    The flu has killed at least 53 children so far, but the scientists who study it are short on funds http://mojo.ly/2Ez8dFc pic.twitter.com/PjVWMlrDxn

        CDC for various reasons, does not report precise numbers for overall flu death-but it estimates that from 2010-2016 “influenza has resulted in between 9.2 million & 60.8 million illnesses, between 140,000 & 710,000 hospitalizations & between 12,000 & 56,000 deaths/yr since 2010.

        funding for flu research is notoriously paltry. Even though the virus kills tens of thousands of Americans each year, neither Congress nor Big Pharma see it as a priority the Trump administration has proposed sweeping cuts to the NIH and the CDC

        US people are so used to blackmail that this kind of headline is okay now?

        The headline is truth. Blackmail? Where do you get that?

        It was one of a flurry of articles that suggested (not very subtly) that US children would die because the CDC didn't have enough funds (which could be blamed on Trump). The day after my comment, the CDC Director had to resign for investing in Tobacco and Big Pharma shares. Hmm.
