He just thought God would give him a personal miracle, or that everyone would be happier in heaven.

Ignorant. Completely ignorant. Please read about the dangers of the most basic flus on remote people. It doesn’t matter what their immune systems deal with locally, it’s the introduction of strains they haven’t encountered.
