THE NARROW SCOPE OF FLU VACCINE USEFULNESS - valuable article

[Guest guest]

To make matters worse, many medications commonly taken by the elderly add to the problem. It is now a proven fact that antacids and statin drugs increase the risk for pneumonia in the elderly. This means that if an older person gets the flu, they are more at risk for getting s secondary serious infection which is often what actually kills them. Common drug use places them in harm’s way. This is one main reason why the purported benefits of statins to reduce mortality are readily offset by the number of people dying from infection while taking them.
