Even this is hotly disputed. There is a rival theory that the only reason Spanish flu didn't affect the elderly as badly as the young is that the old were alive for a previous similar flu pandemic that rendered them partially immune.
Still plenty of arguments happening about the hows and whys of Spanish flu.
