No skin in the game, but a cursory look at this article indicates it is bogus. Citing supposed death certifications is a really disingenuous tactic IMO:

>A review of death certificates found that RSV kills about 35 American adults a year

National Foundation for Infectious Diseases claims it kills 14,000[0]:

> RSV is second only to influenza as a cause of medically significant respiratory tract illnesses in adults7,8 and is estimated to cause 177,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 annual deaths in US adults age 65 years and older
