More than 37 children across the country have died during a nasty flu outbreak that is already one of the worst on record, even though the season typically peaks in February.
But Texas televangelist Gloria Copeland thinks there's nothing to worry about. In fact, she says she doesn't believe there's such a thing as a flu season.
"We got a duck season, a deer season, but we don't have a flu season," she said in a video posted to Facebook last week. "And don't receive it when somebody threatens you with, 'Everyone's getting the flu!' "
Her remarks come as physicians insist people get their flu shots, as 85 percent of the children who have died were probably not vaccinated, CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald told Reuters last month.
