It Was Always the Flu
The world has been tracking the flu, more or less, since the Asiatic flu of 1889-1890, which took the lives of one million people (0.067%) out of a world population of 1.5 billion at the time. Given this long history of tracking the flu, I would think, with almost near certainty, that over the past 136 years, the illness has been pretty darn predictable.
That kind of naïve thinking went out the window in 2020, of course, when COVID came to town and decided to wreak havoc on the world for three years. According to statistics from Our World in Data, the flu simply all but vanished between April 1, 2020 and October 1, 2021 in the northern hemisphere and only made a modest comeback for the 2021-2022 flu season. I guess it was because of the masks, lock downs and social distancing, eh? Ya, right.
I believe that the flu never went away at all and it was just hiding behind a new scary mask called COVID-19. What better way to get billions of people to take a new experimental mRNA vaccine that killed most animals in pre-trials, than by claiming some new mysterious deadly virus had arrived that required a deep nasal cavity swab and thirty-five plus cycles in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) machine to know you had it.
No, the regular old flu would have to go.
They still have no clue where COVID came from five years later, in our technologically advanced world, even after a two-year investigation and an exhaustive 520 page report by the US Congressional Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. They’re still pushing the lab leak theory because nothing else adds up: COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
While we have all “moved on” from COVID, like breaking an emotional co-dependency with a narcissistic psychopath, the media is still pumping out its lies and distorting the facts on the flu and COVID. Take this CTV News article from last week, for example, talking about how widespread the flu is in Canada this year. They have the audacity to print this:
Newly published data shows cases of influenza in Canada are increasing, with the spread of the flu especially prevalent in certain parts of the country.
A respiratory surveillance update published Friday outlined the results of testing across Canada, highlighting that cases of influenza are increasing, based on testing conducted last week.
According to the federal report, the percentage of positive tests for influenza is now the highest Canada has seen since a previous peak at the beginning of the 2020-21 flu season.
Wow, that’s interesting because, for one, I didn’t know they were testing for the flu in 2020 and two, if I dial in on Canada on Our World in Data, there is absolutely no peak of the flu in the 2020-2021 flu season. Oops!
The peak only happened again in May 2022, according to the chart below. That’s pretty unusual for Canada, I would add, to skip two entire flu seasons. Oh, silly me, that’s right, most provincial restrictions had only been lifted by March 2022, that’s why. I guess we should have kept the mask muzzles on a little longer.
It’s kind of interesting to look at these charts because our neighbors to the south, who also skipped an entire flu season, start their next season right on time in October 2021. I guess it was those fewer restrictions the Yanks had down south that caused the flu to come out of hibernation and get back to work. Us Canadians should be forever grateful to comrade Trudeau and our provincial overseers for saving us from the 2021-2022 flu season by keeping us all locked down in our respective provincial borders. They did such a good job that not even one flu case got across the longest international land border in the world.
Now for the kicker. Well, two kickers really. Ready?
One. The powers that be could not admit there was flu during COVID because it would have ruined their narrative on how deadly COVID-19 was, a virus so deadly that we had to be reminded about it on a twenty-four-hour basis for two years. There was a small window to get as many people vaccinated as possible. All focus had to be on COVID. The flu couldn’t exist.
By the beginning of the 2021 flu season, over 50% of the population had been fully vaccinated in the US and Canada. Canada must have had an intended target of 80% full vaccination because the flu only started to creep up again in March 2022 when the country had reached that threshold.
Two. By gradually bringing the flu back into focus in 2021, people would not put two and two together as to why they were getting sick. If the flu, COVID-19 and now RSV were all circulating at the same time, all very similar illnesses, it would be harder for someone who is fully vaccinated to pinpoint the cause. They would certainly not suspect it was COVID-19 because the vaccines were 100% safe and effective, right?
No, the flu never went away. It was always here. The pandemic was used as a vehicle to mass vaccinate people and the bogyman used to get the job done was a virus called COVID-19 which, if believed to have existed at all, had a survival rate of 99.5% for healthy people under age 69 and 94.6% for healthy people above that age.
That influenza was eradicated for over a year, and then returned even as mandates were still in place in many parts of the world, should speak to our common senses that there was much more going on behind the scenes to prove that COVID was one of the biggest scams in history.
