Answer:This question is almost impossible to answer. The premises to be used have to be carefully identified and data has to be available on:How many deaths occur among drug users (which requires that everybody 'fess up')How is the data authenticated and double dipping eliminated. How is false data from "groups with a message" eliminatedAre medical mistakes (by doctors) in or outWhat constitutes a drug - are caffeine, insulin in or outAre complications from dirty equipment, not the drugs, in or outHow are medical drug users included or excluded (e.g. cannabis for cancer patients)Are deaths of reformed drug users in or outHow many of these deaths are due strictly to the drugs (eliminate tobacco users, auto crashes, deaths from poor judgment, old age, poor health in general)Figure out how to identify deaths with drugs as a contributory but not prime factor and how to count them in or exclude themFigure out what to do with deaths of people who were killed by drug users either on purpose or accidentally and whether the drug was a cause or just incidentalAre deaths from alcohol and smoking (legal drugs) to be counted?Are deaths from medically assisted euthanasia to be counted?The implication is that good data for this type of statistic is unobtainable and existing results are not meaningful. The "Pro" forces can drive the number down to zero and the "Anti" forces can include every death that has ever occurred.
On average, influenza causes about 12,000 to 60,000 deaths and 140,000 to 810,000 hospitalizations in the United States each year. The numbers can vary depending on the severity of the flu season and the effectiveness of the vaccine.
