Flu killed 80,000 people in the US in 2018. If that many people were killed by flying on certain planes would you want to be told about it? Or would that be "fear mongering"?


I had the flu twice (as a healthy adult) and I NEVER want to go through that again. Haven't had it since I started getting flu shots every year.

Please don't turn this into a VAX, ANTI-VAX thread. This thread is just about what is currently happening in the US and world

DOs are mainstream physicians.

Which parts of the OP do you consider fear mongering?
