A Tale of two Countries; Germany and Sweden
Influenza is back, where did it go and what does that mean?
Let’s get that link out of the way. Julius is the most knowledgable, truthful expert on viruses out there today. Much of my research comes directly from Julius. He is a hero and I may put a “In Julius We Trust”, sign in my yard.
The above chart is almost completely up to date. Remember cases are completely insignificant and are almost always a function of testing. Deaths and hospitalizations are what matters most.
As the world claimed Sweden was a cesspool of death (wrong again), the Swedes did not lock down or enforce any real mask or social distancing.
The Germans seemed to return to their 1930’s roots, only this time against their own citizens, by locking everything down and mandating everything. They are now doubling down with quarantine camps, new lockdowns, masks forever and vaccine passports. The Austrians are even worse. I had an Austrian colleague who said to me that anybody not vaccinated should be rounded up and shot. It was stunning to hear something so ignorant and violent. I assume the German and Austrian people as a whole, do not think along these lines. I will never communicate with that jackass again.
For all practical purposes, the “pandemic” is over for Sweden. That is simply because their natural immunity levels are high enough so that any new variants are far less severe. Yes, that is a strong statement, so let’s talk a little about viruses. Again, much of this is explained in greater detail in several of Julius Ruechel’s posts.
We will begin with the Influenza Virus. What happened to the flu for the last two years?
There are several schools of thought about the flu, they include:
Because of lockdowns, masks and social distancing, the flu could not spread (Totally absurd, anybody that understands viruses knows this)
All the flu cases have been credited to COVID-19. While I am sure some have, this is simply NOT the case.
So what did happen to the flu? What can the flu or the return of the flu tell us about the supposed COVID-19 Pandemic?
Viral Interference explains why the flu disappeared. Think of it this way; there are currently over 200 active viruses that infect humans, birds and animals. However, there is also a pecking order to these viruses. If they could all attack at once, life could not exist, plain and simple. Viral interference is when one virus closes the door to the cell for other viruses. Almost always that virus is the new kid on the block. The new kid on the block is usually pretty potent too. Viruses by their nature do not want to kill their hosts. If they did, the virus would be committing viral suicide. No hosts, no virus. As viruses evolve, they almost always weaken and become more contagious.
In late 2019 the new kid on the block was a virus that either made an unprecedented jump from an animal to human and became highly contagious (never happened in the history of viruses, ever) or a virus that was created in a lab, taught to be highly contagious in humans and either escaped or was released (as a bioweapon). That virus was COVID-19. As it spread through the population, it interfered with the various mutations of the Influenza virus. It was relatively new and just getting its footing, so the initial variants were more severe. In a nutshell, that is what happened to the flu. Ironically, it should have only partially disappeared for a single year, but through incredible incompetence, we managed to kill it for 2-3 years depending on how incompetent your leaders were/are.
COVID-19 was not the first Corona Virus to spread among humans. Not even close. Enter Cross Reactive Immunity (CRI). CRI assured that many of us had some recognition of corona viruses and our bodies were somewhat trained to handle it. Many people were said to be “asymptomatic”. That means their immune systems already had a pretty good handle on corona viruses and were able to defeat the virus rather easily. None of the classic flu symptoms appeared because the immune system was able to deal with the virus quickly. The only people at risk were the immunocompromised, the same people at risk for the flu. Most honest scientists believe if we tallied deaths of people with the flu like we did deaths of people with COVID-19, the numbers would be very similar. That should scare the hell out of you, because we have lived with the flu forever, without stripping the world of basic human rights while destroying our economies.
In my own case, I did have symptoms but they were not very severe. In fact, an overwhelming percentage of the population was the same way or asymptomatic. In my case that meant no meds, doctor, hospital or ICU … I obviously survived.
Again, I encourage you to read up on Viral Interference. It is the reason the the flu and colds went away for a few years.
