Experts agree: There is no such thing as “Super Flu”.
Kit Knightly
Currently, the headlines all across the United Kingdom, and a handful of other nations, are full of references to “Super Flu”.
There is no such thing as “Super Flu”.
It is a term with no scientific meaning or even a solid definition. To confirm this we need look no further than this report from Channel 4 News:
NHS England is calling it a ‘super flu’, which is in fact its own phrase rather than anything scientific.
Or, even more tellingly, there is Devi Shridhar — the High Priestess of Covid hysteria herself — whose Guardian column is headlined “Don’t Call it the Super Flu”, and begins:
I should start by saying “super flu” is not a scientific term or one used by any academics or clinicians I work with. It’s a colloquial phrase that’s been used by various NHS England bosses and taken up by Wes Streeting, the health secretary, and Keir Starmer.
That’s that then. The experts have spoken: “Super Flu” is a colloquial phrase with no actual meaning.
So why does everyone keep describing the incipient flu season in those terms?
To quote Shridar again:
Amid all the noise, it’s difficult to know how bad this flu really is – and how much is political spin.
Isn’t it just?
Maybe it’s time we found out how bad this flu really is, and what about it (if anything) is “super”.
First, we should ask: Doe this flu have different symptoms? Or are the symptoms more severe?
It doesn’t, and they are not, as Dr Giuseppe Aragona tells the Independent [emphasis added]:
The symptoms and severity of H3N2 illness have been similar to seasonal flu, including fever, cough, runny nose, and possibly other symptoms, such as body aches, vomiting, or diarrhoea.
Ok, so its symptoms are common and not unusually severe. Then maybe it’s more transmissible? Or deadly?
Nope. At least, not according to the WHO experts quoted in Politico [emphasis added]:
While hospital admissions have been rising sharply due to the early arrival of flu season, there is currently no evidence that this season’s variant is more deadly or transmissible, experts at the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) told POLITICO.
OK, let’s sum up what we know so far:
- This flu has no unusual symptoms.
- Its symptoms are not unusually severe.
- It is not any more transmissible than normal.
- It is no more deadly than normal.
It seems there is nothing even odd about this flu, let alone “super”.
A lot of the news coverage is focusing on the potential danger to the NHS, with headlines warning this is “beyond catastrophic” and “pushing the NHS to the brink”.
But anyone with a half-decent memory, or the ability to Google, will tell you that headlines warning of overcrowded hospitals or a “winter crisis” are a yearly tradition in the UK:
The BBC explainer Flu in five charts – how this year’s winter outbreak is different even quotes experts who point this out, and notes that the NHS isn’t close to breaking point [emphasis added]:
Health experts at the King’s Fund think tank have said talk of an “unrelenting flu wave” has become worryingly familiar over recent years. But Chris Streather, the medical director for the NHS in London, said the situation was “well within the boundaries” of what the NHS could cope with.
So, it’s not an unusual flu, the NHS is not unusually strained, and there’s no overcrowding at all (so far).
The only aspect that seems even vaguely out of the ordinary is the timing. The BBC’s first graph displays this:
Looking at this graph (supposing it’s based on actual data) you can see the flu season spike starts roughly a week earlier than recent years. Some outlets are calling this unprecedented, but they are only comparing it to the last three or four years, so we have no idea if that’s true. The rate of increase is inline with the past, and it appears to be peaking already.
The government figures show the number of people visiting their GPs with “influenza-like illness” is basically normal, if again spiking slightly earlier than average:
A little search engine research will get you similar figures going back to 1999/2000, all spiking in-and-around week 49.
Likewise, the number of people being admitted to the hospital for flu is normal for the time of year:
Let us summarize one last time. The super flu:
- Has common symptoms.
- Of regular severity.
- It isn’t unusually infectious.
- Or especially deadly.
- The NHS isn’t more crowded than normal
- And is well within thresholds.
- A normal number of people are going to the GP.
