The strange lack of flu cases this season has been noted by many people recently.

This has been attributed by some to the flu, pneumonia and Covid-19 numbers being lumped together, specifically to bump up the Covid-19 numbers for political and financial reasons.

A conspiracy no longer, the CDC quietly confirmed they were doing this lumping together by their creation of a new mortality stat, "PIC" (pneumonia, influenza, covid-19).

That could explain the low influenza statistics, but does it explain a lack of influenza type illness?

In that regard, this tweet thread by a pharmacist is interesting.

The main points are:

I have not dispensed any Tamiflu this season whatsoever. Tamiflu generic is the most prescribed medication for the flu, once you’re diagnosed having the flu. Extremely effective. I asked my friend Mike, who works as a salesman for a major national wholesaler, how much tamiflu and generic has he sold to Pharmacies this season. He hasn’t sold any. He has 75 accounts of independent pharmacies across the United States.

He goes on to interpret this as a result of misdiagnosis.

However, does this explain it completely?

A complete dearth in influenza medication purchases would seem to indicate that there is in fact less influenza going around this season, not just that it's now being mis-diagnosed as Covid-19.

So here's where things get interesting.

Grand Solar Minimum

As some might know, our sun is entering what's called a Solar Minimum, described by some as a Grand Solar Minimum

A Grand Solar Minimum occurs when several solar cycles exhibit lesser than average activity for decades or centuries. Solar cycles still occur during these grand solar minimum periods but are at a lower intensity than usual. Grand solar minima have shown some correlation with global and regional climate changes.

Activity on the sun is very low, and there have recently been long stretches of no activity.

Just as solar maximum sees many sunspots, the trough of solar minimum features low to near zero sunspots—and that's what's going on now.

How does this relate to Influenza?

Arthur Firstenberg’s book “The Invisible Rainbow” recounts quite a bit of history concerning electricity, radio waves and radiation effects upon the human body. (I have not read it but intend to)

One man wrote, based on Firstenberg’s book, how this narrative of explanation of viruses and flu has evolved:

The word “influenza” originated in Italy, is derived from the Medieval Latin word "influentia" which translates simply as "influence".

The first record of this illness occurred around the year 1580. As the phenomenon recurred, astute observers recognized that it tended to ‘pop up’ simultaneously in multiple locations, sometimes on multiple continents.

In an effort to explain this cognitively dissonant fact, Italian ‘scientists’ examined sun-spot records and noticed that outbreaks always seemed to coincide with peaks of sun-spot activity.

They understood that when the sun’s surface (or CORONA) was most active, there were mass-ejections from the sun that manifested as spectacular displays of the Aurora Borealis in northern climes and that there were also magnetic effects (or magnetic ‘waves’) from the sun that struck the earth with uncommon intensity at these times.

Thus the word “INFLUENZA became the name of this illness. “Influenza” being short for “Influenza delle stelle” … INFLUENCE OF THE STARS.

So, by the early 1600s European scientists had worked out that the cause of the illness now known as ‘influenza’ was the effect of unusual magnetic waves impacting the human body.

This “flu” narrative was accepted throughout the 1700s and 1800s. There were multiple references to the illnesses brought on by the proliferation of telegraph communications and the installation of AC power grids in US cities. Some of the reported effects were very serious for the persons involved, listlessness, loss of energy, depression, headaches and much more.

Now, if you believe we now know more than our ancestors about these things, and all that is disproved poppycock, just keep in mind that for basically the past 120 years, medicine and illness have been under the control of profit and social-control focused individuals and organisations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and Carnegie.

Though that's a long article, I highly recommend it:

Almost the whole world nowadays assumes the overwhelming emphasis of biological science on genetics and reductionism to be a logical and inevitable scientific one. But what the history of the Rockefeller Foundation shows is that the virtual wiping out of whole organism biology and the sidelining of diverse other approaches; such as of nutritional biology and of environmental determinism, was a carefully planned coup d’état. It was an overt seizure of the scientific estate intended to substitute genetic determinism for competing ideas about causation in biology.
