Here you go:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/coldflu.htm#:~:text=Influenza%20(flu)%20and%20the%20common,%2C%20parainfluenza%2C%20and%20seasonal%20coronaviruses.

You're not stupid, just incorrectly informed. And smart enough to question that. That makes you waaaay smarter than the average person.

Neither. Influenza is the flu. The common cold is caused by a variety of viruses, iirc.