- Resulting in a predictable rate of hospitalization.
Hardly “super”, is it?
None of this is “conspiracy theorist” stuff either, it is all mainstream data. These are the “experts” we’re supposed to listen to and the “science” we’re encouraged to follow.
And yet we’re faced with this bizarre situation, where the news in general is telling everyone to be scared, while the specifics go out of their way to highlight the fact there is, as yet, nothing at all to be scared of.
It all feels oddly familiar, doesn’t it?

Deja vu with covid. The hysterical predictions weren’t confirmed by the actual statistics. And that was so even right from the start.
But on the topic of public gullibility, I had a depressing exchange today at work whilst discussing the oddities about the Bondi Beach shooting. I was pointing out all those ludicrous coincidences with e.g. Oct 7 survivors and my work colleague’s eyes got bigger and bigger and she said, “Wow what are the chances of that?” And I realised she was taking it all at face value. When I made clear to her how ridiculous it was, she instantly changed the topic to something news related but dumb.
And I realised she’d confirmed that theory about The Big Lie. Nobody wants to disbelieve a big lie. They can snigger at the little ones.
That’s why the news can spin as much shit as it wants over the major issues. “Oh they surely wouldn’t lie about that!”
If that is a reference to the Plandemic, then I dont think that is the case this time.
During the Plandemic the MSM ran with fear porn headlines and stories which the so-called experts – those who were the preferred partners and therefore given airtime – backed up.
There were the likes of Susan Witchy Michie and her nudge unit along with Ferguson’s infamous modelling and the chuckle brothers Vallance and Whitty with their nightly grim reaper routine. This pantomime was repeated across the world with many countries having a similar routine and their own cast of characters.
Yet, now there are experts downplaying the flu headlines and they are given airtime by the MSM to do so. This includes experts such as Devi Shridhar and those from the WHO. These are not rengades, they are Agenda agents.
That begs the question, why?
So, either it has been decided that the flu narrative is a non-starter, since the public is not buying it, so it needs to kicked into the long grass.
Or, such agenda experts are being quoted to rebuild trust and credibility by rightly and honestly exposing the sensationalism of the current flu fear porn. Perhaps, such an exercise needs to be repeated a few times during as yet unknown (to the public) forthcoming events so that if and when Plandemic 2 gets the green light, the preferred ‘experts’ will once again be listened to.

Think about it:
Even if you accept the official numbers, 1 in 2,600 kids who get the COVID shot develop myocarditis… that’s a life long, life threatening injury.
Now think Disney.
Top rides move 17,000 – 30,000 people/kids a day. At that rate, it’s roughly 11 kids a day ending up with sudden heart damage. If Disney rides were destroying the lives of 11 or more children a day, the parks would be shut down and investigated immediately, wouldn’t they? Harry fisher
Just trying to share something, man. I’m sorry, but pending for that I just don’t understand.
Big Pharma investors need their money.
“So why does everyone keep describing the incipient flu season in those terms?”
It’s pretty obvious –
The Flu Vaccine Boom: Why Pharma Stocks Are Heating Up With Each Seasonal Surge (6/13/25)
“The influenza vaccine market is on the cusp of a transformative era, driven by recurring seasonal demand, technological innovation, and a growing recognition of vaccines as critical tools for public health. For investors, this convergence of factors creates a compelling case for long-term exposure to pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna (MRNA), which are at the forefront of flu vaccine R&D and production. Their stock performance and strategic investments suggest these equities could thrive as seasonal flu surges become a recurring revenue driver.”
Big Pharma is like the MIC, it’s a beast that needs feeding and the propaganda is like war propaganda, lies, deceptions, scare tactics, same playbook.
Its has the same hallmarks of the covid mSm alt media + lot who all had the worse
flu ever during covid. (translated: they believe it was weaponized engineered)
super flu exists to them types and they reckon there awake.
It isn’t a ‘super flu’ that is an intentional typo…
What it is:
It is…
‘Superfluous’
…!
