Ugh, my colleagues are insistent the flu is bad because people are no longer wearing masks this fall. Meanwhile, I live in a very red state, and masks haven't been very common for over a year. Why is flu so early?

A major factor appears to be a significant amount of immunological naivete among infants and children. The antisocial distancing and isolation aspects of the lunatic lockdowns resulted in a critical lack of exposure to routine respiratory pathogens, which is now catching up in the form of increased incidence of RSV and influenza pediatric cases.

While there is no hard data to support it, I have my suspicions that the mRNA inoculations have also left people with compromised immune systems, and we are seeing that with increased incidence of influenza.

But it's still just the flu, and bed rest and OJ is still the best treatment in most cases.

Don't forget the chicken soup!

i never worried about it before.

i see no point in worrying about it now.

for me to change my mind:

i want to see the following data in real time.

age, gender, bmi, serum Vit D. magnesium, etc.

illness status, flu cold etc.

and jab status for the last 10 years in the following type of vaccine and when.

i have a sneaking hunch the flu

jab doesn't help after 65 years old.

an interesting article:

"She and her colleagues worked with 32 ferrets, giving half the 2008 seasonal flu shot and the remainder a placebo injection. The work was blinded, meaning the researchers didn't know which ferrets received which shot. Later, all the ferrets were infected with the pandemic H1N1 virus.

The ferrets in the vaccine group became significantly sicker than the other animals, though all recovered.

"The findings that we show are consistent with the increased risk that we saw in the human studies," Ms. Skowronski said."

Let me see if I got how this works. Flu disappears pretty much completely during the Covid outbreak. (Hmm, Covid couldn't have just been a renamed version of the flu?) Let's scare everyone with a Scamdemic, Plandemic or whatever you want to call it. People get all jabbed up creating billions in profits for "Big Pharma". People now no longer want Covid jabs that might kill them, so "Big Pharma" like Pfizer, etc. have to get with the CDC and say the flu is coming back worse than ever. Hence more jab profits$$$$$$. And we can even call it a triple pandemic by adding RSV to the mix. Hell. let's just say Ebola is getting close to being here, Now that's something to definitely worry about and I'm serious on that one. But they are probably saving that one for a rainy day!!!

One of the word games the media plays in producing their virus fear porn is conflating "influenza" with "influenza like illness".

There are literally hundreds of viruses which produce "flu like symptoms" including seven different types of coronavirus. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is another one of those viruses.

One reason ILI stats are up this year is an increased incidence of pediatric RSV cases--which some doctors are blaming on COVID but would more accurately be the consequence of the lunatic lockdown policies which left a number of infants and young children immunologically naive, and thus more vulnerable to RSV and similar infections.

The whole concept of a "tripledemic" is absurd, because RSV and SARS-COV-2 are both infectious respiratory pathogens producing influenza like illness.

The commonality of ILI symptoms is such that most cases of "the flu" are caused by something other than influenza virus. Little more than 15% of influenza tests come back positive.

It's all a shell game to the corporate media.

For the muzzle wearers, test-takers and needle-addicted eejits, it will probably be the worst winter they've ever seen....which is unsurprising, considering how much damage they have been doing to themselves for going on three consecutive years now. There are consequences when you destroy your own immune system by living in an environment that causes a constant state of stress and fear, and are also concurrently doing actual harm with self-imposed chronic oxygen deprivation, and are injectioning and swabbing yourselves with graphene, heavy metals, drugs, PEG, and poisonous chemicals repeatedly. The suicidal nature of these behavioral choices is pretty obvious....to thinking people, that is.

Pretty much.
