WTF Happened to Influenza in 2020-2021?
Using the surveillance data from Canada Public Health, exploring the interaction between Influenza and SARS-CoV-2, and the science behind PCR testing, we've stumbled upon a problem.
It amazes me that this article was written in December 2021. It drops a few bombshells:
- massive coinfection rates for SARS-CoV-2 and influenza-A
- pre-infection with influenza A and then SARS-CoV-2, such that the flu promotes infection by SARS-CoV-2
- that some (all?) early PCR tests that were positive for SARS-CoV-2 were automatically presumed negative for influenza A and B
This last point means that if you had the flu and were subject to the multi-assay PCR test, yet had a SARS-CoV-2 coinfection, then a flu positive would have been suppressed. Hence the disappearance of the flu, and its replacement with a novel pathogen. -

Once the world lost its mind from the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Spring of 2020, myself and several others started to ask “Where’s influenza?” For a good chunk of t…
