The Flu Racket on Steroids: A 2023 Thread on the Flu Shot, Surveillance, and Operation COVID [Archival]
Jessica Hockett, PhD
Between early 2023 and mid-2024, I posted seven or so Twitter threads on my view of the relationship between flu shot and surveillance programs and the motivational and operational sides of the COVID-19 event. The thread reproduced below begins with Chicago data and includes all or portions of related threads I added through November 2023. I’ve made a few edits for clarity and style.
I initiated the thread to argue that the COVID racket is the flu racket on steroids:
PCR testing, test-based “flu-associated” hospitalizations and deaths, and shot-status tracking were already standard in flu surveillance.
Positive flu tests were disappeared temporarily in part because flu shot harms were getting harder to hide.
Successive flu shots, COVID shots, and boosters make pinning harms on any one injection using population-level data very difficult.
“SARS-CoV-2” and everything that came with it was a decoy that helped off-ramp egg-based shots and on-ramp mRNA, keeping “One Shot to Rule Them All” on track while the old flu shot and surveillance program could emerge relatively unscathed (which it essentially has as of 3 November 2026).
For background on why I came to believe human interference, rather than NPIs or viral interference, explains the temporary disappearance of positive flu tests, see my June 2023 article, “Flu, Interrupted.” Some of my work from this period is also credited through my contributing co-authorship of Chapter 11, “The Vanishing Flu,” in Fighting Goliath (Fenton & Neil).

Since people are talking about the “other” shot lately [i.e., the COVID shot] I want make three points that build on seasonal data from Chicago (graph below).
1. There is no bigger racket than the flu shot.
It changes every year.
Uptake is fairly high (in the U.S.).
Kids were roped in to the operation.
It’s widely acknowledged to not work well for the elderly, including by the CDC’s flu expert.
No one questions whether it has adverse effects, whether it causes or worsens respiratory illness, or can be deadly.
People equate “not working” with “they guessed the wrong strain this year”.
Sounds like a cash cow, right?
Imagine it wasn’t simply “not working” but making things worse.
Imagine you need a new platform because all your messing around with the shot since 2009 is getting out of hand but you can only hide it for so long.
Imagine people aren’t scared of flu but you’ve got those universal flu shot goals and all that investment in pandemic planning.
What would you do?
2. Many things that have been “done with” SARS-CoV-2/COVID were already being done with influenza, on a smaller scale. It wasn’t new on the scene in 2020.
That includes but is not limited to
PCR testing
Labeling ICU hospitalizations as flu associated based on a test result
Tracking vaccination status
Influenza-positive pneumonia deaths
The idea that these practices in the COVID Era are mistakes, brand new to the people asked to apply them, etc. is incorrect.
You don’t “suddenly” foist these things on state/local public health agencies, healthcare workers, etc. You till the soil and leverage preexisting systems and practices.
3. The COVID shot/boosters/combo shots are not the only injections in the 2020-2023 mix. There has been widespread use of sedatives (for “calming” care home residents and people in ambulances, for putting people on vents) AND the flu shot.
Where’s all cause mortality by flu shot status, I wonder?
Where’s all mortality by flu shot and COVID shot status?
In my opinion, starting the timeline in March 2020 or December 2020 is a mistake.
Limiting one’s view to Virus From Wuhan and COVID shots is also a mistake.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Same day, continued:
Data for the 2017-2018 season in Chicago (a “bad flu season”)
And I am sad to say my elderly parents got both the covid booster and flu shot this week and posted their bandaid pictures on Facebook. NOTHING could change this outcome. Those who won't listen at all, won't change. https://t.co/1HqQpYmDPA
How would this ever be disentangled in the COVID shot studies, or in any study of mortality?
It’s chaos.
(Which is probably the point)

