" Evidence vaccinations caused the Spanish killer flu of 1918 including belief of Dr. Jerry Tennant that the widespread use of aspirin during the winter that followed the end of World War I could have been a key factor contributing to the earlier pandemic by suppressing the immune system and lowering body temperatures, allowing the flu virus to multiply. Tamiflu and Relenza also lower body temperatures, and therefore can also be expected to contribute to the spread of a pandemic. "

I have read the part about aspirin contributing to the 1918 pandemic about 2 to 3 years ago.

The reason that your body runs a fever, is to prevent the flu from spreading. Your body can survive higher temperatures, the flu virus cannot duplicate itself at the higher temps however. At least, that is my understanding.
