The Great 2020 Seasonal Flu/Influenza Disappearing Act

Authored by Stephen Lendman,

According to the WHO, seasonal flu/influenza practically disappeared this year in the southern hemisphere.

“In tropical South America, there were no influenza detections…”

“Globally… influenza activity remained at lower levels than expected for this time of the year.”

Lower means flu practically didn’t show up this year like always before.

Here’s 2019 Flu…

And here’s 2020…

Where have all the flu outbreaks gone?

See below.

Separately, the WHO claimed that “various hygiene (including mask wearing) and physical distancing measures…likely played a role in reducing influenza virus transmission.”

Mask-wearing is ineffective and potentially harmful to health.

Masks are porous. They have to be. Otherwise wearers would suffocate.

Aerosol spores are minuscule. Able to penetrate all masks and concentrate beneath them risks greater harm to wearers than avoiding their use.

Everything ordered or recommended this year for protection did infinitely more harm than good – notably from lost jobs and income during lockdowns and quarantines.

The CDC casually said “(s)easonal influenza activity in the United States remains lower than usual for this time of year.”

It practically disappeared — or did it?

Covid is “seasonal influenza” in disguise — in the US and worldwide.

In its latest weekly reporting period pre-yearend, the CDC said:

“The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza at clinical laboratories is” one-10th of 1%.

It’s practically nonexistent.

For the three-month period in the US ending in late December, findings were virtually the same.

There’s almost no seasonal influenza showing up this year because their outbreaks are called covid.

Overall worldwide, seasonal influenza is around 98% lower this year than in earlier flu seasons.

WHO spokesperson Dr. Sylvie Briand recently claimed that “literally there was nearly no flu in the Southern Hemisphere” in 2020, adding:

“We hope that the situation will be the same in the Northern Hemisphere” at end of this flu season.

If the current trend continues as is highly likely, the incidence of seasonal influenza will be minuscule compared to previous years in northern and southern hemispheres. At the same time in the US nationwide and worldwide, high numbers of covid are reported.

If accurately identified, they’d be called influenza that shows up annually in the US and abroad like clockwork.

It’s unaccompanied by fear-mongering mass hysteria, lockdowns, quarantines, mask-wearing, social distancing, and most important:

No economic collapse occurs that caused the Greatest Main Street Depression in US history this year that’s likely to be protracted to maintain social control and continue transferring unprecedented amounts of wealth from ordinary people to the wealthy.

They’re enjoying a bonanza of riches from what’s going on at the expense of most others.

On December 15, Nature.com noted that “(m)easures meant to tame the coronavirus pandemic are quashing influenza and most other respiratory diseases” – calling what’s going on the “influenza fizzle.”

Claiming “lockdowns stopped flu in its tracks, (outbreaks) plummet(ting) by 98% in the United States” ignored that what’s called covid is seasonal influenza.

The great 2020 disappearing flu passes largely under the mass media’s radar.

Media proliferated mass deception and power of repetition get most people to believe that what’s harmful to health and well-being is beneficial.

You have to be a complete fucking moron not to be able to figure this out….

Funny how the MSM and talking heads can not question the facts… spoon fed bullshit and fear factor.

And they are pushing the cure in a needle… and masks for all 2021….

I will prefer the alien probe and a spaceship ride please.

Play the long game. Next year the flu ‘will come roaring back’. We will need to mask, lockdown, distance to knock it back like 2020/21. It might not be the plan only how it will be played. Various talking heads are saying none of the masks, lockdown, distance etc are going away anytime soon.

I red pilled another Mask Believer today. After with some chat with the store owner, I started with the question, ” Do you think these masks are doing any good?” Next the diatribe started, and of course she was bitching “about people not caring about others, and how they ought to do what they need to do…” I asked my standard go-to question, “Have you noticed that NO ONE has the flu this year?” The stupid bitch then said, “Well, it’s because everyone is wearing masks.” I then followed, and asked, “Well, if no one is getting the flu because of your “precautions”, then why are the hospitals saying everyone is getting the Chinese Virus?” What she said then was so haphazard and unintelligible I can’t even write out her quote. I next said, “You do know that every time they “diagnose” someone they get a $13,000 check from The Government.” By that time she was about pissed off. I really got her going when I told her my favorite Soviet proverb from the post Chernobyl Disaster era, “The only true thing about our country today is that everything is a lie.” She next started on how she didn’t like how Mr. Trump “did everything for the Russians, and how those people can never be trusted.” I told her, “So…. You mean you think you can trust out Government people nowadays?” She was rather miffed by then and tried to shame me ” for being such a cynic.”
Folks, It is really fun to do this to the unsuspected, the greater than 50% probability that the person you’re engaging is a true fucking idiot.

Why do you engage with idiots? You will never win as they have years of idiot experience under their belt.

No flu because we are calling everything COVID whether it is or not – I expect the common cold is way down as well.

Nah. They tabulated the results on a Dominion voting machine. After a brief interruption in tabulation late last night, all but a handful of influenza votes suddenly became Covid-19 votes.

When every death is a cov2 death what else would you expect, analysis is not necessary.
