Israeli company Steakholder Foods is rolling out artificial steaks, chicken, and fish under its PERFECTA brand—with NO mention of 3D-printing on the packaging.
3D-printed fake meat and fish have officially hit American grocery stores. Israeli food-technology company Steakholder Foods announced the U.S. retail launch of its PERFECTA brand, introducing 3D-printed meat and seafood to grocery stores across the Northeastern United States.
The packaging DOES NOT disclose that the company’s products are manufactured using 3D-printing technology. Instead, the products are marketed as “premium plant-based meat.”
Steakholder Foods is rolling out five products under its PERFECTA brand:
“Marbled Steak”
“Filet Mignon”
“Chicken Breast”
“Salmon Patties”
“White Fish Patties”
Its plant-based steak formulation contains soy flour, rapeseed oil, modified starch, methylcellulose, xanthan gum, locust bean gum, and artificial meat coloring designed to imitate the appearance of beef.
A study by University of Maryland researcher Shibley Telhami points to a major shift in US public opinion, with sympathy for Palestinians surpassing support for “Israel” and growing numbers of Americans viewing the occupation as responsible for genocide.
Drawing on Gallup data, Telhami noted that sympathy for “Israel” among the US public has fallen from around 50% to 36%, while sympathy for Palestinians has risen to 41%.
Among Democrats, support for “Israel” has plunged from more than 50% in 2001 to just 17% today, while sympathy for Palestinians has climbed to 65%, according to the researcher.
Telhami’s Critical Issues Poll at the University of Maryland also found that more than 60% of respondents believe US military and diplomatic support enables “Israel” to carry out its actions.
Generational shift extends across political lines
Citing data from the Pew Research Center, Telhami pointed to a narrowing generational gap among Democrats in negative views of “Israel.” The figures showed that 71% of younger Democrats and 66% of older Democrats held negative views of the occupation.
One of the most significant changes, however, has emerged among young Republicans under the age of 35. According to the cited polling, the share of young Republicans expressing negative views of “Israel” rose from 35% to 57%.
Only 22% of young Republicans agreed that “Israel’s” actions in Gaza were “justified as self-defense,” compared with 52% of their older counterparts.
Telhami highlighted findings indicating that 80% of academics since October 7, 2023, and 42% of the general US public feel they must exercise self-censorship or caution when discussing the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, fearing accusations linked to their criticism.
The findings point to growing public criticism of “Israel” and US support for it, alongside continued concerns about the social and professional consequences of expressing such views.
The trips promise US citizens an audience with senior Israeli officials and lectures from extremist pro-Israel figures
A Zeteoinvestigation published on 17 October has revealed that the family of US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is selling paid tours to Israel for US citizens that offer access to senior Israeli officials.
According to the company’s advertising and filings, the travel business, now run by Huckabee’s son and formerly marketed as “The Israel Experience with Governor Mike Huckabee,” has taken hundreds of travelers to Israel over the years and continues to bring US citizens to hear Israeli officials speak.
In 2015, the Washington Postreported that the trips cost $5,250 a head, covering five-star hotels, flights out of New York, and meals.
Guests were granted meetings with top Israeli leaders and evening lectures by extremist pro-Israel figures, while Palestinians and their towns were entirely omitted from the itinerary.
Huckabee has repeatedly denied Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, its occupation of Palestine, and its apartheid regime, touting that there is “no such thing as a Palestinian.”
On 8 October, the New York Times revealed that Huckabee’s senior aide, David Milstein, repeatedly buried or altered diplomatic reports to Washington that documented Israeli crimes in the occupied West Bank and Gaza to either downplay the atrocities or erase them outright.
Among the suppressed reports was a March review of the killings of nine Palestinian US citizens by Israeli settlers and soldiers, which found that no one had been charged.
Milstein also turned staff warnings about mass casualties at the US-Israeli-run Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)—where at least 1,400 Palestinian aid seekers were killed—into a story portraying the operation as a success.
He also blocked reports that relayed warnings from Israeli commanders saying that settler attacks could ignite a new uprising, and sent a cable under his own name crediting Netanyahu with reining in the violence instead.
