False. My assertion was that Larry will be looking at this data based on him providing flu shots. I then posited that there is a connection between this page and Larry's flu shot charity -- not that one caused the other, but implied that within Google there was a discussion on the relationship between Larry's activity and this page.

In addition, the comment was intended to draw attention to Larry's assertion that flu shots can reduce flu severity in a region...and then provoke readers to investigate whether they find that to be the case. I came to no conclusions about the Bay Area's severity being particularly worse or better than other regions and assumed others may have commentary.
