Why people wrongly think flu vaccines cause the flu

[JamesPhD]

UK has flu rate at 21 per 100k

USA has flu rate of 27 per 100k

So where are you getting your data?

But this is not representative of the typical flu level over the years. If it were an experiment, the 2017-2018 level you are quoting and matching with the US would be a far outlier for the UK. Is 27 per 100,000, the typical level?

15k flu deaths in the UK. UK population is roughly 20% of US so within a few percentage points of the same mortality rate.

This is not representative of the flu level in the UK over the years. If, fact in this very article you quote it says its at least double the level of what it should normally be. So is this the typical level in the US or was there an epidemic? Because the UK would then typically have have half or less of the flu related deaths than the US, relative to population size.

You're the one claiming it is not, can you back that up?

The OP referred to US deaths from a bad flu season, not a typical level
