One important part of the bodys defeat of flu is fever. Aspirin lowers
or takes away fever.
I guess that _all_ of those who took aspirin did not die, and _all_ of
those who did not did not survive...

I do not hesitate to take an occasional aspirin, never against fever,
and never on a regular basis.