Officials said he subjected colleagues to loyalty tests, demanding to know whether they were “pro-Israel” or “pro-Hamas” and leaving staff afraid to speak out.
On 17 October, Russia welcomed US President Donald Trump’s decision to waive new sanctions targeting Moscow, calling it a “historic move” that would benefit “global stability.”
“Suspension of the Graham Act by the administration of President [Donald] Trump is an important and truly historic moment,” a Kremlin official said on Saturday.
“Instead of sanctions and confrontation, we have dialogue, mutually beneficial cooperation, and shared responsibility for global stability,” the official added.
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order suspending the application of sanctions provisions under the so-called “Lindsey Graham Act,” a law passed in September to target Russia’s energy and defense sectors, including its tanker network used to circumvent US restrictions on oil and gas sales.
The late Lindsey Graham, a longtime advocate of war with Russia, pushed for the legislation before passing away in July after a trip to Ukraine.
The law also included provisions targeting countries that continue to buy Russian oil and gas.
Trump is under pressure to reduce energy and commercial shipping costs resulting from the US-Israel war on Iran and the Islamic Republic’s efforts to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump’s Republican Party is widely expected to lose ground to the Democratic Party in next month’s midterm elections due to widespread resentment among US voters over higher gasoline and diesel prices.
The Kremlin said that if the Graham Act had gone into effect, it could have completely halted economic cooperation between Russia and the US and caused serious damage to the US economy and global markets.
Trump’s decision comes as Ukraine and Russia trade attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure. He was reportedly angered that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries despite repeated US requests to stop.
Zelensky criticized Trump’s decision on Saturday.
“A US sanctions blackout, easing pressure on the aggressor, financial rewards for Putin, all of this only encourages him to keep attacking,” Zelensky said on social media.
Washington is reportedly also weighing a move to lift sanctions on the “shadow fleet” of Russian and Iranian tankers to help bring down soaring diesel prices before the midterm elections.
Although US energy companies have benefited from higher prices after Hormuz closed, costly tankers and long-distance shipping of oil and natural gas to new customers in Europe and Asia have cut profits.
The Financial Times (FT) reported on Thursday that the US could allow the sale of sanctioned Russian and Iranian vessels to non-sanctioned operators, allowing them to operate without restrictions.
Reuters reported on Wednesday that the US could allow sanctioned vessels to carry crude or petroleum products not sanctioned by the US.
In 2018, after the US unilaterally withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement and imposed “maximum pressure” sanctions, Iran established a so-called “shadow fleet” of tankers to transport oil in defiance of the sanctions regime.
Energy Aspects, a research and consulting firm specializing in oil, natural gas, and global energy markets, estimates that around 15 percent of the world’s tanker fleet is under US sanctions.
As a major chip index heads for its eighth straight session of declines, it’s becoming harder to distinguish investor concern from sheer fatigue.
Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, called the current market action evidence of an “AI burnout trade.” In other words, investors are getting sick of projecting payoffs from investments in technology with uncertain, far-off returns — and they’re also tired of debating what that means in the here and now.
“Should an investor in the S&P 500 care about the next 36 months or the next decade? We all know the answer is the latter, but fretting over the former can be (or, frankly, is) exhausting,” Colas wrote.
Investors are also finding it challenging to “cut through the noise surrounding artificial intelligence — from the grand promises of transformative growth and the massive costs of data-center build-outs, to concerns about AI displacing jobs and the steady stream of new chip or model announcements that arrive almost daily,” said Luke Rahbari, the co-portfolio manager of the Rational Equity Armor Fund.
He agreed that “many have grown weary of trying to look years ahead at the ultimate payoff.”
For the last several years, the market has rewarded companies when they announce a new, larger model, a larger data center, or a bigger AI-infrastructure commitment. But that’s changing as investors are demanding clearer proof that capital spending can translate into sustainable revenue growth, StoneX analyst Yi Fu Lee told MarketWatch.
Lately, there has been consternation around reports of financial metrics from leading private AI companies OpenAI and Anthropic. The market can show “little mercy when expectations and reported figures diverge, and AI-related stocks quickly began to show cracks,” Lee added.
