I am still wondering about what happened to the flu. It was supposedly eradicated at the same time as covid spread. How likely is it that lockdowns and masks can do this, especially in countries that did not have those?
The WHO says:
At the same time, there is evidence that at least in the US there were no covid samples when the PCR tests for it were designed. Instead other samples were used, possibly from the flu as some claim. Jon Rappoport wrote:
Furthermore, now the PCR tests are being discontinued in the US in favor of testing methods that can test for both covid and the flu at the same time. They claim that this does not mean that the covid PCR tests were picking up on the flu.
One possibility is that current covid testing is detecting both the flu and covid (and possibly other coronaviruses) and all this is presented as covid cases.
The WHO says:
Between weeks 40 2020 and 8 2021, the World Health Organization European Region experienced a 99.8% reduction in sentinel influenza virus positive detections (33/25,606 tested; 0.1%) relative to an average of 14,966/39,407 (38.0%; p < 0.001) over the same time in the previous six seasons.
COVID-19 pandemic public health and physical distancing measures may have extinguished the 2020/21 European seasonal influenza epidemic with just a few sporadic detections of all viral subtypes. This might possibly continue during the remainder of the influenza season.
Very little influenza in the WHO European Region during the 2020/21 season, weeks 40 2020 to 8 2021

The CDC document is titled, “CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel.” It is dated July 13, 2020.
Buried deep in the document, on page 39 [The ‘Dec 1, 2020’ version moved it to page 42], in a section titled, “Performance Characteristics,” we have this: “Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available, assays [diagnostic tests] designed for detection of the 2019-nCoV RNA were tested with characterized stocks of in vitro transcribed full length RNA…”
The key phrase there is: “Since no quantified virus isolates of the 2019-nCoV are currently available…”
Every object that exists can be quantified, which is to say, measured. The use of the term “quantified” in that phrase means: the CDC has no measurable amount of the virus, because it is unavailable. THE CDC HAS NO VIRUS.
A further tip-off is the use of the word ‘isolates.” This means NO ISOLATED VIRUS IS AVAILABLE.
Another way to put it: NO ONE HAS AN ISOLATED SPECIMEN OF THE COVID-19 VIRUS.
