The Great 2020 Seasonal Flu\/Influenza Disappearing Act<\/h1>\n

by Stephen Lendman<\/p>\n

According to the WHO, seasonal flu\/influenza practically disappeared this year in the southern hemisphere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn tropical South America, there were no influenza detections\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobally\u2026 influenza activity remained at lower levels than expected for this time of the year.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lower means flu practically didn\u2019t show up this year like always before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s 2019 Flu…<\/p>\n

And here’s 2020…<\/p>\n

Where have all the flu outbreaks gone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

See below.<\/p>\n

Separately, the WHO claimed that \u201cvarious hygiene (including mask wearing) and physical distancing measures\u2026likely played a role in reducing influenza virus transmission.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mask-wearing is ineffective and potentially harmful to health.<\/p>\n

Masks are porous. They have to be. Otherwise wearers would suffocate.<\/p>\n

Aerosol spores are minuscule. Able to penetrate all masks and concentrate beneath them risks greater harm to wearers than avoiding their use.<\/p>\n

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

The CDC casually said \u201c(s)easonal influenza activity in the United States remains lower than usual for this time of year.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n

It practically disappeared \u2014 or did it?<\/p>\n

Covid is \u201cseasonal influenza\u201d in disguise \u2014 in the US and worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its latest weekly reporting period pre-yearend, the CDC said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza at clinical laboratories is\u201d one-10th of 1%.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s practically nonexistent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the three-month period in the US ending in late December, findings were virtually the same.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s almost no seasonal influenza showing up this year because their outbreaks are called covid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall worldwide, seasonal influenza is around 98% lower this year than in earlier flu seasons.<\/p>\n

WHO spokesperson Dr. Sylvie Briand recently claimed that \u201cliterally there was nearly no flu in the Southern Hemisphere\u201d in 2020, adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope that the situation will be the same in the Northern Hemisphere\u201d at end of this flu season.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If the current trend continues as is highly likely, the\u00a0incidence of seasonal influenza will be minuscule\u00a0<\/strong>compared to previous years in northern and southern hemispheres.\u00a0At the same time in the US nationwide and worldwide, high numbers of covid are reported.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If accurately identified, they\u2019d be called influenza<\/strong><\/u>\u00a0that shows up annually in the US and abroad like clockwork.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unaccompanied by fear-mongering mass hysteria, lockdowns, quarantines, mask-wearing, social distancing, and most important:<\/p>\n

No economic collapse occurs that caused the Greatest Main Street Depression in US history this year that\u2019s likely to be protracted to maintain social control and continue transferring unprecedented amounts of wealth from ordinary people to the wealthy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They\u2019re enjoying a bonanza of riches from what\u2019s going on at the expense of most others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 15,\u00a0Nature.com<\/a>\u00a0noted that \u201c(m)easures meant to tame the coronavirus pandemic are quashing influenza and most other respiratory diseases\u201d – calling what\u2019s going on the \u201cinfluenza fizzle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claiming \u201clockdowns stopped flu in its tracks, (outbreaks) plummet(ting) by 98% in the United States\u201d ignored that what\u2019s called covid is seasonal influenza.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The great 2020 disappearing flu passes largely under the mass media\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n

Media proliferated mass deception and power of repetition get most people to believe that what\u2019s harmful to health and well-being is beneficial.<\/strong><\/p>\n