Peter Berezin, the chief economist at BCA Research, told MarketWatch that there’s also concern that spending on AI tokens — the units of data that AI models process, and that providers bill for — is slowing. That could pose challenges for AI companies. According to his estimates, AI companies will need $10 trillion in annual sales to generate a “decent rate of return” on their spending on AI data centers. which has become the poster child for AI borrowing needs, are down to their lowest point since July.

BlackRock ended the third quarter with $15.49 trillion in assets under management, a record, after $205 billion of net client inflows, according to its earnings release filed with the SEC on Oct. 14.
GAAP earnings came to $10.57 a share, and as-adjusted earnings to $15.93. Revenue rose 19 percent to $7.75 billion, and the company said it has raised $68 billion in private markets over the last twelve months. Its AI Infrastructure Partnership made its first deployment during the quarter.
Chairman and CEO Larry Fink said clients “entrusted us with $205 billion of net inflows this quarter, and $869 billion over the last year.” He added: “We’re entering our seasonally strongest fourth quarter with accelerating momentum.”
As the Epoch Times notes further, the company drew almost $135 billion in net new flows into its flagship iShares exchange-traded funds, also known as ETFs.
It also repurchased $550 million of its shares during the quarter, delivering stronger value to current shareholders.
“Market fundamentals are strong and well supported, with higher margins and earnings momentum catalyzed by new technology,” CEO Larry Fink said in a statement.
Looking ahead to the final three months of 2026, Fink noted that BlackRock has plenty of momentum and a broad pipeline of opportunities across multiple business segments, including private markets and retirement funds.
BlackRock popped as much as 5 percent following the earnings data but erased its gains as the midweek session progressed.
Private Credit Improvements
The private credit industry has been under tremendous strain this year, reflecting the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” and increasing concerns surrounding lenders’ exposure to software companies.
This was observed in the wave of redemption requests.
But BlackRock’s push into private credit markets does not seem affected by the sector’s widespread pressures.
In a call with analysts, CFO Martin Small suggested that investment demand for private credit has been solid.
Net inflows into its private credit funds rose by $5 billion from the previous quarter, according to the earnings report.
“We think there’s a much larger opportunity that’s more durable in delivering private high-grade private credit in for debt across our platform and just deepening our client relationships over time,” Small said.
Additionally, BlackRock’s client redemptions, which have been in focus for the broader industry since the start of 2026, have eased modestly.
Redemption requests for its Corporate Lending Fund fell to about 11.5 percent of shares in the latest quarter, down from 13.3 percent in the second quarter.
But while private credit stress appears to be dissipating, Moody’s warned the situation could be worse than reported default rates suggest.
“Asset quality risks are mounting among weaker middle market borrowers in the US private credit market as higher-for-longer interest rates, refinancing challenges, redemption pressures and persistent concerns over transparency weigh on performance,” the firm said in an Oct. 14 report.
Earnings Season So Far
Third-quarter earnings season started on Oct. 13, beginning with some of the big banks.
Tuesday’s results were mixed but not concerning, says Tom Essaye, president and co-founder of The Sevens Research Report.
“The results of those earnings were mixed, but none of the reports provided the type of surprise that would have impacted the broader market and the S&P 500,” Essaye said in a note emailed to The Epoch Times.
Oct. 14 was better, with Morgan Stanley, Progressive, and State Street beating Wall Street expectations on earnings per share.
Blackstone will be the next major investment manager to release its performance from the past three months.
The consensus estimate points to $1.46 in earnings per share and $3.65 billion in revenue, according to Trading Economics.
US President Donald Trump has accused Ukraine of selling American-supplied missiles on the black market, questioning the whereabouts of billions of dollars in military and financial aid provided to Kiev under his predecessor, Joe Biden.
In an interview with Newsmax aired on Thursday, Trump lashed out at Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, accusing him of exploiting Washington’s generosity, while refusing to negotiate an end to the conflict with Russia.
“Where is the cash that we gave to Ukraine? Where is all the equipment? Biden was giving them missiles, and they were being sold on the open market,” Trump said.
