Anyone know what the death rate from INFLUENZA was during the "COVID-19" pandemic years??

I seem to recall that influenza deaths were 'way down' compared to normal years.
But I don't know how to quickly search that sort of data
figured our board of experts would have this stuff on tip of their tongue.
thanks to all.

I thought it was hardly any, according to the "experts". Everyone died from Covid. Period. There was nothing else.

the last years were probably 0 ,all counted as covid instead

well even if you were run over by a train or a bus, it was still listed as a covid death
but INFLUENZA was way down by huge margins because everyone had on those stupid masks, so it wasnt spreading to everyone as it normally did.
i believe it was reported that hospitals said it was down something like 60% lower than normal, but it was rare to find details because they were hiding so much and putting out so much fake data.

Not sure of numbers but I went from filling over 500 scripts for Oseltamivir in the flu season prior to the vid to less than 10 the first flu season that encompassed the pandemic

MUH “viral interference”
They straight up said the flu ceased to exist for a few years because reasons and stupid people believed it

Pharmacists reported little to no prescriptions for Tamiflu during covid. Tamiflu is the number 1 prescribed drug for the flu.

The numbers I recall are that prior to covid, 60 to 70K died per year to influenza. In 2021, it was like 1,925. Seems dubious.

I asked a couple dozen nurses at local hospitals if they were still performing flu tests, because I thought the 98% drop in flu diagnosis had to be a testing anomaly. They invariably said they started with a flu panel and only then would they perform a Covid test.
When positive flu tests began increasing again you can see a smooth parabolic shape to the curve. I never wore a mask (knew the history of evidence) or took the shot or a test, but believe the unprecedented drop in flu cases was true and real.
The term is “viral interference”. They compete with one another for dominance much like bacterial flora in your gut. I believe the common cold virus was altered enough (see Furin cleavage site) genetically that the populations previously acquired immunity was rendered useless and was naïve to this artificial variant allowing it to overtake the other respiratory infections.
You can see this effect well illustrated if you look up the “Glasgow Influenza Study”. 2009’s (swine?) flu epidemic shows how it suppressed other respiratory viruses.
And to answer the original question…the average infection fatality rate of the flu is around 0.1%. The IFR for Covid is generally agreed to be about .15%…on par with a “bad flu season”. It was never 3.6% like the imperial college of London and our retard media said.

The CDC didn’t officially track it, IIRC.
Missouri, as a state, had 1 Pneumonia and Influenza death for 2020, IIRC. Usually, the state averaged several thousand pneumonia/influenza deaths per year.

Muh masks!

I do know that the state of Missouri prior to covid routinely reported 140 to 180 annual deaths from the flu. 2020 was about 10.
