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.

That's the excuse I heard at the time - never made sense to me - if masks were effective, why weren't they used for decades against the flu.
as a matter of fact, for 2-3 years prior to COVID I had COPD-type coughing episodes. I asked my doctor if a mask would work - (I had plenty of masks that I wore while mowing my lawn during dusty conditions so as to not accentuate my coughing) No doctor ever said that they would have any effect against my getting the flu.
I wore them anyway - knowing I didn't have the flu, but as a courtesy to everyone else in the grocery store when I was out in public = because THEY wouldn't know if I was sick or not.

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

Data was fake you say? Interesting.

Most assuredly was and is a real virus. I agree there’s lots of fudging and uncertainty, but I promise you it’s a real virus. I fought a long fight with it and have the scars to show from it. In fact, its toll is underreported in all likelihood. It binds to ace2. Guess where there’s lots of ace2? Your heart. Guess what ace2 helps regulate? Blood pressure. All these sudden cardiac deaths? Yea, if a foreign protein, whether from a vaccine or a virus, is binding with your ace2 at high levels it’s gonna mess up your heart.

if you took remdesivir in the hospital,there is your problem

colds and flu, and they are effective, but not perfect
asians were wearing masks to keep from getting colds and flu for the last 10 years, and it does help a lot to stop the spread and is greatly effective to stop healthy people from getting colds and flu because sick people are hacking and caughing all over you and public areas
im not saying masks help stop covid, but they have lots of evidence they help stop colds and flu from spreading widely throughout the public

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.

No link, it's from memory, but I saw multiple stories that oddly never got any traction on doctors and researchers reporting that influenza numbers were down over 90% in the US, and the death rate from influenza was something like a 95% reduction from pre-corrvid years.

Ear loop masks don't do shite for the prevention of inhalation of airborne influenza virus. It's about 4× the size of the Covid virus but still passes easily through the air (and the mesh of cloth masks) and can remain there for some time, not much heavier than aerosols. General hygiene such as hand washing and avoiding touching potentially contaminated surfaces as much as possible are actions that are far more effective at prevention of catching the flu.
