The theory is that most flu-like symptoms are being coded as COVID infections. If masks and social distancing were responsible for the disappearance of the flu then it would still be prevalent where people haven't been following the guidelines. But it's not. It's nowhere to be found at all.

Scott knows the answer. He’s a master at influencing Mormons and is using the Socratic method to get people to think.

Influencing *normies? Honest question because it's possible there's something I don't know about the guy

Maybe he does it so normies will read the responses. And do a little thinking? Maybe he’s not a big dummy.

That's easy Scotty, they are lying about the flu numbers in order to blame it on covid to increase the sickness and hospitalization rates. Scott of all people should know this...

Scott? Are you suddenly so trusting of the CDC and their “official numbers”? Have you had a stroke? Do you not find it the least bit odd that flu cases hadn’t just dropped precipitously, but dropped to literally, practically zero? If all this forced mask wearing “may have” had a positive but not complete effect on Chinavirus cases, why would the flu not experience the same “greatly reduced - but not eliminated” results?

If he thinks masks work, he can come to my shop and paint a car with just his shitty cloth mask. VOC and pigment particles in paint that get suspended in the air are bigger than covid and covid droplets. Come paint in your mask if you believe in it so much, just sign a release first.

Uh, flu deaths are being classified as covid-19 to inflate infection rates for political purposes. That took not even a second of critical thought.

What is a socratic question, and why are they useful for changing opinions?

Scott likes tweeting out these mental exercises. He’ll ask the question, and then talk about it on his next Periscope stream. Sometimes he does it to break through our illusions, and sometimes it’s to break through the left’s.

Usually it’s just to remind folks that it’s not what you think you know, it’s what you can prove.

To answer his question, we suspect it’s because they’re diagnosing all these flu cases as COVID, but we also have to admit that we don’t have proof of that.

What we have are zero flu cases, and DNA test amplification levels, to detect COVID, that were far, far higher than recommended. It’s the perfect scenario for false positives, and even though we know that’s likely what’s happening, we don’t have a smoking gun that proves it.

Yeah, they bolstered the number of covid cases with the flu. If masks worked, we wouldn’t be more than a year into “slowing the spread” Everyone I see in my area wears a mask, since this started I can’t rightly recall seeing anyone not wearing one where it was needed(stores or whatever), yet we still have plenty of cases. HMMMMM.
