Original Note:
While there were indeed less flu deaths throughout the pandemic, this was largely the result of the quarantine measures intended to tackle COVID-19. The claim that the flu "disappeared" during these years is nonsensical. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/2021-2022.htm https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html https://www.statista.com/statistics/434445/death-rate-for-influenza-and-pneumonia-in-canada/
