    That article is interesting and important but it does not show any causal links between lockdowns and the disappearance.

    It is, for example, also possible that it was merely displaced by SARS-CoV2.

      I appreciate your close and literal reading of that study. This was new news to me so I looked a bit further. STATnews and others seem to think it was the various lockdown protocols.

      B/Yamagata viruses haven’t been detected anywhere in the world since late March 2020, when Covid pandemic lockdowns and social distancing appeared to have halted circulation of this family of lineage of flu B.

      How would it be displaced by SARS-CoV2? Wouldn’t that require cross immunity?
