(GoRealNewsNow.com) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s latest flu report revealed a startling surge in cases across 43 states, with 32 states and Washington, D.C. experiencing “very high” levels of flu activity.
This alarming increase has led to 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths, including 57 child fatalities.
The 2024-2025 flu season has hit America hard, with the CDC reporting that two-thirds of states are experiencing “very high” flu activity.
This surge has resulted in school closures and overwhelmed healthcare systems, particularly in the South, Southwest, and Western states.
The percentage of doctor’s office visits for flu-like symptoms is higher than any winter flu season since 2009-2010, indicating a potential crisis in the making.
Despite the agency’s insistence on the importance of flu vaccinations, only 44% of adults and 45% of children have received flu shots this winter.
Interestingly, while the CDC promotes flu vaccinations, it has been suspiciously quiet about conducting expert interviews on the matter.
According to a PBS report, “The CDC declined to let an Associated Press reporter speak to an agency flu expert about the upswing.”
This lack of transparency from a government agency during a health crisis is concerning and may fuel skepticism about its motivations.
In addition to this complex situation, the agency has yet to report on the effectiveness of this season’s flu vaccine.
This absence of data and the push for widespread vaccination may leave many Americans questioning the rush to vaccinate without clear evidence of the vaccine’s efficacy.
While the flu dominates headlines, it is worth noting that COVID-19 and RSV cases are reportedly declining.
However, the CDC continues to promote COVID-19 vaccinations alongside flu shots despite low uptake rates of 23% for adults and 12% for children.
The specter of avian influenza looms on the horizon as if the current flu situation was not concerning enough.
A new strain of bird flu has been found in Nevada dairy cattle, and a Louisiana resident recently died after contracting avian influenza.
Although the agency claims no human-to-human transmission has been observed in the U.S., the potential for a more severe outbreak remains a worrying possibility.
As Americans face this intense flu season, it is crucial to stay informed and make decisions based on personal health needs and beliefs.
Even though the CDC recommends vaccinations and preventative measures like hand washing and avoiding close contact with sick individuals, it is up to each citizen to weigh the risks and benefits for themselves and their families.
In these challenging times, maintaining a healthy skepticism of government health mandates while prioritizing personal well-being may be the best course of action for many concerned patriots.
