So, let's just take a moment to Google just how effective the flu vaccines have been at preventing flu . . . .
It reduces the number of serious infections. When infected other conditions can occur at the same time and that is often what kills people. Some years it's not as successful as others. From memory something like a 2 to 1 variation. I'd post the info but there have been so many requests for info of the NOS that there is little chance of finding the one they usually have which shows this very clearly. Like all vaccines it doesn't prevent infection it aids recovery. My mother died of it. Too high a temperature for too long. The body can only take so much. She had been on parknson drugs for a long time and they were not really achieving anything any more. That wont have helped. Our immune system weakens over time anyway. That's why they vaccinate people for free with a live vaccine as well.
Any way you are intimating that the flu vaccine achieves nothing. Your wrong but as is often the case don't really understand why some especially older people die of it. Younger people can too due to pneumonia setting in. Many recover after a period in hospital. Some don't.
