Spanish flu (1918-1919). The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the World War I, at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. Known as Spanish Flu or La Grippe the influenza of 1918-1920 was a global disaster.
How many of those 240 million people were actually killed by H1N1? Given the CDC's claimed total of deaths at 11,160, if you take 80% of that (because that's the percentage who refused to be vaccinated), you arrive at 8,928. So roughly 8,900 people died out of 240 million. That's a death rate among the un-vaccinated population of .0000372 With a death rate of .0000372, the swine flu killed roughly 1 out of every 26,700 people who were NOT vaccinated.
