Flu season is coming fast and could be miserable, studies warn
Health officials are urging people to get their flu shots now, in an attempt to prevent further strain on hospitals already overwhelmed by Covid-19 and other viruses.
But I thought covid eliminated the flu?
It is notoriously difficult to predict what will happen in any flu season. But a combination of factors could make this winter particularly tough, experts said.
Or it could be a nothing-burger, like it was in 2020.
“Much of the immunity that we have as a population occurs because people in the population had influenza last year, and if they get a similar strain circulating, they won’t get influenza the second year,” Dr. Mark Roberts, director of the Public Health Dynamics Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, said during a media briefing recently.
Really? We had provinces cancelling flu shots because there was next to no demand/confirmed cases!
In other words, he said, the dramatic decrease in flu cases last year has the potential to dramatically increase cases this year.
That is NOT what he said.
But going from next to nothing, any increase will be a dramatically increase from the next to zero year!
What a complete dupe.
Anything to scare people to get the jab, any jab, multiple jabbed.
Heck, why not keep a IV in your arm, so they can pump you full of drugs anytime they (and big pharma) demands it.
