One of the biggest mysteries of “the pandemic” involves the supposed disappearance of the flu. Did the flu really disappear during the covid hysteria era, or is something else a
Here’s the grand mystery, in meme format.
Now, during the confusion and panic of the last few years, there have been lots of explanations advanced about the supposed disappearance of the flu. The lockdowners and their credentialed institutions often claimed that masked worked (lol) to stop the flu, despite not working for covid. Others claimed that covid had some kind of viral dominance effect that defeated influenza strains.

Just watched a video about the annual cancer rate in women 45 and under going from 26,000 in 2019, to 297,000 in mid-2023.
The producer leaves the viewer to figure out what happened in that timeframe starting in 2020.
How I love rhetorical questions!
