Nope

All deaths this year are China Virus.

Shot in the head by a rival gang member? China Virus.

Cancer from smoking all your life? China Virus.

Got to pump up those numbers to frick over America.

This. Let's wait for flu season to make judgements about the flu.

The regular flu is not a BLM supporter, therefore it has been cancelled

The one and only thing that is keeping all humans from achieving immortality is COVID-19.

Once that is solved, we all live forever...

Election years mean that all numbers can be skewed if it helps create a narrative.

I doubt flu kills anyone till after the election.


For those of you waiting on a CV vax, just remember that there is a flu vax and the flu still kills 60-80k a year here.

Sorry for the FB link but it’s worth a watch.

On average around 37k a year.

The spikes are typically with the annual vaccine of expected strains don’t match what happens.

CoV-SARS-2 doesn’t mutate anywhere near as fast as flu does(orders of magnitude less), so the constant vaccination campaign isn’t needed.

JBE is going to shut the state down for the flu season, order everyone to stay inside and weak mask for our protection.

it's twice as deadly as COVID-19 for those under the age of 20.
yet, we don't close/delay schools because of the flu.

Flu rate should be down big time with half the nation wearing masks. The total deaths to to all illness might end up looking okay when all said and done?

Are you implying we should be wearing masks everyday forever? Or that the experts were lying about masks before?

Only now do masks matter

Most states do not keep accurate records. Texas does the average over last few years is 10,000 deaths per years all confirmed by testting.

Flu vaccine is actually for several strains of flu including H1N1.

Actually last season (2018-2019), Texas had around 2k influenza deaths with about a third of countys primarily reporting their diagnosis with no testing.

Three strains are typically selected based on current epistemological activity in the Southern Hemisphere which may or may not include h1n1.

It’s pretty clear which way this board thinks the numbers are being skewed, but with the national government being 5/6 controlled by the Right and most states being controlled by the Right, why aren’t the numbers being skewed in the direction the Right prefers?

How come we aren’t hearing about outraged parents of gunshot victims or survivors of cancer patients eh claim their loved ones’ death certificates say “COVID-19” instead of cancer or GSW?

Did you know it’s against the law to falsify a state record like a death certificate? Is the State of Florida—controlled dominantly by Republicans—“faking“ 15,000 cases and dozens of deaths per day?
