The flu bug is dead! It had a long run of success at the CDC, being
used to rake in $BILLIONS in sales over the years with the yearly
influenza vaccine, but alas its run is over now, as it has been
supplanted by the new deadlier "virus,"
COVID-19.
Oh make no mistake about it, the CDC tried to keep both viruses
alive to have double the fear factor, and double the sales in
vaccines, but in the end there just weren't enough sick people to go
around and support both with actual death statistics.
So the flu
died...
COVID-19 is way
more scary than the annual flu, so one of them had to go, and people
were just too used to the annual flu and were
not fearing it as much anymore.
And if you think I
am using sarcasm here to make a point, then go listen to
Anthony
Fauci say the exact same thing back in
2019
when he stated,
people did not fear the flu enough anymore,
...and that
something new was needed, and hear it directly from his own mouth:
But everything is
OK if you are invested in pharmaceutical stocks.
The
Federal Reserve banks creating money out of thin air and then having
their puppet politicians give $TRILLIONS to the
pharmaceutical
industry, there was plenty of money to go around for other vaccines
besides COVID.
Then,
annual sales of the flu vaccine skyrocketed to
its highest total ever in the 2020-21 flu season, at 193.8 MILLION
doses, the same year the COVID-19 vaccines were introduced.
Talk about a
windfall for Big Pharma, wow...!
While they were
raking in record profits from the COVID-19 shots, they also profited
from the most doses of the flu vaccine ever sold, for a "disease"
that basically doesn't even exist anymore, according to the CDC's
own statistics.
Welcome to the
Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel, and their criminal front group,
the CDC...
Here is what the
CDC's official statistics are reporting for annual flu deaths since
2020, as of today, March 9, 2022:

Click on "Yearly" at the bottom of the table.
As you can clearly
see, the CDC's own data is showing that the flu is all but
disappearing as a cause of death, and is down to only 676 alleged
deaths in 2022.
I doubt that the
flu even makes the top 100 list of diseases causing death now.
How many people
allegedly died from the flu in the years prior to 2020 when COVID
was unleashed?
According to the CDC:
-
34,000
deaths in the 2018-2019 flu season
-
61,000
deaths in the 2017-2018 flu season
-
38,000
deaths in the 2016-2017 flu season
-
23,000
deaths in the 2015-2016 flu season
-
51,000
deaths in the 2014-2015 flu season
-
etc...

According to the
CDC's own currently published data, therefore, deaths caused by the
flu plummeted to the lowest numbers on record starting in 2020.
But doses of the
flu vaccine INCREASED to all-time highs during that same period.

I can imagine that
the pro-vaccine and pro-pharma people who are reading this up to
this point, are ready to jump up and declare:
"This is proof
that the flu vaccine worked!"
Ah, no. Remember
all the times I have published the stats from VAERS showing just how
many people have died and been injured following the COVID-19
"vaccines" and you had to deploy your "fact checkers" to do damage
control by saying "correlation does not prove causation"?
Yeah, that same
principle works here – you can't just say that whenever it is
convenient for you.
And besides, when
the 2021-2022 flu season began, they handed a script to the
corporate media that stated this year's flu season vaccine was NOT a
good match for the varieties of flu viruses circulating, and that
this was going to be a "bad flu season."
From
NBC News:
A poorly
matched flu shot could mean a bad flu season on top of a Covid
surge
by Akshay Syal,
M.D. and Berkeley Lovelace Jr.
The current flu
vaccines appear to be a bad match for the dominant strain so far
this influenza season, new research suggests, leading experts to
warn that the United States could be in for a bad flu season, on
top of what's already shaping up to be another devastating surge
of Covid cases.
Before each flu
season, scientists must predict which strains will be the most
common, and design a flu shot to match these predictions.
The flu shot
is never a perfect match for the influenza viruses that end up
in wide circulation, but even so, the vaccine still reduces a
person's risk of severe illness from the flu.
"Influenza
vaccination is the best protection against severe disease
and illness," he said.
"Even in
these years of mismatch, we see high effectiveness against
hospitalizations and severe disease."
Still, the
mismatch Hensley has observed so far is striking.
The last time
there was a mismatch this significant was during the 2014-15 flu
season, he said.
Even so, the vaccine prevented nearly 40,000
hospitalizations and almost 4,000 deaths from the flu that
season, the CDC estimates.
Full article
Actual text from the CDC website,
(which
used to be HERE - but now you can
find it
HERE or more detailed
HERE)
...regarding annual flu deaths.
The inconvenient
truth about how many people die from the flu each year, however, is
that these stats were based on "estimated" cases, and not laboratory
testing.
The CDC actually
admits this...
Sorry folks, but
you have been lied to by the CDC for a very long time. I have been
reporting about this scam regarding alleged annual flu deaths for
over a decade now.
It is simply a
scare technique to sell as many doses of the annual flu vaccine as
possible.
Are there
laboratory tests that can identify an "influenza virus"? Yes, they
have PCR tests for that. You know, that famous test that was
actually designed to identify viruses (sarcasm).
You can read about
these tests on the
CDC website.
Influenza virus
testing is not required to make a clinical diagnosis of
influenza in outpatients with suspected influenza, particularly
during increased influenza activity when seasonal influenza A
and B viruses are circulating in the local community.
However,
influenza virus testing can inform clinical management when the
results may influence clinical decisions such as whether to
initiate antiviral treatment, perform other diagnostic testing,
or to implement infection prevention and control measures for
influenza.
Most
importantly, clinicians should understand the limitations of
influenza virus tests and how to properly interpret the results,
particularly negative results.

