Welcome Back Flu

After a hiatus of 2 years flu is making a come back.

"Hospital admissions for flu overtake those for covid for first time since pandemic began" Sly News - UK

Just in time for the annual "the nhs is overrun". Maybe we wont get "stay home, save the nhs" this year?

Many people have been masked for the past couple of years. It makes sense that the flu virus spread was impacted along with covid spread. Hopefully people have received their annual flu shot and continue to mask up when in crowds to reduce their likelihood of infection.

@windinhishair wake up genius. Flu shots don’t work. The rona shot doesn’t work. You’re playing right into their hands.

@losthorizons A had all the recommended shots against the imaginary Covid Virus, and against the imaginary Flu virus.. And I wore a mask. And it worked. I didnt even imagine I caught anything..😷

@losthorizons Flu shots do work, though it is dependant to some extent on the specific flu variants circulating that year. The covid shots and boosters have been a huge success. You might want to try reality sometime after your dalliance with disinformation.

You should get another booster. @whowasthatmaskedman

@losthorizons I will when the government offers me one...Thanks for the tip. I get that you dont trust your government. And after the way they have had you bend over and brace for the past few decades I get it. But some people vote the @$$holes out of office instead of drinking the "Murican" Koolaid..😷

@losthorizons Please provide the peer-reviewed evidence of the covid and flu shots being dangerous as well as ineffective. What was it that clued you in as to the vaccine danger? Was it the five-fold reduction in deaths for the vaccinated? The similar reduction in long covid? The reduction in infection rates? All of the above?
losthorizons · 51-55, M
Lmao seriously. Didn’t you see here yesterday the cdc ga ya from them posted. @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@losthorizons Seriously, if you have actual data that has been developed and reviewed by reputable scientists, please produce it for everyone to read. I would love to know how the five-fold reduction in death rates for vaccinated individuals proves the vaccine doesn't work and is, in fact, dangerous.
losthorizons · 51-55, M
It’s all right there. I’m not going to waste my time posting it to ha e you stay uneducated. Glad it works for you. Please take more boosters@windinhishair

@losthorizons Trumpese to English Translation. "You got nothing. Just another Trump fake"😷
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@losthorizons I see. So you have nothing but don't want to prove it to everyone. Typical Trump Cultist with not a fact to be seen.
losthorizons · 51-55, M
Morton. Look at the other thread. The cdc facts are there. It’s proven. But that’s ok. I want you to take your boosters like a good little lib and when you die of an MI we will just call it an accident @windinhishair
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@losthorizons You still cannot provide ANY evidence for your bogus claim, as was clear from the beginning.

@windinhishair "masks work". Explain the "wave" in china?
windinhishair · 61-69, M
@gol979 Masks have helped China keep the pandemic at bay for almost three years, but they cannot prevent all transmission. The efficacy of masking is shown in the reduction in covid transmission in the US when they are being worn, and the reduction in other airborne illnesses like the flu. Masking and vaccination is highly effective in reducing transmission and ensuring good outcomes for those who do become infected.

@losthorizons Is it just the influenza and covid vaccines that don't work? Or does the same apply to smallpox, poliomyelitis, measles, tetanus, etc.?
gol979 · 41-45, M
@windinhishair keep believing 😂😂
gol979 · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon so you think the covid injection "stops the spread" and is "safe and effective"?
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@gol979 Yes it is safe and effective. It hinders but does not stop the spread. It has both of these traits in common with other non-sterilising vaccines such as that for rotavirus and in fact most other vaccines. See, for instance, https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/coronavirus-few-vaccines-prevent-infection-heres-why-thats-not-problem
gol979 · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon yessss ok. Words have no meaning it seems. Double speak/inversions
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@gol979 What do you mean? What double speak/inversion?
gol979 · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon effective = not effective. Unless you think having up to 5 injections and more coming but still getting sick is effective, then you dont understand the word effective.

Safe = injuries and death. Verifiable that injections have caused injuries and death but apparently this is safe.

Language meaning is being inverted
ninalanyon · 61-69, T
@gol979 Will you apply your reasoning to the rotavirus vaccine as well? It has resulted in a 90% reduction in hospital admissions for that disease in the US since it was introduced in 2006. Yet it is also not 100% effective, nor is it sterilising. Where I live, Norway, those who are not vaccinated against COVID account for 80% of hospital admissions despite being only 20% of the population so it does seem to be effective.
gol979 · 41-45, M
@ninalanyon "its a pandemic of the uninjected". Yet more inversions.

And why would we talk about another medical product. I can just as easily bring up the swine flu injection that was pulled for safety concerns that was producing way better safety data than the covid injection
