I'm sure more than 20,000 die every year from flu complications, and it's contagious! Any trepidation’s when around the "influenza people"?

How To Lie With Statistics 101. In normal parlance, those 20,000 die of "old age."

I listed medical facts, ace.

For a handful of reasons the medical community has stopped short of recommending the flu vaccine for children. There was a study done by the University of Washington in Seattle that you might want to update yourself with. Maybe look into hospitalization for acute respiratory disease for children under 16 years and tell us how many perish each year. And as far as total number of people who are infected every 12 months in the states with influenza, probably triple the number who die.
