Also I wonder why no one took into consideration the reason the flu didn't spread was exactly because we vaccinated 40 million people ( nearly 20% of the population ). Isn't that what vaccinations were supposed to do, prevent people from getting sick?

Wrong, as the OP stated the vaccinations killed and disabled more people than the flu itself did. It cause so much damage the government had to shell out billions of dollars in settlements because the insurance company for the pharmaceutical company that developed it refused to pay because the vaccinations went untested.
So what do we have now? A government that will allow the pharmaceutical companies by law to produce a vaccination and allow it go straight to the public without going through the normal channels/trials such as FDA. Despite everyone saying it would take 6-8 months to develop such a vaccination a certain company has stated they already have a vaccination prepared for a flu which has never been seen before in history. By the public that is, in a lab?
