Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that seasonal influenza kills between 12,000 and 52,000 people in the United States each year?

Unclear. Three sources give partial support: one reports recent annual US seasonal influenza death estimates of roughly 33,000-51,000, another notes over 30,000 Americans die annually of vaccine-preventable diseases mostly influenza, and a third confirms large global flu mortality. None states the exact 12,000-52,000 US range, so the evidence covers the claim only in part.
