"The flu destroyed her organs. She didn't even know it."
Wait, what kind of flu was this, Ebola Zaire? Since when does influenza destroy organs?
Taking the flu seriously is definitely advisable, but something sounds amiss here.

When a story like this is pushed, and relevant details are excluded, one might sense an agenda. Maybe there are reasons to exclude details, regarding medical privacy, but without them, the article is reduced to "flu dangerous, can kill."
For example, does one flu shot inoculate for all flus? If not, then which flu shots were available, and would any of those flu shots have helped at all in this situation? How can we draw accurate conclusions without complete information?
the one that raised a red flag, that it destroyed the organs, i never heard of a flu doing that. I was suspecting either she never had the flu, or she rarely had it to make the flu more dangerous for her, the mom even said she was never vaccinated for it. she could also had a comorbid condition, like immunosuppression, which the flu can kill her, or she had a secondary bacterial infection. there is no flu shot that will vaccinate for all flus, otherwise we dont need to keep making new ones every year, and there is many strains, that the vaccines might not work against. Flu viruses evolves way to fast to be a perfect vaccine, similar to how there is no HIV vaccine, it mutates to rapidly.
