Unraveling the optics of influenza, part 1

First, we will start here.  Most of us know that influenza suddenly “disappeared” from March 2020 until sometime in early 2022.  We essentially “skipped” two flu seasons.  We have all heard the why….”oh we were masking and social distancing”.  But we didn’t stop covid with those interventions, so how did flu go away?  Then we heard that covid “outcompeted” flu for dominance and THAT is why flu disappeared.  By that theory, how does norovirus, rhinovirus, enterovirus, and other creepy bugs still exist during flu season?  Why doesn’t flu wipe those out?  Or vice versa?

Here is some “reality check” when it comes to the past few years and flu.

1. First off, during the winter of 2020-2021, no one tested for the flu.  They only tested for covid.  I have always questioned the validity of those tests.  I have colleagues who work in metro ER’s that said “there isn’t even an order set for the flu testing this year” meaning winter 2020-2021.  Everything was covid testing.  Was covid really SARS COV-2, or was it a specific mutated flu virus they called SARS COV 2?  That is an answer we do not know yet.  If they had tested for flu and covid, would the results show positive for both during the winter of 2020-2021?  That’s would certainly muddy up the waters right before the covid vaccine was due to launch!  Did we have to make sure covid was dominant and no flu existed in people as the EUA injection was preparing to launch?  Did it feed the narrative of “look how well your flu shot worked this year!  Get the covid shot NOW!”  This is all hypothesized heavily in many scientific, research, and medical circles.

1. From the Ethical Skeptic:  More confirmation of the pre-existing immunity much of the population had to SARS-CoV-2.Because biology designed us to have such immunity. It was known to all immunologists in 2019. But fear, sponsorship & peer-pressure can often outweigh knowledge.

From the above journal article: Detection of SARS-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in SARS-CoV-2-unexposed donors has been explained by the presence of T cells primed by other coronaviruses. Based on the relative high frequency and prevalence of cross-reactive T cells, we hypothesized CMV (cytomegalovirus) may induce these cross-reactive T cells. Stimulation of pre-pandemic cryo-preserved PBMCs with SARS-CoV-2 peptides revealed that frequencies of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells were higher in CMV-seropositive donors. Characterization of these T cells demonstrated that membrane-specific CD4+ and spike-specific CD8+ T cells originate from cross-reactive CMV-specific T cells. Spike-specific CD8+ T cells recognize SARS-CoV-2 spike peptide These dual reactive CD8+ T cells were found in multiple donors as well as severe COVID-19 patients and shared a common T cell receptor (TCR), illustrating that cross-reactivity is happening. In conclusion, CMV-specific T cells cross-react with SARS-CoV-2, despite genetic differences in the viruses, and may contribute to the pre-existing immunity against SARS-CoV-2.  Take home message here:  most of us were immune to covid if we had had exposure to or an active infection of cytomegalovirus in the past.

1. To this day, we do not have an isolated genetic sequence of the actual covid virus.  There have been many FOIA requests made to the HHS for documentation pertaining to what they have on file for the genetic sequencing of covid/SARS COV-2.  See this link: https://www.fluoridefreepeel.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/CDC-no-neg-controls-PACKAGE-redacted.pdf

What this link shows one such request.

And, the results of her FOIA request:

They had no documents pertaining to her request.  Nothing.  Her reply back to them after her FOIA gave zero results was impressive.

Wouldn’t the CDC have an actual sequence of the virus at this point?  I mean, they used that sequence to create the covid injection.  This is the 4th FOIA request I have seen requesting the genomic sequence of SARS COV-2 that has resulted in zero findings.

What are we left to hypothesize here?  1, the FOIA response is a lie and they refuse to give the sequence to people who request it. That is suspect because usually a FOIA request will simply say “in the interest of national security, we cannot release those records”.  This one just says the defined terms requested do not exist.  2.  Covid is not what we ever thought it was in terms of a virus, it was the means to the end of getting the vaccine into as many people as possible.  3. Covid was always a respiratory illness but not what they said it was, it was a lab manipulated super flu/respiratory virus/who knows what virus that a test was created for to say everything upper respiratory was covid in order to elevate cases, fear, and vaccine uptake.

These are hypotheticals.  These are not concrete things we can say are certain.  But we have arrived to the point where these hypotheticals need to be considered as this “pandemic” enters year 3.

Part 2 tomorrow!
