What is the flu? Influenza (the flu) is a serious contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. Millions of people in the United States get the flu each year. Most people are sick for about a week. Some people (especially young children, pregnant women, older people, and people with chronic health problems) can get very sick and may die from the flu. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

I wonder how much Big Pharma spends on lobbying each year, as well as media advertising.....?
Today I also heard a stat of 1000+ Americans killed daily from cigarette smoking illnesses. Imagine that!
