Just before Christmas, I wrote an article on the so-called “Super flu” that was breaking out across the UK, headlined simply:

Experts agree: There is no such thing as “Super Flu”

Even the most cursory of actual reading of mainstream sources made it quite clear: there is no such thing as “super flu”.

The current flu season is no more severe, widespread or deadly than usual, and there was no reason to suppose the incipient flu season would be anything other than entirely normal.

An assertion supported by the latest NHS graph:

This particular anti-climax doesn’t signal the end of the propaganda, naturally. Rather, they are course-correcting; praising the use of “digital tools” to “modernise the NHS” and cheer the number of flu shots distributed, and crediting a combination of the two with averting a potential disaster.

But as the “super flu” wanes in the UK, it waxes in the US.

Which is funny, because we were told that “super flu” was a totally unofficial term informally adopted by the NHS in internal memos…and yet it’s now being used all over the United States as well (here, here and here for example).

It’s almost as if pretty much all the Western (or even global) press receive their talking points from the same source. But we all knew that already.