This also proves my point:
I got dozens of flu shots until a certain more obvious racket was pushed so hard a couple of years ago that I realized how many times the shots had failed over the years. You weren't missing out on anything except a scam.
Historically, “Flu shot failed this year” or “I got the flu shot but got flu anyway” hasn’t really done much to assail the flu shot’s uptake appreciably.
Don’t people wonder how “bad” flu season would end up being if uptake were 5-10%?
I do.
To those who think the govt’s claims about the COVID shot are unique or something new under the sun, sorry to say, that is NOT the case.
Peter Doshi is undefeated on this topic. 🔥🔥🔥 BMJ, 2013 ⬇️
“Promotion of influenza vaccines is one of the most visible and aggressive public health policies today. Twenty years ago, in 1990, 32 million doses of influenza vaccine were available in the United States. Today around 135 million doses of influenza vaccine annually enter the US market, with vaccinations administered in drug stores, supermarkets—even some drive-throughs. This enormous growth has not been fueled by popular demand but instead by a public health campaign that delivers a straightforward, who-in-their-right-mind-could-possibly-disagree message: influenza is a serious disease, we are all at risk of complications from influenza, the flu shot is virtually risk free, and vaccination saves lives. Through this lens, the lack of influenza vaccine availability for all 315 million US citizens seems to border on the unethical. Yet across the country, mandatory influenza vaccination policies have cropped up, particularly in healthcare facilities,1 precisely because not everyone wants the vaccination, and compulsion appears the only way to achieve high vaccination rates. Closer examination of influenza vaccine policies shows that although proponents employ the rhetoric of science, the studies underlying the policy are often of low quality, and do not substantiate officials’ claims. The vaccine might be less beneficial and less safe than has been claimed, and the threat of influenza appears overstated.” https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f3037?ijkey=VG6zCuSnIXsFDaT&keytype=ref
Imagine how many adverse events from flu shots were unreported as such due to
a) Doctor/nurse/patient resistance to seeing them as such
b) patients thinking of adverse events involving flu-like illness as “getting flu anyway.”
The COVID racket is the flu racket on steroids.
Great example of how doctors are conditioned to think certain ways about drugs, shots, etc.:1
I am NOT saying the pathogen identified as SARS-CoV-2 is an influenza virus.
I AM saying the things we’ve seen with “COVID” were already being done with ILI/influenza.
The goal has long been “One Shot to Rule Them All.” (Them = so-called seasonal respiratory pathogens.)
I also not suggesting influenza and The Flu Shot/Flu Surveillance Regime were the WHY of the COVID operation.
I’m saying it laid the groundwork significant portions of the HOW.
Monto has since publicly backed down from his "personal information" not to get flu and Covid shots at the same time, but I always wondered why he said this in the first the first place if both shots were so safe.https://t.co/p7I5PJ1kHFpic.twitter.com/fx9hBegRdx
I also take issue w/ “all COVID deaths are pneumonia deaths.”
That’s an errant, if well-meaning, claim made by people who do not quite understand the basics of & limitations around coding deaths.
What people don’t realize is that the flu surveillance program WAS increasingly being used to attribute more pneumonia & influenza deaths to influenza — without compromising the flu shot reputation as a jab that maybe didn’t work great but wasn’t seen as harmful.2

The number of SARS-CoV-2 tests given in three months in NYC was more than DOUBLE the number of flu tests given the entire season.
What exactly were these tests picking up?
Tangent: King County, WA, Gates-Funded Seattle [Flu] Project Territory. (Gates as in Bill)
Weekly flu tests given vs Chicago, 2015-2022.
What do we make of this? I see earnest efforts of some kind. 🧐 Also, fewer flu tests given in both cities in the 2020-21 season.

