Meanwhile at the #CBC, they're uncritically publishing "expert" dreck like "We're going to have more infections among the population this year, partly because our immune systems haven't been stimulated by this group of infectious agents over the last three or four years."

C'mon CBC. The last 3 or 4y have had historically high levels of RSV, influenza and other respiratory diseases in most Canadian areas.

And no mention of immune senescence after #SARS-CoV-2. That story broke years ago.

So, CBC, we go back, I care about you, but if you can't do the most basic fact checking it feels like you're trying to harm yourself and others, and I'm worried about you.

Another "expert": it's just mucus from previous infections, "All of that gunk has to be coughed out."

Oh and "Some people … get to the point of actually using inhalers for asthma," Abdulla said. "Not only do they have a cough, but they also have some wheezing and airway restriction."

Just like in years past, right, where if we didn't catch a cold for a couple of years, we might be coughing for months and suddenly need an asthma inhaler. Those good ol' days!
