The CDC Is Warning of a Second Wave of the Flu

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

The Centers for Disease Control are making one final push to help vaccine manufacturers make as much money as possible on this year’s ineffective flu shot.  They are now warning that there’s a second wave of the flu and it’s beginning now.

According to a March 23 statement by the government organization, a wave of the sometimes fatal Influenza B virus is spreading across the country at an unusually high rate. Although reported cases of influenza A (H3N2), which have dominated this flu season, decreased during the week of March 11, cases of Influenza B saw an unusual uptick over the same time period.

The CDC has specifically focused on children this time around. “We know that illness associated with influenza B can be just as severe as illness associated with influenza A,” CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund told CNN. “We also know that influenza B tends to be more severe for younger children.” Because of this, the CDC is hoping to convince those who didn’t get this year’s horribly ineffective flu vaccine will jump on the bandwagon, and get it now.

The CDC recommends flu shots for the unvaccinated while strains continue to circulate. It is possible for people who’ve been sick with one strain of the flu to get a different strain in the same season. Even though flu activity is declining, this second wave of influenza B cases was not unexpected, Nordlund said. “We often see a wave of influenza B during seasons when influenza A H3N2 was the predominant virus earlier in the season. Unfortunately, we don’t know what the influenza B wave will look like.”

During the week ending March 17, nearly 58% of all laboratory-confirmed cases of flu were caused by B-strain viruses, according to the CDC report. Circulating strains this season, which began in October, were a mix of A viruses (H3N2 and H1N1) and B viruses.

The flu has grown into a massive $1.6 billion business and propaganda campaign. There are a few major makers of the vaccine in the U.S.: Sanofi Pasteur is the largest, supplying a projected 65 million doses or more in 2015, followed by Australian company CSL, at up to 54 million doses (after acquiring Novartis’s flu vaccine unit in August), and GlaxoSmithKline, at up to 38 million doses.

      (This excludes the 2009 pandemic, when 358 pediatric deaths were reported to CDC during April 15, 2009, through October 2, 2010.)
      https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2015-2016.htm
      …………………………………………………………………………………..

      On average – 37 to 171 Deaths >>>> Total Per Year From FLU….. OUT OF …
      - 74 MILLION Under 18’s

      https://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp
      ………………………………………………………………………………….

      Even At The Top End – 171 PER YEAR – So INSIGNIFICANT….. That A CHILD is 3 X MORE LIKELY TO BE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING !!!!
      (Approx 500 Americans On Average Are Struck By Lightning Per YEAR.

      Ple-eeeeeeee-ase – Do Some DUE DILIGENCE BEFORE Just Copy & Pasting – CDC LIES & FEAR PORN

      e.g – HOW MANY ADULTS … DIED OF FLU ??? In The 2009/10 W.H.O Declared FLU PANDEMIC

      FACT FROM THE U.S Gov >>> CDC WEBSITE (See Link)
      ………………………………………………………………………

      Lets see if they are trying to “PANIC PEOPLE” with their ….. U.S
      FLU Deaths Figures – and have a look at some – SOLID BLACK AND WHITE
      “OFFICIAL REAL…. FLU DEATH FIGURES”

      Well that wasn’t hard to find – The U.S government – gives figures anually of
      - total U.S deaths per year
      - and then – breaks down that total – into individual – confirmed … causes of death.
      Lets have a look at figures for 2010

      Mortality experience in 2010
      • In 2010, a total of 2,468,435 resident (All Causes) deaths were registered in the United States

      (And How Many Were ….. >>>> INFLUENZA/FLU Deaths ???)

      National Vital Statistics Reports
      Volume 61, Number 4 May 8, 2013

      PAGE 39 Table 10. Number of deaths from 113 selected causes,

      Influenza and pneumonia (Combined)…………….…. (J09–J18) – 50,097

      INFLUENZA ………………………(Individual).…………… (J09–J11) – 500 <<<<<>>> 500 were FLU DEATHS <<<>>>> 500 are actually….. struck by lightening PER YEAR)
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_strike
      ………………………………………………………………………………………………

      So please check facts – SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH – It’s There In Black & White & Takes 10 Mins To Look For …. & FIND !!!!
