It’s just the flu, bro…year 5 (a thread for Flubros and Flubras)

Four years ago we started this series of threads based on the premise that…it’s just the flu, bro. Essentially that Covid is just the flu. It should have been nothing more, from an impact point of view, nothing more than a bad flu season. The symptoms, treatment, prevention techniques for Covid were all similar to that of the flu.

We present as evidence…

https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0301-respiratory-virus.html

an excerpt- “The new guidance brings a unified approach to addressing risks from a range of common respiratory viral illnesses, such as COVID-19, flu, and RSV, which can cause significant health impacts and strain on hospitals and health care workers.”

Essentially a few thousand words are in the government link, all saying the same thing - Covid is just the Flu, bro.

We were told in March/April 2020, by the “experts,” that 5% of Americans would die that year from CoVID. I’ll never forget or forgive the fear they created, and that includes freepers who bought into the lie and excoriated those of us who believed it was basically the flu.

SARs is just a flu. Remember the HATE at anyone who said that back then?
Actual flu vanished during the pandemic. And it turns out that intubating someone with a bad flu, sedating them unconscious, pumping them with remdesivir to kill the kidneys, and then pumping them with fluids fills their lungs with fluid and they die.

The covid scam was a mass murder designed to help usher in mRNA, enrich big pharma and big box stores, kill the middle class, and most of all, DESTROY Trump’s roaring economy and usher in mail in voting.

It was a medical mass murder. I never heard of any nurse choreography in the Spanish Flu era.

Somebody should tell President Trump!

I mean, we wouldn’t want him to chose a side here that would result in an unnecessary economic lock down, a 2 trillion dollar loss in GDP, mail in ballots, a stolen election and eventually open borders.

That ... that would just be awful!

I was very skeptical of covid from the start, and said so here many times, because I know two elderly couples who got it and all tested positive in early 2020, who said it was nothing worse than a cold.

Sure, it hit others harder, but all four of these friends did nothing but take Tylenol and the like, as that was all that was known to do at the time, and they said there was nothing really to it. One of them was even working in his yard 2 days later after being diagnosed.

Obviously not everyone is the same but it proved to me it wasn’t something to be terrified about.

I didn’t post much on those threads but I never missed one - that’s why I didn’t need to be on the ping list LOL. Indeed strange times.

Really don’t think all that Kovid Krap changed anybody’s mind about our failing country but it did confirm all the things we knew weren’t right.

Thanks for doing that daily thread.

Four years of continuous falsity.

Continuing the tradition of falsity by now conflating guidance for a completely different time period, different levels of immunity among the population as a whole, and different variant of the virus altogether.

And you do this without any embarrassment whatsoever. Completely shameless.

First days of the lockdown:

I distinctly recall The Pogues doing a free live broadcast concert from a warehouse somewhere. Their St. Patrick’s day gig had just gotten cancelled due to the lockdowns starting.

Well, the average age of death from c-19 has been and remains around 80 years old. It is not unfair to compare it to the flu IMO. Some of us FReepers were on the right side of history and other were bewitched by government and pharma propaganda.

“COVID” was NEVER the deadly threat it was made out to be, and it absolutely was the flu.

Hey, here are a few questions for the Covidians who still haven’t come to grips with reality:

What was the average age of “COVID” victims? How does this compare to average life expectancy?

How many hospitalizations were there for “COVID” during ANY year of the “pandemic”? How many for the flu in an average year?

I’ll help you out with this one: in the U.S. in 2017/2018, there were 710,000 hospitalizations for the flu. In the U.S., “COVID” hospitalizations peaked at 140,000 in March 2021, and the cumulative total for any year doesn’t even appear to approach 710,000 (I can only estimate, because while it was easy to find a year-by-year total of influenza hospitalizations, totals for “COVID” are hard to find). Funny thing though, I never heard anything about hospitals being “overwhelmed” in 2017/2018.

What percentage of ICU beds are occupied, seasonally adjusted and proportionate to staff levels, in an average year? What percentage of ICU beds were occupied during the “pandemic” years?

Before 2022, what was the definition of a “vaccine”? What is it (supposedly) now? Why did it change?

The “COVID” fraud is all about burying anything that might give perspective or context. That’s why no one ever asks, much less gets a straight answer to, questions like those above.

Thank you for this thread. It helped to boost my spirits through a trying time for all of us. We must never forget the abuses and double-standards that were visited upon us in the name of science.

The people could not enjoy parks but Antifa/BLM were permitted to riot.

The People could not enjoy nor even open hair salons and beaches. Politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chris Christie could.

We learned from Dr. Fauci that paper masks were on the one hand worthless and on the other essesntial for stopping the spread if Covid-19.

The Navy deployed hospital ships and the Army field hospitals to meet the need but went almost wholly unused. Yet Governor Cuomo double-stacked the sick and elderly in the same nursing facilities.

We learned that many big blue states had sold or could not find reserves of respirators in the event of a medical emergency.

We also learned how governments will behave the next time. And how to stick together to keep our spirits up.

Kudos to you. You were right all along.

The deception continues as a placeholder to leave people thinking that another big, scary pandemic could be declared at any point; that we need all the laws squashing our constitutional rights still on the books; and that mass murder wasn’t committed by the protocols, hospitals, and medical staff who killed by the hundreds of thousands to create the illusion of a pandemic.

Do Not Forget
(Epic rant by FReeper Lightman)

Posted on 5/17/2022, 3:43:38 PM by Pajamajan

The following is something FReeper

Lightman posted on another thread:

“DO NOT FORGET what they’ve done to you.
Do not let their sudden realization they are in bad shape politically excuse the last
two-plus years of abuses.
They shut down your job.
Called many of you “non-essential.”
Closed your kids’ schools.
Expected you to live off $1200 for months while they got richer and richer.
Denied you the ability to be with your dying loved ones.
Then denied you the ability to give those loved ones a proper funeral.
While they let George Floyd have three.
While they went on vacation.
Visited family.
The hair salon.
They arrested you for paddle boarding by yourself.
They shut down the parks and the playgrounds.
They called you a grandma killer if you questioned them.
Suspended you from social media if you didn’t obey the narrative.

They called you domestic terrorists when you demanded your kids get the
education your tax dollars paid for.
They mocked you when you demanded a return to normalcy for children.
They sneer at your concern over empty shelves and exploding grocery and utility
bills.
They denied you the chance to try alternative treatments for COVID.
Then they fired you for not getting the vaccine.
When you stand up for your freedom, they call you Nazis and bigots.

Do not forget what they have done.
Do not forgive them.
They are hoping that, by November, you have forgotten the nightmare of the last 2+ years.
YOU struggle to make ends meet and the best the Biden administration can do is
free crack pipes for “racial equity.”
This is on top of the woke, cancel culture bull they shove down our throats, the
2020 riots, being accused of racism and bigotry because we oppose their agenda.
As the election draws closer, they’ll pretend they didn’t do any of this.
They’ll gaslight us.
Project.
Blame the GOP (like they tried to when defunding the police went south).

DO NOT give them power.
They haven’t learned a damn thing from this.
You re-elect them, and you can expect masks and lockdowns and nonsense in
perpetuity.
Not just for COVID, but for whatever else they deem a
“public health emergency” (guns, climate change).
(Remember, they are the very same people who ignore a pubic health emergency
aka AIDS.)
They will trample your rights.

VOTE THEM OUT.

NEVER FORGET.

REMEMBER
