First you say "we should compare COVID to the flu" and now you say "look there's no way you can compare COVID to the flu". And then top it all off with the classic, "well you just can't trust any science in the last two years".
You clearly are not arguing in good faith or of sound mind.
- spookthesunset 4y agoPeople in my area completely lost their minds. Like it was as if somebody cracked open their head and ran a stick blender up there. Some of the smartest people I knew bought so deeply into this stuff that when they'd harass me and call me a "grandma killer", it was basically word salad coming out of their mouth. It was nuts! Of course I'm calling in suspect pretty much every bit of research conducted over the last two years. Nobody had a level head, myself included. It will be at least a decade before things cool down enough to actually look objectively at covid and our mitigations. And I strongly suspect when it is objectively looked at, it will be regarded as one of the worst public health fuckups in human history. Mass hysteria at a level never before possible.

- spookthesunset 4y agoWe triply live in a post fact world. You can find “facts” and dismiss inconvenient “facts” in order to support whatever you happen believe. In fact you can even find a nice comfy echo chamber to keep you immersed in whatever you believe. However in this case, I am pretty damn sure history will be on my side. Absolutely none of what we did over the last two years made a lick of sense. It is the first real mass hysteria of the internet age.