Russian officials have repeatedly warned that unchecked deliveries of Western weapons to Ukraine and rampant corruption in the country have resulted in a large amount of these arms ending up in the hands of organized criminal groups and extremist organizations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, including Mexican drug cartels.
An RT investigation in 2022 found a variety of Western-supplied weapons such as anti-tank rockets, drones, and small arms for sale on the “dark web.”
According to a report by Small Arms Survey, the Ukrainian authorities intercepted a vehicle carrying 18 US-made Javelin anti-tank missiles and other hardware in Kiev-controlled part of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic in 2024. The driver lacked the proper paperwork to transport the weapons, which suggested that they could have been intended for sale, it said.
Ukraine has also been rocked by numerous corruption scandals in military procurement involving officials close to Zelensky. In August, the country’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) reported losses of 254 million hryvnias ($6 million) as a result of an alleged embezzlement scheme which revolved around purchases of drones for Ukrainian forces.
Last year, investigators uncovered a $100 million corruption scheme in the Ukrainian energy sector allegedly run by a former close associate of Zelensky, businessman Timur Mindich, who fled the country before he could be detained. Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has been questioned as a witness in the case.
Zelensky has faced criticism from the West and street protests in 2025 over his attempts to put Ukraine’s independent anti-corruption watchdogs under the control of the government. The pressure eventually forced him to reverse course.
Trump has repeatedly criticized Biden for providing Ukraine with weapons and funds without preconditions and proper oversight. During Thursday’s interview, the US president compared Zelensky to P.T. Barnum, a 19th-century American showman and traveling circus-owner, known for publicity stunts and sensational attractions.
“Zelensky is not a good guy for us to deal with. Biden gave him billions and billions of dollars,” he said.
Trump also questioned the Ukrainian leader’s willingness to reach a diplomatic resolution to the conflict with Moscow.
“He says he wants to settle but he [doesn’t],” he said, adding: “No, I’m not a big fan of Zelensky. They’ve destroyed that country.”
The remarks followed Zelensky’s criticism of Trump’s decision last week to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports in order to contain surging energy prices ahead of the November 3 US midterm elections. The Ukrainian leader said he felt betrayed by Washington’s move and defied Trump’s demand to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries.
The US president, meanwhile, made clear that Washington would prioritize rebuilding its own depleted weapons inventories rather than continuing to supply Kiev.
“Once we are really stocked, we will start letting our allies buy them [the arms] from us,” he said.

The Cradle
OCT 16, 2026
Trump has been angered by Zelensky’s insistence on striking Russian oil refineries in spite of Washington’s requests to stop
The order to throttle the Starlink satellite system used by the Ukrainian military to communicate and conduct drone operations against Russia came directly from the White House, Reuters reported on 15 October.
According to two US officials and a western official familiar with the matter, leaders at the Pentagon received a message that the Ukrainian military’s use of Starshield, the military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink, needed to be slowed.
“The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, did not specify who in the White House made the decision or who was responsible for implementing the order,” Reuters wrote.
Ukrainian officials say that military-grade Starlink receptors stopped working this week when mounted on drones moving at speeds above 160 kilometers per hour.
Ukrainian drones rely on Starlink receptors for their onboard guidance systems.
The slowing of the Starshield service hindered Ukraine’s ability to carry out drone strikes against Russian forces and to shoot down incoming Russian Shahed drones.
A senior US official denied the claim, saying that “No such request was ever made by the president.”
Musk’s SpaceX developed Starshield for the US Department of War and other national security customers.
He said on X on Wednesday that because Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government, any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military or the president.
Reuters noted that relations between Kiev and Washington have worsened since a meeting in Miami earlier this month chaired by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Kushner reportedly “struck a tough tone with Ukraine” during the meeting in response to Kiev’s repeated strikes on Russia’s oil refineries.
Ukrainian military officials were told by their US counterparts that “if you will not stop [the energy strikes], we will block intelligence,” Zelensky told the Financial Times (FT) in an interview this week.
Ukraine’s targeting of Russian refineries has angered Trump, who says the attacks are driving up world energy prices, particularly for diesel fuel.