Back to my statement about Sweden. One indicator that the COVID-19 epidemic is over, is the return of the Flu. COVID-19 is no longer the new kid on the block and starting with the Delta strain/variant, it became much weaker. Omicron is much weaker than Delta. These variants are also much more contagious. This is exactly the behavior real scientists would expect of a virus. Sweden is a country with very high natural immunity, Germany is quite the opposite. Consider the following two charts:
First of all, look at the Y Axis. There is almost no Influenza in Germany. COVID-19 is still the king of the hill. Germany also has 8 times the population of Sweden but 1/400th the Influenza cases! That means for every 3,000 influenza cases in Sweden, Germany has one.
Remember; through exposures to cousin viruses our immune systems are better able to deal with other types of viruses, including new viruses. After 2 years of no Influenza, how severe is the Flu season going to be? You can bet it will be very severe, possibly even worse than the peek of COVID-19. Why? Because our so called leaders called everything wrong. Virology 101 says, allow the virus to spread through the healthy and do your best to protect the immunocompromised. Many blue states actually did the complete opposite of that and their Governors and health leaders should be held accountable. Ironically, the return of the flu could be the leading indicator in which countries / states handled the pandemic (their word not mine) the best/worst.
The Vaccine Lie
It is hard to believe that the President of the US is still calling this a pandemic of the unvaccinated. What did the vaccines do? Nothing. Vaccines were responsible for awful side effects, sometimes deadly, and delayed the end of the Pandemic. Each shot that was taken weakened your natural immune system and opened you up to potentially hundreds of side effects. We have no long-term follow up data, so we have no idea what will come of the “vaxxers” five or ten years down the road. Remember, if you were not immunocompromised, you had a 99.99% chance of surviving the COVID-19, just like the survival rate of the flu. That number is probably even higher because we never counted the asymptomatic. Instead, our nefarious leaders, forced these experimental medicines on a huge majority of the population through coercive measures. If you are below the age of 18, you had a better chance of being struck by lightening than dying of COVID-19. By the time the vaccines rolled around, we were almost done with the entire pandemic … so close. Fast forward, one year later, we are trying to poison our kids, how shameful can our leaders possibly be? What level are they willing stoop for the almighty dollar?
When you really get into the weeds of exactly what happened, an engineered virus, funded by the US Government was released on the world and our leaders so overreacted that we made it 10 times worse, you can’t help but to question the motives for why? This never needed to happen. It seems the key players were government officials, high ego incompetent medical people, punk software billionaires and the US and World Media. I am not letting China off the hook. That is the where COVID-19 originated. But it was US (mad) scientists that not only taught the Chinese how to enhance viruses (gain of function) but they were also present. Take the US scientists out of the equation and this never happens, just my opinion.
The brainwashing is so complete, that at least a solid half the population will not even consider that the virus was completely oversold to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It is so stunning to me that these people have such tunnel vision that they watch their neighbors drop from vaccines and blame the smart people who did not take the vaccine. Add to that the coercion used on real people to take the vaccine, like lose your job, or starve, that you have to wonder how long this can possibly last?
The brainwashed vaccinated, which Omicron is spreading through like wildfire, continue to say stupid things like, “Well I was sick for 2 weeks, but without my 4 shots I would have died”. Meanwhile, Omicron among the unvaccinated is a 2-day cold or upper respiratory infection or completely asymptomatic. It is almost like God is saying to these people, “Wake up!”

The only thing which is unique about the last 2 years is the response.
Some people are very wrapped up in statistics and biology, and they are very capable people making very sensible arguments, but given this whole situation hinges on a test who's Nobel laureate inventor said was incapable of and inappropriate for diagnosing disease, and given that all cause mortality remained unchanged until the "vaccine" and a year of lockdowns had taken their toll, and given this "novel" virus is so benign in all but the oldest, sickest, fattest, and closest to death, it is, to me, for all intents and purposes, a rebranding. If "COVID" didn't exist, they would have had to invent it, because it has always been merely a pretext to a massive restructuring. I believe they did invent it, and not in a lab.
We are informed that this years flu vaccine is but 30-40% effective against the known circulating flu variants. Last year they didn't bother to note the efficiency. Oddly the normal clamor for "get your flu shot" is muted in the US. We have yet to discover how badly immune systems might be damaged by the novel mRNA vaccines, the testing is underway with most of us as subjects.
