It's fiduciary irresponsibility.

It is stupid to compare COVID19 with the flu.

It is stupid to compare COVID19 with the flu.

Really??? Why has the flu disappeared after the Coco appeared?

It appears that even the CDC confuses the flu for Covid.

CDC: COVID-19 Wiped Out the Flu Around the World This Year

The group examined data from 300 U.S. clinical laboratories in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the District of Columbia that participated in major surveillance systems.

In 2019, flu season started as normal in the U.S., increasing in early November with more than 20% of specimens testing positive for influenza from Dec. 15, 2019 to March 7, 2020.

But by March 22, while the number of samples tested remained high, percent positivity fell to 2.3%, and remained less than 1% since the week of April 5.

Below the equator, the numbers also point to a dramatically reduced flu season. Australia, Chile, and South Africa, where winter is now ending, reported just 55 positive specimens total across the three countries out of 83,307 tested (0.06%, 95% CI 0.04%-0.08%) during April-July compared to 25,000 specimens testing positive of 178,690 in 2019 (13.7%, 95% CI 13.6%-13.9%).

Thanks for the article. Part of the problem is that - if you get COVID19 - you have less of a chance to get the flu. Moreover, flu-like symptoms are among the symptoms one can get with COVID19, and thus a misdiagnosis is possible if - whilst having a flu - one does not take the COVID19 test, or take it properly.

The website for this article focuses on stories that will get clicks (cliskbait), in order to earn more money for investors, and acquire other medical websites. It's only 15 years old, and thus not known for substantial biasis, but the website was founded as a profit-making company, by this person: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/robert-stern

Source?

This is an interesting idea though.
The notion that one flu-symptom inducing illness could reduce susceptibility to another flu-symptom inducing illness.

However, there's strong evidence that the flu vaccine increases susceptibility to coronavirus infections.

Influenza Vaccine: Military Study Shows 36% Higher Odds Of Coronavirus, 2017-2018

Also, numerous sources have identified whatever it is that passes for Covid-19 in samples that existed prior to 2020.

However, a peer reviewed journal article has never been published, which details the methodology used to conclusively isolate the virus from all other biological materials.

PCR is a manufacturing process. It's not actually a test.

They're using misusing PCR to manufacture a biological sample sausage, and then claiming that they can see a new and previously unidentified virus strain in the PCR sausage.

It's not science. It's hoax sausage.
