In this television interview, I explain what’s actually happening during this flu season and why so many people are getting sick at the same time.
Although some headlines have used terms like “super flu,” this season is not more severe on a per-case basis. Instead, the rapid spread is being driven by a mismatch between circulating influenza strains and the current vaccine, along with low population immunity. I also discuss why the flu vaccine still plays an important role in preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
This clip focuses on facts, context, and public-health clarity—without panic or exaggeration.
Topics covered:
– Why this flu season feels worse than usual
– Whether the flu vaccine still helps
– Why “super flu” is a misleading term
– How flu viruses mutate each year
0:00 Why flu cases are rising
