CDC director says U.S. isn't yet near peak Covid or flu levels for the season
nbcnews ^ | 12/21/2023 | Aria Bendix

Winter officially begins Thursday, and with the cold season comes an expected rise in rates of flu and Covid, said Dr. Mandy Cohen, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. is seeing a "sharp increase" in flu levels right now, particularly in the south, Cohen said Wednesday in an interview. Covid cases also appear to be climbing nationally, she said, while cases of respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, seem to have reached their highest point this season.

"We’re seeing RSV peak a bit sooner, but we do not believe we’re near yet at the peak of flu or Covid," Cohen said.

CDC should be shut down after what they did during covid. They have zero creditability.

Remember those blessed years of yore when we had never even heard of CDC much less had to put up with their sickness reports and their nagging us to do this or do that? Life was so blissful back then without the GD federal government butting its nose into our everyday lives every day of the week.

The Scamdemic is OVER.

“That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.”

The Globalist Cabal can forget that crap.

Nobody is buying it anymore.

I broke with tradition and read the article.

Ms CDC doesn’t even state WHEN they expect the peak. Btw, she had her 9 and 11-yr olds vaxxed.

So, how can you say we aren’t at the peak if you don’t have a CLUE when is the peak?

I’ll do your job, ma’am. The peak is next month - we ARE near the peak.

There is a SEASONAL DIMENSION to cases and fatalities, and not necessarily a "surge" or a "new strain of the virus" or the results of triple-masking, vaccines, or statist policies.

The majority of deaths in most countries can be attributed to causes that feature a distinct seasonal pattern. The figure depicts the relative monthly frequencies of nine selected causes of death in the United States for women and men combined for the years 1959–2014. The reported number of counts in parentheses in the title of each panel is the actual number of deaths.

Viruses gonna virus.

The federal government is so concerned about another pandemic, they’re allowing in 10,000 PER DAY from God knows where, to enter our country illegally, none of which has been inoculated, medically screened for TB, or immunized for anything!

Now someone tell me who the real enemy is?

Ay, por favor-esta mierda otra vez? CDC should get rid of all the big pharma vaxx commercials on TV, etc-and just STFU because no one who isn’t a real Covidian is paying any attention to them...

Since people are not running to get Wuhan boosters any more, CDC and pharma are advertising for pregnant women to get a vaxx for RSV-not for their health, but to vaxx their unborn baby against RSV-but I’m sure it is perfectly safe to vaxx an unborn human for a specific illness before they have developed an immune system of any kind, right?

Looks like we should all live in warm, balmy places where we can spend a lot of time outdoors...like SUMMER!

The “peak levels” dropped off sharply the beginning of Jan 2021. So there’s only another 10 days if history is a predictor of future levels.

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27.

"CDC director says U.S. isn't yet near peak Covid or flu levels for the season"


Emphasizing that I am not medically trained, please consider the following.

First, alleged from July 2021:

Professor Sucharit Bhakdi: We already have antibody memory immunity to COVID19, 99% of us immune. Vaccination is unnecessary & re-vaccination potentially life threatening. (July 7, 2021)

Next, it took me a little while to find a reasonably labeled CV19 hospitalization map for the end of 2023, first posted in FR on December 8, 2023.

COVID Map Shows US States With Increased Hospitalizations (non-FR)

Note that the most significant rise in CV19 hospitalizations as of Nov. 18, 2023 are the dark orange and light orange-colored states above the vitamin D3-deficient southern border of Kansas imo, corrections, insights welcome.

Vitamin D - The Sunshine Vitamin (non-FR)

Next, the following list of disturbing allegations is not intended to be complete.

Finally, I still wonder if medical history might have turned out happier if vitamin D3 had been discovered before vaccines were discovered and CV19 experimental jabs had been invented.

I would not believe the CDC if it announced that it was dark at midnight unless I looked outside to check for myself.

Maybe the CDC, FDA and Surgeon general would have credibility if they hired real medical professionals rather than big pharma pimps and whores.

“The “peak levels” dropped off sharply the beginning of Jan 2021. So there’s only another 10 days if history is a predictor of future levels.”

I’m getting good at missing the peak. Spent a week in the hospital in Dec. 2020 with covid pneumonia and was just tested positive yesterday. I knew something was brewing this Monday, and with my son, his wife and 4 month old son planning are coming in Wednesday night for 7 days, I figured I better get checked out. Needless to say our Christmas will be delayed.

The doctor sent a prescription in for Prednisone and after a not very convincing offer to prescribe Paxlovid I walked out with a paper script to do with what I pleased.

I started taking Ivermectin, zinc and vit. C yesterday and the Prednisone this morning.

Being my second bout I expect it to be less severe and so far that has been the case. Timeline to date:

Monday a little throat tickle.
Tuesday AM sore throat and low grade fever. Afternoon chills.
Wednesday AM sore throat low grade fever and few octaves lower in voice.
Thursday (today) extremely sore throat in morning. Quite a bit of sneezing throughout the day and a running nose but throat is better.

More of an annoyance than anything right now. Hoping tomorrow shows more improvement and we can plan on a combined Christmas and New Years get together.

I got the Wuhan red death last week for the 1st time. 2,days with paxlovid and it was over. Far quicker recovery than cold or flu
