I don't need to google it, I actually know it because I studied it. I will repeat again - the majority of countries in the world do not have mass flu vaccination programmes, and they don't lose 10% of infected population every season due to flu. There have been no observations of 10% fatality in the times before flu vaccine became available, which is a tiny period of time compared to the history of medicine and even the history actuarial science (if discussing reliable stats).
10% fatality rate is typhoid fever territory, not flu.[/quote]
This is simply inaccurate, read the who data at least. I don’t know what you studied but your answer is both erroneous and confused. For some countries it is a low priority disease, for many many others, Europe, the USA, Canada etc it is a huge effort that is undertaken annually to vaccinate the vulnerable and elderly annually.
They spend this money for a reason. And rhe death rates are still high. Approx 30k people annually in the Uk even though we vaccinate.
The data shows, the who and many many scientific journals are published and available that shows If the countries who vaccinate did not, the death rate from influenza would be approx ten percent.
The vaccination program is global. Six billion people globally are vaccinated annually and the who says it should be ten billion. The countries who don’t, like some poorer African countries, don’t do so primarily due to cost.
Asia Pacific, the America’s, Europe, many parts of Africa. They all vaccinate against the flu. It’s an enormous global effort.
