The Incredible Vanishing Flu

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 5/6/2021 4:11:20 AM

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.

The regular Flu was probably just swept under the Kung Flu rug.....if it looks like the flu, walks like the flu and quacks like the flu, then it’s just gotta be the Kung Flu.......good way to pad your numbers upward.

#1, They did the old switcheroo which democrats have perfected. Who in their right mind would trust any numbers coming out of government agencies? The distrust of the government is a big reason why people will not take the vaccine either. People do not trust the government and rightly so.

I am sick and tired of 'Communists Dictating Conditions'...CDC. Why is it that every government agency starts out with a good and useful purpose, then ends up as a megalomaniac behemoth that can't be resisted?

There will be a report coming out that states how effective the masks and lockdowns were against the flu. Bad government never admits mistakes.

Both sides are getting stupid. Yes flu cases are being recorded as Covid. But in the past people with colds and the flu went to work instead of using leave, they used public transportation and flew on planes. They went shopping. All that has changed for the better. I caught the swine flu when going on vacation one year from a jerk next to me on the plane who was catatonic. I hope that we make taking public transportation while sick a crime.

#6, bingo. Handwashing has long been known to be effective against colds and flu. I read that the China virus, unlike the common cold, is spread through much smaller droplets that are airborne for a for a fairly long time before dissipating. That is why handwashing and surface sanitizing is less effective against it than it is against other viral infections.

The Fauci and CDC moved the influenza cases to the panicdemic virus statistics to inflate the numbers as the U.S. seeks reparations from China for releasing the engineered virus. Hey, if people can think wearing masks prevent inhalation of a virus I can have my fantasy.

Well #8 - I rode the DC/MD/VA subway system for almost 25 years: winter, spring summer and fall. During am/pm rush hours, packed in like sardines, SRO. Winter months - riders were coughing, sneezing, etc and barely able to move an arm or hand to cover a cough or sneeze. No PSAs about wearing masks, wishing hands, etc. Never required to wear a mask until this past year. Filthy train cars probably never properly cleaned and disinfected until this past year. No sanitizer available in train cars or stations and I never got sick. But I agree, if you're sick and can take sick leave - just stay home.

Americans failed every civics test in the past years. COVIDS is just the latest example. It started with the hysteria of bodies stacked along the streets in China and Italy, the claims that the virus was biological warfare agents, the closing of borders, screams of xenophobia and all the rest. Orxon Welles could have written the script. And after an injection of hysteria, the US Government took over, starting with PDT putting Fauci and Birx out there as his front people. From that point on it was "trust the experts" as the craziness documented in the article outlines. If questions were asked they were drowned in a sea of propaganda and pop culture. Masks were cool, saving your grandmother from my virus. Lockdown orders came fast and furious from all sides. Businesses, particularly family businesses, were destroyed as these persisted. Landlords had their property "taken" with no eviction orders. And few squawked; none effectively. The public and its elected officials took a hike, cowed by the "experts" and "science." And here we are, still mired in the morass of vaccines, masks, social distancing, and propaganda. A few places have stepped up, but they're news because they are actually few. "Superspreader" events include family picnics, open to raid by the authorities in places...for our own good. Americans deserve an "F" in their civics. They are losing by surrender their personal sovereignty and liberty. Have been for years.

Flu cases dropped due to school closures. Parents, due to having to work, are prone to send the kids to school when sick, turning the schools into a petri dish. I used to do work in schools as an outside contractor, and between there and daycare centers I could not avoid the disease du jour.

"he pore size in standard surgical masks is 300 nm to 10,000 nm, far larger than either virus, meaning masks cannot explain the discrepancy. Masks don’t stop either virus, which is why we never masked up during past flu pandemics. Unless the masks contain a pore bouncer, letting in only COVID but telling influenza to get lost." Finally!!! Someone is saying what we have been saying all year! Where are the flu deaths? Usually about 60,000 a year. Where are the pneumonia deaths? Someone on this thread said that the Congressman that died in Texas had lung cancer for 2 years. Did anyone know that before CDC said he died of CoVID? Nooooo, because they want to scarrre us! To control us!

If you are reluctant to get the COVID vaccine and beginning to feel overrun by forces pressuring you to get vaccinated, you aren’t alone and you aren’t crazy. There’s a reason you feel the way you do. You are being manipulated. We are being bombarded with commercials pushing us to be socially responsible. Medical professionals, celebrities, and folks in our communities admonish us not to shirk our civic duty. Suddenly, the vaccine is the only way to normalcy. Friends and family openly brag about their vaccinations and gasp in astonishment when they find out you haven’t decided or, worse, that you will not get it.

We are in a dire and extreme condition as a country, where one of our two major parties is moving toward a total power-grab and a re-directing of our entire system of government. The left is positioning itself and has made significant headway already to control all branches of government in perpetuity. The days of "thinking through" differences are over as far as the Dems are concerned.

I expect the corporate media will ignore as much as possible the findings of a peer-reviewed study just published in the American Journal of Therapeutics that concludes the readily-available, inexpensive (off-patent) drug ivermectin is effective in treating existing cases of Covid-19 and in preventing coming down with the illness. Unlike the experimental vaccines that we are being ceaselessly urged to take, ivermectin has been around for many years and is safe for all but a few people.

President Joe Biden's proclamation of the annual National Day of Prayer failed to include the word 'God', an omission that is drawing criticism from some religious leaders. Biden, a devout Catholic, typically ends his public remarks with the phrase 'May God bless you all, and God protect our troops' - but his proclamation for Thursday's Day of Prayer contained no such acknowledgement of a higher power. 'Prayer has nourished countless souls and powered moral movements — including essential fights against racial injustice, child labor, and infringement on the rights of disabled Americans,' the proclamation read in part.

In the California governor’s race, candidate Caitlyn (née Bruce) Jenner has landed the first blow, and it’s a telling one. This week, the former Kardashian paterfamilias’ campaign released a three-minute ad that might as well have been titled “Make California Great Again.” It’s a killer ad because every Californian knows that under one-party Democratic rule, the Golden State isn’t so golden anymore. Jenner’s ad juxtaposes the California of an earlier era, intercut with footage of Bruce at the Olympics, and sharply contrasts those evocations of sun, fun and vitality with images from today, featuring homeless encampments, discarded hypodermic needles and shuttered businesses.