THEORY ALERT: This is part of my still-in-progress theory arising from study of the Alleged Disappearance of Flu (The Flu-lusion). Documenting here for the record.
In summary, I believe flu/positive flu tests temporarily, intentionally disappeared because they needed to be.
Why?
I believe the flu shot & unethical experimentation therewith was creating mortality problems in the form of adverse effects & immune-suppression that could no longer be hidden in other causes of death.
In many ways, the things that are being said of the COVID shot had also been problems with the flu shot, for different reasons.
IMO, the govt and Pharma is more-than-okay with the focus on the COVID shot probs — because “emergency,” dontchaknow?
What they don’t want is for people to look back at the flu shot probs, or realize that the flu shot & the goal for a universal vax goals were a big impetus for Operation COVID.
What problems am I referring to?
Not mass death per se, but deaths in children and the elderly that were getting hard to hide in and get attributed to other natural causes.
These were a threat to
a) Investments into respective – but increasingly mashed-up — pandemic and bioterrorism/disaster planning efforts that needed to be “realized.” You need to you make good on your *A Pandemic is Coming* prognostications. TONS of political & financial fuel had been invested into that enterprise.
b) A Universal flu/respiratory shot (“One Shot to Rule Them All”), which complemented goals for various population surveillance desires. “Disease surveillance” is an effectively a form of citizen surveillance. Lots of “lessons learned” from those decades-long programs that are super useful for that health passport/Global Control/One Govt thing that certain Elites and Borderless Entities are so interested in.
“They” COULD NOT have people suspecting the flu shot is harmful, killing anyone, exacerbating ILI, etc.
The flu shot changes every year and folks take it on faith that getting a shot and still getting sick is just a wrong guess. Pretty awe$ome.
SARS and H1N1 2009 showed that it’s pretty easy to create the appearance of sudden spread through PCR testing and panic pushing. You can even get people to take a new shot that way.
The harder part, of course, is getting people to suddenly die on a scale that would convince them there’s a Global Pandemic Emergency.

Operation COVID was a resounding success.
✅ One Shot to Rule Them All still on track.
✅ “Pandemic Potential Pathogens”/“Global Health Threats” narratives still intact.
✅ Old flu shot/surveillance program emerges unscathed.
Watch out for narrative realignment?
“Old flu shot dangerous, so needs replacing with mRNA, proven to be so safe.”

Another post with my questions/thoughts on the Flu Shot & Operation COVID:
ANOTHER ANGLE ON FLU SHOT PROBS AS A CATALYST FOR OPERATION COVID-19.
Consider:
Is it possible The Powers That Be [had] been slowly losing control of the flu shot program since the 2009 🐖 component & their insistence on everyone (including kids) needing a flu shot?
Is it possible there was cumulative damage, with the snowball getting bigger and bigger, to the point where it could no longer be hidden or controlled?
Had a dead end been reached, with a need to change tactics?
They could have/should have been been semi-honest with the public & said something like, “For reasons beyond control, influenza immunization is no longer providing adequate protection/was immunosuppressive; therefore, manufacturing processes would have to be changed immediately.”
But then who would foot the bill on the injured? Who would have been blamed or held responsible?
The 2017-2018 season was a wake-up call, I’ll bet.
How much of Gottlieb’s ‘concession’ about One Shot #goals back then was an act is hard to say.
What I’m more sure of (though not certain) is that GoF, look-at-China is a ruse to distract from Flu Shot Probs.
My view is still that “SARS-CoV-2” is something that was already out there/in us and was used as a decoy to off-ramp the egg-based approach and on-ramp mRNA.
The U.S. isn’t the only country at the helm of the Global Flu Surveillance Racket, but we are a Key Player.
And let’s be honest: No one but no one does staged events & Hollywood-infused propaganda like America.
Those efforts officially launched in late 2019/early 2020 were MASTERFUL–as was the social media campaign, complete with dancing nurses, Healthcare Heroes reporting from the Frontlines, & contrived whistleblowers
Cruise ship “outbreaks”, screening at the airports, putting the first patients in E.T. pods…perfect for that “virus from afar” story.
So what was that REALLY all about?
In my opinion, there WAS a public health problem.
But not the one people have been led to believe in.
THAT is a big reason elected/appointed officials, private parties, borderless entities, and the likes of Robert Malone et al can keep telling spectacular noble lies with such aplomb.
The tweet I had linked here has been removed and is not archived. My direct reply to it was “@StillShakinIt Yes, except that there are indications [it] WAS being diagnosed in the same way in the years leading up to 2020. The expansion of the flu testing program, use of PCR tests, and attribution of COD [cause of death] toward flu vs pneumonia was occurring. Call it a proving ground…” [My original reply linked graphs from “Setting the Stage for Flu’s Disappearing Act”.↩︎