Here is an excerpt
from an article written in 2014 by Lawrence Solomon
in the Huffington Post:
The CDC's
decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it
realized the public wasn't following its advice on the flu
vaccine.
During the 2003
flu season,
"the
manufacturers were telling us that they weren't receiving a
lot of orders for vaccine," Dr. Glen Nowak, associate
director for communications at CDC's National Immunization
Program, told National Public Radio.
Flu results in
"about 250,000 to 500,000 yearly deaths" worldwide, Wikipedia
tells us.
"The
typical estimate is 36,000 [deaths] a year in the United
States," reports NBC, citing the Centers for Disease
Control.
"Somewhere
between 4,000 and 8,000 Canadians a year die of influenza
and its related complications, according to the Public
Health Agency of Canada," the Globe and Mail says.
"Those
numbers are controversial because they are estimates."
"Controversial"
is an understatement, and not just in Canada, and not just
because the numbers are estimates.
The numbers
differ wildly from the sober tallies recorded on death
certificates - by law every certificate must show a cause - and
reported by the official agencies that collect and keep vital
statistics.
According to
the National
Vital Statistics System in the U.S., for example, annual flu
deaths in 2010 amounted to just 500 per year,
fewer than deaths
from ulcers (2,977), hernias (1,832) and pregnancy and
childbirth (825), and a far cry from the big killers such as
heart disease (597,689) and cancers (574,743).
The story is
similar in Canada, where unlikely killers likewise dwarf
Statistics Canada's count of flu deaths.
Even that 500
figure for the U.S. could be too high, according to analyses in
authoritative journals such as the American
Journal of Public Health and the British Medical Journal.
Only about
15-20 per cent of people who come down with flu-like symptoms
have the influenza virus - the other 80-85 per cent actually
caught rhinovirus or other germs that are indistinguishable from
the true flu without laboratory tests, which are rarely done.
In 2001, a year
in which death certificates listed 257 Americans as having died
of flu, only 18 were positively identified as true flus.
The other 239
were simply assumed to be flus and most likely had few true flus
among them.
"U.S. data
on influenza deaths are a mess," states a 2005 article in
the British Medical Journal entitled "Are
U.S. flu death figures more PR than science?"
This article
takes issue with the 36,000 flu-death figure commonly claimed,
and with describing "influenza/pneumonia" as the seventh leading
cause of death in the U.S.

