3rd child dies of flu-related causes in B.C. as cases continue to rise

Just something to be aware of, if you are caring for kids right now:

A third child has died in British Columbia due to complications linked to influenza, cases of which continue to rise in the province.

The latest update from the B.C. Centre for Disease Control says it received three reports of influenza-related deaths in children under the age of 10 during the final week of 2023.

It says that means influenza was a contributing factor but not necessarily the primary cause of death in the children.

The centre previously said on Dec. 29 that two children had died in the preceding two weeks and early findings indicated secondary bacterial infections had contributed to their severe illness, which can be a complication of the flu.

CDC director recommends masking against tide of rising respiratory illnesses, including COVID | Salon https://www.salon.com/2023/12/07/director-recommends-masking-against-tide-of-rising-respiratory-illnesses-including/

Still, she recommends taking specific precautions for people to protect themselves, like getting the updated COVID-19 vaccine, this season’s influenza vaccine, and the RSV vaccine for those over the age of 60. Additional layers of protection, she said, include washing your hands, improving ventilation, and wearing a mask.

#fluoride has destroyed the minds of men

In the final months of his life, former CIA agent Joseph Spencer gathered his family and told them he had many secrets he needed to share with the world in the form of a deathbed confession.

At the time, he was dismissed by many as a conspiracy theorist peddling far-fetched theories about secret societies and their plans for humanity.

But in 2023 his deathbed confession is gaining attention because everything he predicted is happening as we speak, like clockwork – one chilling prediction after another.

The former CIA #agent #predicted some key things including the pedophilia and child trafficking epidemic, the #elite’s #obsession with #depopulation, #chemtrails, #alien disclosure, and what he described as a “ #modified #flu #virus” that would be #unleashed #on #humanity by the #psychopathic elite.

Does any of that #sound #familiar?

But his #predictions don’t stop there and it’s his predictions for the year #2024 that are #shocking those who are familiar with his work.

For many years I've participated in the Outbreaks Near Me program (formerly Flu Near Me), sponsored by Boston Children's Hospital. I think it's a good program. It allows you to self-report your health status at regular intervals. Many cases of Covid, including mine a year ago, and flu would otherwise go unreported. You might consider using it to help contribute more data and to see statistics in your area.

Mask up and get vaccinated because things are going to get worse in January: Etches

Ottawa's medical officer of health expects the respiratory virus situation in the city to get worse after the holidays. 

In her end of year briefing to the board of health, Dr. Vera Etches said Ottawa is seeing a high rate of respiratory viruses heading into a busy time for families to gather.

"It's not easy to hear this but we expect things to get worse after the holidays," Etches said. 

"Because so many people gather indoors, aren't wearing masks."

Only a few weeks into this flu season, 11 deaths have already been reported among children and teens across Canada

Some experts say providing timely information about the severity of a communicable disease like the flu can help people protect themselves and in this case, their kids.

“…that kind of information can help inform the public and can be useful to encourage people to seek and listen to public health advice,” [Dr. Rod Lim, head of pediatric emergency at the London, Ont., Health Sciences Centre] said.

B.C.'s revelation of its pediatric flu deaths provides a concrete example of how this can work: it triggered a surge in parents bringing their kids to get vaccinated against the flu.

Local child dies from flu amid severe influenza season

PHAC declared the start of an influenza epidemic last week

A child in eastern Ontario who tested positive for the flu has died, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit confirmed Sunday.

The health unit did not share any details about the child who died, including their age and whether they had any pre-existing conditions.

The flu vaccine is one of the most effective ways to reduce health risk, [Dr. Linna Li, the unit's acting medical officer of health] said, adding everyone over six months of age is strongly recommended to get the shot.

#BEWARE: At least some forms of the #flu #shot will be #MRNA from now on.
Look at the sleazy approach TIME takes with that article. They are calling the total failure MRNA shots a "remarkable success" when anyone who knows anything at all or can think at all knows full well they were an absolute failure AND catastrophe.
