Makes you wonder...

Here we go again, just this morning I have heard the term, tripledemic repetitively. If there is anything in your being that questions this narrative, consider the following.


Let's consider the "new" threat.

Most major news outlets report that the flu is back after its “mysterious” disappearance during the Covid “pandemic".

They also warn that Covid is “still around” or “not over”.

However, the main thrust of the fear is reserved for RSV. Now, you’re all probably more than familiar with “flu”. RSV could be a new one for you.


THE VIRUS

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is – according to virus theory – one of the many viruses circulating in the general population at all times. To quote the Mayo Clinic’s website:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes infections of the lungs and respiratory tract. It’s so common that most children have been infected with the virus by age 2. Respiratory syncytial (sin-SISH-ul) virus can also infect adults. In adults and older, healthy children, RSV symptoms are mild and typically mimic the common cold.

And according to the CDC:

Almost all children will have had an RSV infection by their second birthday... and most RSV infections go away on their own in a week or two.

So, according to official sources, RSV is not serious in the vast majority of cases, and almost all of us have already had it.

In fact, seeing as the symptoms are both generic and mild, the odds are you have had it multiple times throughout your life and never really known. It’s simply one of the many viruses known to cause what we refer to as “the common cold”.


There’s a trick being played here, and as usual in the age of the “pandemic”, it’s a trick of language. The powers that be are exploiting linguistic ambiguity in order to generate fear. I know! Polarizing statement!

Across most of the world, we simply refer to “a cold” or “the flu” almost interchangeably to describe the dozen or so respiratory infections we all get throughout our lifetime.

Most of the time we don’t know what specific virus or bacteria is supposedly the cause, we have no way of finding out and it doesn’t make any difference because the symptoms and treatments are all the same: Cough, fever, headache – bedrest, orange juice and painkillers.


Consider this, the Scientific American published an article in November which used this headline:

RSV Is Surging: What We Know about This Common and Surprisingly Dangerous Virus

Now, the headline claims RSV is “surprisingly dangerous”, but, the article seems to go out of its way to prove the opposite.

  • “the virus is so common that nearly all children have encountered it by their second birthday.”

  • “It’s that ubiquitous...Even adults are exposed to it repeatedly over time, so we develop some immunity to it.”

  • “In healthy adults and children, though, RSV typically presents as a common cold, with symptoms similar to those caused by other “common cold” viruses, such as rhinovirus, adenovirus and a couple of common coronaviruses.”

  • “For the average person, RSV is little more than a nuisance”

After giving the correct warning about the very young and elderly being more susceptible to serious viral consequences, they go on to add:

only about 1 to 2 percent of children under six months with RSV need hospitalization (usually for a couple of days), and death is rare.

Now, maybe you have noticed this pattern and are a bit suspicious. Sometimes we need a little push to start noticing.


To sum up – there is no reason to fear RSV infection. Yup, unless you choose to fear all potential viral infections, there is no reason to single out this one. The media are clear about that themselves, even if they bury it under provocative headlines.

It is just one of the many viruses which cause – or are said to cause – cold or flu symptoms, all of which circulate the whole world constantly, especially at this time of year. The only difference is now this common cycle is getting a name.


Why?

Well, maybe to sell vaccines?

Yes, you’ll be relieved to know that just as RSV is hitting the headlines for the first time ever, the first ever vaccines against it pop up. Sarcasm intended.


On November 1st, this made the news:

New RSV vaccines are coming. This is very, very good news.

Which claims:

After decades of failed efforts to produce an RSV vaccine, several highly effective ones are finally on the verge of approval.

On the same day, Pfizer announced, “positive top-line data” for their new RSV vaccine, with CNN reporting:

After promising trial results for maternal RSV vaccine, Pfizer says it will seek FDA approval this year

That’s right, after decades of trying and dozens of failed attempts, our pharma companies have finally managed to create vaccines just as the news of the issue is being brought to your attention.

Now, does that not bother you?
