue to give up your freedoms.

Lol, Flu season, what Flu season. Nobody has caught the Flu in over 2 years. Its all Covid now. Covid is used to control the population of the world. Amazing, new Covid variants come out faster than new Apple software for their I-phones.

For many years, I got my flu shot each year. At this point, I don't trust the folks in charge enough to get one.
Perhaps some day they'll earn back my trust. Right now, trust is at zero.

Why? COVID completely killed the flu last year, according to CDC and their numbers.

Last season ALL flu cases were reported as Wuhan virus. So....will they start reporting Wuhan virus or The Shot illnesses as "the flu" this season?
Their credibility is zero. Too many lies that we can prove are lies to believe anything that they say now.

They aren’t lying. This is the first warning shot. Everyone whose RNA is now compromised by that poison shot have bodies that won’t be able to fight the flu. Thus, a killer flu season. Like we’ve never seen. Get the shot, die from whatever’s out there. This is going to be ugly. Doctors who aren’t on the payroll have been saying this could happen from the beginning. This is the government just bracing you for it.

No problem! The scientists will just diagnose everyone with Flu as having Covid as they did last year. You don’t think that the Flu just took last year off, did you?

Exactly, #19. Those of us who listened to the Talibiden cabal’s supposedly lying and evil “Twelve doctors” have known this for the entire year.

Wrong again, #8. A Whopper is an expensive hamburger.
But in this case it's just a lie.

#5 is correct. This has resulted in a massive overcounting of the Wuhan Flu cases. Couple that with hospitals' gaming the figures for extra revenue and you get a doubling of of case numbers so the media can continue to hype the "deadly surge" as ABC described it the other night. No,I don't watch ABC but the local news will promote it as a lead-in to the nightly network with David Muir solemnly and somberly describing the rising numbers. Always out of context as in describing a county as having a 100% increase in deaths (4 this month instead of 2 last month). I expect to see a sudden drop in the hysterical virus coverage when they realize that Biden is now getting blamed for the disruption. The administration would like something, anything to drop the numbers now hence the storm trooper tactics to make everybody take the vax. The vax that Trump fast-walked was dismissed by the media and the left last year. Now it seems to be the Holy Grail to our fascist leadership.

#23 - $6.99 is expensive?
I don't eat them because I'd rather spend a little more and get a better burger Or better yet a beef/bison burger, I also buy only organic.
Bison is leaner than beef and may be a healthier choice if you're looking to reduce your calorie or fat intake. It has nearly 25% fewer calories than beef and is lower in total and saturated fat. Additionally, due to its lower fat content, bison has finer fat marbling, yielding softer and more tender meat

That is not going to happen as long as hospitals get paid more for COVID cases.

Context is everything, #26.
I agree with all you say. I LOVE bison burgers and would NEVER order a Whopper burger, haven't eaten one in probably 40 years or more. Any time a bison burger is on the menu, I order it. I had several on our most recent trip out west, but they are sadly hard to find in KC area.
But on the Burger King menu, which is the context for the Whopper as a burger, it is one of the big expensive burgers, not one of the small cheap burgers.

But, but, I thought that the flu was cured or something - whatever happened last flu season when the flu count went down and the covid count went way up? We all know they melded the two and made them practically all covid cases. I never realized how absolutely corrupt our government agencies were until last year. And my new favorite word describes the people telling us this false information and also the people who continue to believe them - sub-literate.

"The flu is back" because they'll stop counting flu cases as Covid cases so they can say the Covid shot works. Not a whopper as in a lie so big people should be arrested, but rather an opportunity for more record profits. Picture it, employers will be pressured to make their workers get flu shots atop the regular series of Covid shots. And then maybe statins, antidepressants so we can deal with Dreary America, anti-anxiety drugs so we stop worrying about the future. The sky's the limit when the FDA chairman slides his way over to a board of directors seat at a big pharma company, and nary a trace of shame.
