The number of flu deaths the CDC tells us happen every year is a complete fabrication.
Illustrating the problem, Doshi observed that for the year 2001, the total number of reported pneumonia and influenza deaths was 62,034. Yet, of those, less than one half of one percent were attributed to influenza. Furthermore, of the mere 257 cases blamed on the flu, only 7% were laboratory confirmed. That’s only 18 cases of lab confirmed influenza out of 62,034 pneumonia and influenza deaths—or just 0.03%, according to the CDC’s own National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

Considering that you currently believe their fabrications, you should read the linked information; it does a great job of explaining how and why the CDC fabricates their flu statistics.
Hint: it is to sell more vaccines that people don't need.
