The REAL Story Behind RSV & The So-Called "Tripledemic" MSM sources are now warning of a co-pandemics of flu, RSV and Covid…but is there any reason to be afraid? by Kit Knightly The “tripledemic” is upon us, according to the mainstream media. What is a “tripledemic”, you ask? Apparently, it’s when we have simultaneous pandemics of influenza, Covid and RSV at the same time. At least, according to the LA Times: "A 'Tripledemic' of flu, RSV and COVID is feared in California And the Atlantic: "What a 'Tripledemic' Means for Your Body And CBS: ""Tripledemic" in U.S. could bring deluge of patients to hospitals All three stories – and there are many others out there too – hit the same handful of talking points. They report that the flu is back after its “mysterious” disappearance during the Covid “pandemic” (the Alantic notes US flu cases reduced by well over 90% and calls it “getting lucky”, the doublethink is unbelievable). They also warn that Covid is “still around” or “not over”, or some variation on that them. However, the main thrust of the fear is reserved for RSV. Now, you’re all probably more than familiar with “flu”. And you’re definitely tired of hearing about Covid. But RSV could be a new one for you…so let me explain. 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 [emphasis added]: "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 […] 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”. THE DECEPTION Continued (and with an important afterword): https://losthorizons.com/N/219.htm#OV
