Actual "Flu" (as in Influenza) cases are probably a lot less common than thought, but common colds are misdiagnosed as influenza particularly in elderly patients. Since there's not "shot" for the common cold, diagnosing more respiratory infections as "flu" helps to push the flu jab narrative. The flu jab has an efficacy of much less than 30% (certainly not the claimed 70-90%), like the COVID shot, it cannot prevent infection or transmission of the virus as the jab only creates IgG antibodies (systemic antibodies), rather than mucosal compartment IgA antibodies that are created via a natural infection.

There are also other factors, such as any death of an elderly person with even the slightest hint of a respiratory disease being classified as COVID, and the administration of morphine and midazolam in combination to elderly people in respiratory distress (that is MURDER). The argument that non-pharmaceutical interventions totally stopped flu doesn't hold water, otherwise they would have totally stopped COVID and the common cold, which they did not.

You could argue that social distancing, schools closing, lockdown measures prevented many flu cases.

There’s usually multiple NPC’s in every comment section. He forgot about masks though, they’re slipping, probably distracted and their brains are too full with Ukraine propaganda now.

As explained to him, Covid and the flu have the same mode of transmission, if flu cases were so low, Covid should’ve been low also.

No idea if he’s being sarcastic, with clown world it’s hard to tell anymore.

Yeah, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but even I noticed that the flu was "eradicated" by the COVID. LOL

The CDC actually listed covid as the flu on their own site and MSM lied (again) by never bringing it up.

In late 2021 according to CDC data 50% of "covid" deaths had flu as a co-morbidity. This alone completely debunked the prevailing narrative that flu had just disappeared and I redpilled quite a few people just by linking that data. In addition, the same data showed that only 6% of deaths were "from covid", the other 94% having various serious co-morbidities like cancer and organ failure. I think even this 6% number was inflated and the whole "pandemic" was largely a fabrication used as a pretext to murder people.
