Why fears over a ‘tripledemic’ are surging
Cases of three major respiratory viruses — the flu, COVID-19 and RSV — are surging in the U.S., pushing the country toward a feared “tripledemic” during its first post-pandemic respiratory viral season.
Optimism was high this autumn as the U.S. headed into the viral season. The national arsenal against these viruses had vaccines against RSV for the first time, newly updated COVID-19 vaccines, and the flu “immunity debt” that plagued children in 2022 was history.
But now, confidence is waning. Accessing the vaccine for RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, has been a struggle for many, and enthusiasm for the new COVID-19 vaccines turned out to be abysmal. COVID-19 hospital admissions have been rising since November and wastewater detection indicates most sites — 69 percent — are seeing large increases in virus levels.
Flu activity across the country is currently “elevated and continues to increase in most parts of the country,” according to the latest update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). And vaccine uptake for the flu seems to be lagging, with the CDC saying nearly 8 million fewer people got the shot by mid-December compared to the same period in 2022.
Most do not care. COVID was just the flu for most people. The flu happens. RSV is a concern, but, because of they way The Powers That Be pushed COVID vaccines there is low trust in them. Most are not getting the COVID vaccine, because it doesn’t work. It does not stop people from getting COVID, which is the point of a vaccine. I get the flu vaccine every year (I got the RSV one at same time, giving it a shot, no pun intended) because it stops me from getting what they think will be the prevalent flu versions. COVID is no big deal for most people, just like the flu is no big deal. You feel bad for a time, then move on. You are more likely to spread the flu or a cold from touching stuff than COVID.
Only about a fifth of U.S. adults say they’ve received the newest COVID-19 shot, according to polling from KFF. Uptake for the previous bivalent shots was similarly low and many Americans likely haven’t been immunized since receiving their first doses in 2020 or 2021.
I suspect the actual numbers are lower. They should ask those some people around 6 months later if they contracted Wuhan Flu.
And RSV vaccine uptake among seniors appears rather lackluster, with CDC data suggesting only about 10 percent of nursing home residents had gotten immunized against the virus by mid-December.
“The numbers are not looking good,” said Marcus Plescia, chief medical officer for the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, of the three circulating viruses.
People do not trust it, because the Bat Soup Virus “vaccine” destroyed trust. I only got mine because I was getting the flu shot because I was at the doctors for what turned out to be a ear and chest infection, they had RSV, I said “why not?”
Masking has also become rare once again, though Plescia noted many hospital systems are bringing back mask requirements amid the rise in respiratory viruses. These hospital-enacted requirements may be more easily accepted by communities than those issued by the government, and Plescia expects to see more like them in the future.
Even though they know that the masks make little to no difference. How do we trust them? But, folks will still try and scaremonger, because scared people are easily controlled by government.

JUANA SUMMERS, HOST: Giant waves are crashing along the California coast for the second time in two weeks thanks to stormy weather and high sea levels due in part to human-caused climate change. Tides are lower this week, so the waves are smaller, but they’re still forecast to get as high as 20 feet through the weekend. That is thrilling for surfers, but, as member station KQED climate reporter Ezra David Romero explains, all these waves are also eroding the state’s beaches.
