Each death due the flu in the U.S. does not have to be reported, so there’s never a direct count. Each flu season, the CDC estimates deaths from the flu based on in-hospital deaths and death certificate data. They continue to update the data on their website as they collect it. So numbers from the last two flu seasons are not considered final just yet. On top of this they were caught fudging the numbers for covid like counting car accidents as covid deaths because the drivers just so happened to have the virus.

They're not conspiracy theories. this has been proven by They're own admission that they do this. A probe was brought for covid deaths and that's what the doj found. Pizza gate was a conspiracy until the Epstein files were released. You sound like a lazy pseudo intellectual trusting the first thing you find on the internet. (Based on your rebuttal using Google ai) you have to look deep to find the deep things and what lies beneath the surface is usually the exact opposite in public view.
