Influenza Deaths Follow Predictable Seasonal Rhythm Tied to Sunlight, Not Temperature, Analysis Finds

A MedCram expert commentary on YouTube argues influenza deaths follow a highly predictable seasonal rhythm, peaking 1 to 3 weeks after the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and about 6 months later in Australia. Latitude and UVB exposure correlate with influenza surges at an R-squared near 0.9993, while temperature and humidity explain almost nothing, a point reinforced by the 2009 H1N1 outbreak in the warmer months of April to July. The channel also cites an RCT in which N-acetylcysteine 600 mg twice daily reduced flu symptom rates to 25% versus 79% on placebo.
