(click for translation)
healthy people cannot get sick from the flu.
the flu occurs only in the months of june, july, and august.
flu deaths are highest in older people.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Healthy people cannot get sick from the flu" is false, as even healthy individuals can contract the flu.
• "The flu occurs only in the months of June, July, and August" is false; flu seasons typically occur in fall and winter (e.g., October - March in many regions).
• "Flu deaths are highest in older people" is true, as older adults (especially those 65+) have a higher risk of severe complications and death from the flu due to weakened immune systems and potential underlying health conditions.

Answer:

Flu deaths are highest in older people.
