Oy with the “Flurona” already!

Just please stop. Enough! Flu-fucking-rona???

When you read the story you’ll discover that the flurona victim wasn’t sick and didn’t know she had anything. She’s a “new mother”, which tells me she was there to give birth or some other reason related to having a baby. The article never elaborates.

The world’s first known case of one person infected with COVID-19 and the influenza virus at the same time was recorded in Israel.

The double infection—dubbed the “flurona”—was found in a new mother at Rabin Medical Center in Petach Tikva, Hamodia reported. Professor Arnon Vizhnitser, director of the hospital’s gynecology department, told the Jerusalem news outlet that the woman tested positive for both viruses as soon as she came to the medical center and that they double-checked to confirm.

Vizhnitser added that the woman had not been vaccinated against either virus, but she did not have any especially strong symptoms. She had been feeling well and was expected to be discharged on Thursday.

The odd thing in the story is that Israel is having an increase in flu cases… by people vaccinated with the flu vaccine. Since Israel is almost 100% vaccinated for COVID are the mRNA vaccines weakening immune systems leaving them vulnerable to the flu?

The Jerusalem Post reported earlier this month that flu cases in Israel are rising. Israel Center for Disease Control (ICDC) data showed 280 people had to be hospitalized, with another 20 checking into other health clinics as of December 11.

Most of these patients were infected with a flu strain that is included in the flu vaccine, but many doctors worried that the public is experiencing “vaccine fatigue” after having to take two to three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine this year, according to The Jerusalem Post.
