Hmmmmm.....
What can we reasonably infer?
1.The flu vax was thought to be less effective, and it was.
The pharmacist told me that this year's vaccine protects against 2 more strains of flu than last year's vaccine. In any case, last year's worked for me.
2. Fewer people were vaccinated?
3.) The continued aging of the population left larger numbers of us vulnerable to aging immune systems and more severe symptoms, including death?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

80,000 flu deaths
The flu killed 80,000 people and hospitalized 900,000 more this past season, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This is extraordinarily high.
Normal ranges for yearly flu deaths, according to the CDC, are between 12,000 and 56,000 people, and between 250,000 and 700,000 hospitalized. [NBC News]
