Re: all diseases that’s not true either. For example the 1918 flu caused significant damage precisely because it affected young people quite significantly.

  But it affected older people worse, right? You're trying to deny a basic fact, old people are more at risk, as a group, just in general.

    > But it affected older people worse, right? No, incorrect again. Mortality for the 1918 flu peaked at age 28 and was lower in older age groups. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3734171/#!po=0.806452 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3734171/#!po=0.... I’m not denying a basic fact. I’m showing that your knowledge of the facts is not as complete as you seem to think.

      Then it's truly an aberration and not nearly the slam dunk you think it is. Because it was so odd, they specifically looked into it.

        It doesn’t need to be a “slam dunk”. It accomplished what I intended, which is show that you were making claims that were verifiably false.
