not the FLU that killed people but the resulting pneumonia
In April of 1918, a great aunt died from pneumonia ... in the fall, her 23 y/o son died from pneumonia ... and a day later, his 3 y/o daughter died from pneumonia.
My guess is they all had the Spanish Flu.

I think the vaccine people really screwed up.
From CNN ... "Flu vaccine is 48% effective this season, CDC says." I don't know the average effectiveness over the last 12-15 years, but you'd think they'd have refined the process to get much higher than 48%.

That was a BAD flu! The Alaskan Eskimos and Indian tribes in the Amazon also caught it and died.

I’ve read books and seen docmentaries about the ‘18 flu, and it scares the hell out me. Oh oh, next year is an ‘18.

lol, I think it is more like 100% effective in giving those who got the shot the flu a few months later. Everyone I know that got it, got it.
