Anons interested in looking at how this year 's flu season deaths compare with previous might want to look at this site euromomo.eu
In my opinion, the data suggest something like a bad flu season. However, my personal research suggests flu deaths in the US include a lot of people who got flu shots and were sickened โtherefore requiring us to (ideally) separate flu deaths from "flu shot" deaths.
Anecdotally,,nursing homes seem to have spikes in deaths following "flu shot season". Flu shots increase susceptibility to other infections
There was some thought that a swine flu vaccine killed a mafia boss.
