Almost exactly a year ago to date, the CDC and the mainstream media had warned of what they were calling the “tripledemic,” that it was not just Covid-19 Americans had to be worried about, but then also the flu – which had apparently taken a solid two-year hiatus, and everything had to be Covid – and RSV. The CDC at the time recommending mask-wearing once again that winter, on top of available vaccines.
A few weeks prior to that at that time, NBC was telling viewers to not hug or be around family members who were unvaccinated, or frankly just people in general unless they knew they were deemed safe to be around.
Now the CDC is again warning about this confluence of cases and disease.
The following report is by CNN:
Dr. Mandy Cohen, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, updated a congressional subcommittee Thursday about cases of respiratory illness in the US due to three viruses: flu, the coronavirus and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.
RSV season is in full swing.
Flu season is just beginning across most of the country, though accelerating fast, and while we’re seeing relatively low levels of Covid, Covid is still the primary cause of new respiratory hospitalizations and deaths, with about 15,000 hospitalizations and about 1,000 deaths every single week.
We are seeing a lot of RSV, particularly in the southern part of the country, so we’re near peak is what I would say for RSV.
We are also at the beginning of flu season. We’re actually having a pretty, what I would say, typical flu season. We do expect to see a lot more flu cases over the course of December and January.
Cohen told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
Covid is also rising again and continues to be the biggest threat of the three, she said.
Covid is still the respiratory virus that is putting the most number of folks in the hospital and taking their lives.
She said.
Cohen added that it remains important for Americans to get vaccinated, since there are now vaccines against all three of these respiratory illnesses. Should a person get sick, it’s also critical to be tested and get treatment, as most antiviral drugs are most effective when given early in an infection.
More than a third of adults and children have gotten their flu shot this year, according to the latest data from the CDC. But only about 16% of adults and 6% of children have gotten the new Covid-19 vaccine, rates that the CDC has said are lower than it would like to see. About 15% of older adults 60 and up have gotten the new RSV vaccine.
Respiratory virus activity is especially high in the Southern and Western US. Warren County in Ohio said this week that it’s experiencing an “outbreak” of pediatric pneumonia cases, with a large uptick in the number at one time. The pathogens involved include adenovirus, Streptococcus pnuemoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, bacteria that have been linked to a rising number of respiratory infections in China. Mycoplasma commonly causes mild respiratory infections, typically in crowded settings like schools, college residence halls and long-term care facilities.
Respiratory virus season is especially affecting children. In the week ending November 18, more than 10% of doctor’s visits among children younger than 5 in the US were for influenza-like illnesses – about three times higher than the average for all ages and well above the national baseline, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Pediatric hospital beds are filling up, too. About three-quarters of pediatric hospital beds are in use nationwide, federal data shows, and capacity hasn’t been this strained since mid-December 2022.
Hospitalizations for respiratory viruses – including Covid-19, flu and RSV – have been on the rise for months. Although Covid-19 represents the vast majority of respiratory virus hospitalizations overall, RSV is the most common culprit among children, with weekly admission rates rising 69% since the first week of October.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
It is also worth noting that there are new “pandemic” fears that media keeps drumming up as of recent, stemming from China, they tell us; while at the same time the WHO just issued ’emergency use’ approval for the updated Novavax Covid vaccine.
That said, this is just more fearmongering and false science as usual. No one at this point cares; but this is part of the “new normal” of trying to shove nonsense on us, of continued annual reinfection and flare-ups, with vaccines and new treatments at the ready. More money for Big Pharma.
[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:20-21
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

More fear porn, and the scary thing is that people will still fall for it!
This is the second female Jewish puppet and scapegoat the CDC has installed as its leader since the days of Jesuit Redfield. Hopefully, the first one wised up and kissed that popcorn stand. goodbye. I wonder what happened to scarf lady Birx?
I love the word tripledemic, lol. What’s next the 666th tuple pandemic.
Hands up for the big fat Tranny Trumps return. Since most Christians are looking at the big fat Tranny Cons return as messiah rather Christ himself.
My message to this CDC Director is ——-> LEARN A NEW TRICK!!!