As you can see from
Mr. Solomon's 2014 article, he quoted sources dating all the way
back to the early 2000s where this scam was exposed.
It just wasn't
published in the pharma-controlled corporate media, so those
spoon-fed the propaganda from this corporate media lined up every
year to get their flu shots, as
Big Pharma raked in huge profits
from producing hundreds of millions of doses of the flu vaccine
each year.
Dr. David
Brownstein is a doctor who regularly exposed this scam, although
the government has now stepped in and censored his writings scrubbing
his blog clean, but we have preserved many of his articles on this
topic.
In October of
2018, he
wrote:
The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention estimated that the 2017-2018 flu
season killed 80,000 and hospitalized 900,000 Americans.
Of
course, the mainstream media reported this as fact as shown in
this September 27, 2018 article in the Washington Post.
The
Powers-That-Be, including the CDC and the mainstream media, are
using these estimates to promote the flu shot for the upcoming
flu season.
Keep in mind,
the 80,000 deaths and 900,000 hospitalizations are ESTIMATES.
And, I can state, with authority, that they are very poor
estimates.
You see, deaths
from flu are always estimates because if the Powers-That-Be
reported the true numbers of deaths from actual influenza
infections, the numbers would be much lower and people would not
be so inclined to receive a flu shot.
How does the
CDC overestimate the number of flu deaths?
The CDC
accomplishes this by reporting a combined pneumonia and
influenza death rate. Every time I try to analyze this data, I
know I will have to spend at least an hour searching for the
true number who died from influenza because the CDC tries to
hide that data.
Why does the
CDC do this? The answer is easy: The more people that receive
the flu vaccine, the more money the CDC makes. You see, the CDC
holds patents on many vaccines including the flu vaccine.
Perhaps I could
tolerate the CDC combining pneumonia with flu deaths IF the
flu vaccine prevented both. However, the flu vaccine has never
been shown to have any impact on the number of deaths from
pneumonia.
In fact, for
the vast majority who receive it, the flu vaccine has little
impact on preventing the flu, but I digress.
In 2001 the CDC
reported that 62,034 died from influenza and pneumonia. That
year, I would bet that CDC proclaimed that flu killed over
50,000 Americans.
After a painful
hour of searching the CDCs database, I found the true 2001
numbers: 257 died from influenza and 61,777 died from
pneumonia.
Keep in mind,
any death from the flu is tragic, but those numbers are out of a
population of over 300 million. In 2010 (the latest year data
are available) there were 55,227 deaths due to pneumonia and
flu.
Flu killed
4,605 while pneumonia killed the rest.
So, let's go
back to last year's flu season. The flu season lasts about six
months. 80,000 deaths would lead one to conclude that 13,333
died per month (80,000/6 months) from the flu.
If we further
divide that number by 50 (the number of states), we can conclude
that there were 267 people dying each month in every state from
the flu.
Since the
internet provides 24-hour news cycles, I think we all would have
heard that about 9 people (267/30 days per month) in every
state dying daily from the flu.
I have five
practitioners in my office. We have over 100 years of
experience in treating patients. None of us has can recall a
single patient dying from the flu.
In fact, I can
guarantee you that if 9 people were dying in my state daily from
the flu, my partners and I would hear about it. In fact, there
are always headlines on the internet when one person dies from
the flu.
Studying the
past CDC data shows that each year a few hundred to a few
thousand die from the flu.
80,000 died
last year?
I say, "Fake News!"

Dr. David
Brownstein was attacked by the FTC in 2020 because he dared to heal
his patients testing positive for COVID with non-pharmaceutical
products such as Vitamin C. He was opposed to a COVID-19 vaccine.
They silenced him.
So how come all
these other Alt doctors currently enjoying superstar status in the
Alternative Media who are also opposed to the COVID-19 vaccines are
not being silenced?
I dare any reporter
or journalist in the Alternative Media to ask one of these current
superstar Alt doctors what they think about the annual flu vaccine,
and the scam that has surrounded it for over 2 decades now, and ask
them if they will use their current popularity to expose this CDC
scam.
Where have
they
been for the past 20 years while the CDC was promoting fear through
false flu statistics in order to sell worthless flu vaccines, which
have been the most dangerous vaccines in the U.S. during that time
being compensated for injuries and deaths through the
Vaccine Court of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation program
more than any other FDA approved vaccine?
Prior to COVID in
2020, the CDC budget included
over $5 BILLION to purchase vaccines
from pharmaceutical companies. It was $5.4 BILLION for 2019.
But today, here in
2022, the
CDC's budget to spend on vaccines has ballooned to over
$14.5 BILLION as part of The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
NOTE:
Since publishing
this article, I have gone through the
CDC 2022 budget again, and found another $5.1 BILLION on page 51
for "Vaccines for Children," which "is
a federally funded program that provides vaccines at no cost to
children who might not otherwise be vaccinated because of inability
to pay" which brings the total CDC budget for vaccines in 2022
to at least $19.6 BILLION.
The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is using $7.5 billion in
the Act to support activities to support COVID-19 vaccine
planning, distribution, monitoring, and tracking.
CDC is also
using $1 billion in the Act to strengthen vaccine confidence
across the United States through information and education to
enhance vaccination rates nationwide and reduce vaccine
hesitancy.
The Act
provides $6 billion in supplemental funds to support research,
development, manufacturing, production, and procurement of
vaccines, therapeutics, and medical supplies to respond to the
COVID-19 pandemic.

With a budget like
that to spend on
Big Pharma vaccines, I imagine the
career
bureaucrats who run the CDC and are in the pocket of Wall Street and
the pharmaceutical industry are saying:
"Flu death
statistics? We don't need no stinkin' flu death statistics. The
flu vaccines are already paid for."
If you don't want
to play their game and become another casualty statistic, the
solution is simple:
stop
fearing the disease...!
