American Lung Association - Trends in Pneumonia and Influenza Morbidity and Mortality
I know people die of pneumonia. Flu too is a respiratory disease and is often a precursor to a secondary bacterial infection. HIV is also a primary viral disease that leads to secondary bacterial infections. The lung association is not a public health monitoring network like the CDC, but I suspect they use data collected by the CDC.
Are you also opposed to vaccination for avian flu, swine flu, and canine flu?