High diesel and gas prices threaten support for Trump’s Republican Party among US voters ahead of next month’s midterm elections.
Zelensky says Trump’s war on Iran and Tehran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz in response are responsible for the energy price spikes.
Roughly 20 percent of world oil and gas exports exited the Persian Gulf through the strait before the war began in February.
On Friday last week, Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to purchase Russian diesel fuel for the US and international market, causing Zelensky to criticize the US president.
The following day, Trump called for Zelensky to be replaced, saying he had repeatedly refused offers to end the war with Russia.
“I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal, because he could have made many deals that, for some reason, he never does,” Trump said.
Israeli soldiers at the scene did nothing to restrain the attackers, instead firing tear gas at olive farmers
Masked Israeli settlers violently assaulted and hospitalized Washington Post photojournalist and US citizen Heidi Levine while attacking Palestinian olive harvesters near Abu Falah in the occupied West Bank on 16 October, hurling stones at farmers and setting olive trees ablaze as they rampaged.
“I was attacked, pushed to the ground. Luckily I had my flak jacket and helmet, otherwise I probably wouldn’t even be here, because they just kept kicking me and kicking me,” Levine said from her hospital bed, where she is in stable condition.
Israeli soldiers made no attempt to rein in the attackers, witnesses said, instead pulling up alongside the still-masked settlers and firing tear gas at the Palestinian villagers.
“The army did nothing to stop the settlers,” said independent Israeli journalist Oren Ziv, who witnessed the attack.
One Reuters photographer at the scene saw at least one armed settler open fire, with Ziv reporting that one Palestinian was wounded by gunfire.
Levine was wearing a vest clearly marked as press when the settlers beat her to the ground with sticks and robbed her of her cameras and phone.
She was only pulled to safety after young men from the village drove the attackers back with stones.
Around 80 settlers, several hauling gas canisters, descended in a coordinated raid from a hilltop onto the groves northeast of Ramallah where Abu Falah families were harvesting olives, according to Reuters witnesses.
Jasper Nathaniel, a US journalist at the scene, said the assault was larger and more organized than usual, with dozens of men seen preparing beforehand.
The settlers set the groves alight in several places and slung stones at the pickers, while young men from the village threw stones back to defend themselves.
“The settlers want to attack us and force us from our homes,” said Moutaz Abdelhadi, a 42-year-old farmer.
The assault near Abu Falah fits a wider, state-backed campaign to entrench Israeli control over the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces and settlers carried out 11,074 attacks in the first half of 2026 alone, including 3,488 attacks involving assaults on villages, arson, shootings, land seizures and the establishment of outposts.
UN figures show nearly 46,000 Palestinians forcibly displaced between 2023 and the end of 2025, and a UN inquiry found Israeli authorities facilitated settler violence through financial, military, and legal support, in a campaign of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing to annex the West Bank.
The corporate media recently published some fear-based articles reporting that executives at the top AI companies were preparing for an AI catastrophic event that would shut down access to financial services, internet connectivity, and possibly even electricity and water as well.
The “scoop” came from Axios:
Scoop: AI companies plot “the day after”
Excerpts:
Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.
The first example of significant real-world harm caused by unsafe AI would turn an already wary public further against the technology and its leaders, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, as well as President Trump for his reluctance to regulate it.
While scenario planning is common within many companies and national security settings — the Pentagon has been running war games for decades — the difference is that many top AI researchers and executives believe a major incident is inevitable.
However, the real danger from AI is a complete financial collapse of the economy because too much money is being spent on AI based on a religious-like belief, and not actual facts, creating what many now believe is the largest asset bubble in the financial markets in the history of the United States.
Now, there are reports that there are plans in place to use the fear of AI along with another already-planned fake pandemic, the “bird flu” pandemic that they have been trying to scare people into believing all the way back to George Bush’s presidency in the early 2000s.
Dr. Robert Redfield, who was Trump’s director of the CDC during his first term heading into COVID, has been going public for the past several years now predicting that a “bird flu” pandemic was coming, which he predicted would be worse than COVID.
