On this topic, I recently learned that the 1918 pandemic was made much worse by the generous use of newly invented aspirin. Even without the internet to spread rumours, people heard that Aspirin was good for treating the flu. If a little is good, a lot must be better. So they took them by the handful, and died from Aspirin overdose instead.
Everything old is new again.
