Recorded sources
7 sources for · 0 against

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

Is it true that the 1918 flu pandemic killed more people than World War I?

Yes. Multiple sources, including CDC and NLM official pages and a peer-reviewed chapter, state that the 1918 flu pandemic killed more people than World War I; other items give pandemic tolls of 50-100 million without a WWI comparison.