Apparently, there are now plans in place to resurrect the “bird flu” fake pandemic by combining it with fake AI capabilities, by falsely telling people that AI has now reached “Super Intelligence” and can now produce “deadly viruses”.
Christian Westbrook of “UNSHADOWED” (formerly known as the “Ice Age Farmer”) has just published an article about Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, the White House Homeland Security Adviser from 2021 to 2025, who has published some recent reports about how AI could produce “new bioweapons” and what the government response should be in such a scenario, which could potentially be even worse than the response to COVID.
The AI Bird-Flu Scenario They Just Published
Excerpts:
A month ago, Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall laid out a scenario in Foreign Affairs. She is not a science fiction author. She was White House Homeland Security Adviser from 2021 to 2025. She coordinated the response to the 2024 H5N1 (Bird Flu) outbreak in US dairy.
She wrote:
In the foreseeable future, a terrorist group with minimal skills could access a jailbroken AI model… The group could use the model to design a new strain of H5N1 avian influenza that is more lethal and more easily spread from animals to humans than existing strains.
Connecting remotely to one of the new generation of fully equipped, contract-for-service “cloud” labs, it could anonymously arrange for the virus to be built and tested and then sent to a biomanufacturing facility to be produced at scale.
From there, the group could stealthily disperse the new strain through air-handling systems at major livestock farms across the United States.
Before long, the American poultry, beef, and dairy industries would suffer massive losses. When the virus inevitably jumped to the human population, it would cause severe illness and could result in hundreds of thousands or even millions of deaths.
The response from U.S. public and private institutions—lacking both an integrated strategy and adequate tools—would be too slow, too uncoordinated, too underresourced, and too overwhelmed to stop the spread and mitigate the consequences. And soon, the virus would also cross borders, triggering food insecurity, widespread sickness, and mass casualties around the world.
That same day, the Belfer report she co-authored, Deterrence by Resilience, made policy recommendations responding to this, including restricting unlicensed models (AI) and unscreened print shops (biomanufacturing).
He also published a video about these new reports:
There has never been a “Bioweapon” that caused Mass Deaths – Almost ALL Modern-day “Pandemics” are Caused by Vaccines
[…]
The Spanish Flu that started in 1918 is used as the “gold standard” of natural pathogens gone rogue that everyone likes to refer to, and President Trump used it as an example repeatedly when dealing with COVID in his first term.
However, we have previously published the evidence that the “Spanish Flu” was probably due to a mass roll-out of a new vaccine created by the military. See:
COVID followed a very similar script, except it was on a larger scale, and it needed cooperation with other countries in order to create the fear of the virus first, so that the solution could be provided: new experimental mRNA vaccines.
The U.S. Government and the U.S. Military had been trying to get mRNA vaccines into the market for almost a decade for another fake virus, the HIV virus.
The very same people who were trying to develop mRNA vaccines for the HIV “virus” became part of Donald Trump’s military Operation Warp Speed task force for COVID, such as Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Robert Redfield, Deborah Birx, etc.
The COVID scam woke up a lot of people, however, especially after thousands of medical doctors who were not part of the conspiracy went public explaining that the COVID “virus” was actually not very dangerous at all, and could be stopped in its tracks with existing medicines, such as Ivermectin.
To keep the COVID scam going and scare people enough to agree to take new experimental vaccines and drugs, the CDC pulled off one of its greatest injustices in the history of the corrupt agency, by changing the total death numbers for 2020 which were on pace to be very similar to 2019 in spite of the fact that the media was reporting huge increases of deaths due to “the virus.”
They basically pre-entered the expected deaths for 2021 after the mass roll-out of Trump’s new COVID vaccines, and attributed all those vaccine deaths to “the virus.”
In addition to fudging the numbers of actual people dying from COVID in 2020, the CDC also had to stop reporting “thousands of deaths” each year due to the flu “virus”, which during COVID all but disappeared.
Believe it or not, the narrative that was put out by the CDC and the U.S. Government to try and explain what happened to all these flu deaths was that the COVID protocols in place, such as masks, social distancing, etc., worked to stop the flu!