A good take-down, using ‘their’ own data and propaganda. Happily, we haven’t as yet noticed evidence of mass-panic in our area. The same 3 people in town today (Buxton, Derbyshire) wearing masks who have never stopped wearing them since 2020, no increase so far.
Just a thought though: What is the basis of a ‘positive test’ for flu? Is it a similar fraud to the PCR test (and lateral-flow/rapid antigen versions) for ‘covid’ which continues to convince some people that they are ill whether or not they have any symptoms. I wonder whether the existence of ‘IT’ in the current case, allegedly the H3N2 virus, has been proved, scientifically and can really be tested for.
We have to assume that some people really are sick in December but as Kit says, it all feels oddly familiar.
Isn’t It absolutely crazy how
EQUALLY WELL this still APPLIES,
WITH or WITHOUT the word…
“Super”? 👊😎👍
Don’t remember if I mentioned this here before, but in the US, hospital beds have been downsized incrementally since the 80’s. Beckers Hospital Review is an industry newsletter that documented the transition. The 1980 US average of 4.5 beds per 1000 on West Coast States had descended to <2.5 beds per 1000. Oregon which as of 2020 was at 2.3 beds per 1000, lowest in the US, has been once again in the business of reducing "unused" beds due to institution "budgetary" constraints. Meaning AUSTERITY, setting up another future "crisis". In the US, THIS fact was responsible for the terrorizing claim of "overcrowded hospitals" during the LOCKDOWN period. Austerity, is a withdrawal of public services, a purposeful manufacture by "management" for profit and other "purposes". Like war and terror on the serf population. I tracked this and other facts during that period that proves the entire event's crisis components was actively amplified by all the big players, while amplifying fear at every stage. Total evil.
I see the graphs have no flu 20-22. Oh, that’s right, that’s when they called it COVID.
And even then, the symptoms were nothing to worry about.
I remember seeing one Australian report saying that the 2021 season was a non-event due to all the Covid precautions. Which makes sense — if you’r prepared to hide in your home, shutting down all social activity (including work) then you’re not likely to catch anything. (Covid is way more infectious than flu because its viruses don’t die as quickly so if you suppress Covid then flu just won’t get a look in.)
Viruses don’t really care about our opinions. They’ve got just one goal — to find a way into a cell and use that entry path to inject their RNA to get that cell to make more viruses. Its not intelligent, it just needs a protein ‘key’ to fit a ‘lock’ on a target cell wall and it does this by mutating fast enough to generate a lot of different strains. Most won’t work but by the ‘monkeys and typewriters’ rule a version will eventually work. This becomes this year’s “killer flu”. The H/N designation is just a cheap ‘n cheerful way to classify it. Its not particularly accurate, its like using the type and color of your car to find it in a crowded parking lot. (Its somewhat more convenient than walking the lot examining every VIN.)
The first rule of being an adult is this:
‘Assume that every public official lies for breakfast, lunch and dinner unless you have cast-iron evidence to prove that that is not the case.’
It’s really not possible in the 2020s to trust your life to anything a Government official says.
UK Institutions have been captured so comprehensively that they should all be treated as arms of global billionaire interests.
Billionaires want more lockdowns. They want more enforced vaccinations. They want chemtrails. They want more and more wealth transfer away from the bottom 90%.
So if you start from the assumption that what gets put out there is the opposite of the truth, you’ll probably get to the real truth quicker than if you start by believing what they say.
The real truth will often not be the exact opposite of what gets put out there, but it will almost never be what gets put out there.
Sad state of affairs, isn’t it?
What this tells me – is that the majority of folk are buying into the super-flu propaganda spun by the media – if they’re buying into this so easily – what else are they buying into.
You could equate the calling of it super-flu to the PTB testing to see how easily we still buy into the narrative – they can then adapt their next event, to match public opinion – controlling the extent of the Overton Window, is imperative to the PTB.
It is super..
Super Average
