The way you've phrased this is so misleading.
>Flu caused more deaths than Americans in WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War combined
Americans didn't hellza suffer that much in WWI or WWII. America lost 0.3% of its population in WWII. For comparison, Nazi Germany lost 9%, the USSR 14%, and Poland 20%. Likewise, the brunt of the casualties in the Korean and Vietnam War were in the countries in question. America only had a little under 60,000 deaths in the Vietnam War, versus somewhere in the range of 1,500,000 military and civilian dead for the Vietnamese.
>More deaths than Hitler (insert Holocaust)
But Hitler caused far more deaths than the Holocaust. WWII caused around 70,000,000 deaths. The Soviet Union alone had 27,000,000 military and civilian casualties, and Germany 7,000,000. The Eastern Front and Holocaust together is roughly as deadly as the Spanish Flu.
