Your comment comes off as demagogic, and certainly uncharitable and disrespectful. "[reality] doesn't care about your feelings." and "denying reality" are typical expressions that both sides of the divide use to shut-down dialog and to paint their opinion as morally superior and based on truth, as if there is such a thing.
If you want to fight against demagogues, you should engage with people, recognize that issues are nuanced and that most people are not the caricatures that you'd paint them as.
Finally, telling people they're being whiny after a 2 year long pandemic that saw many people lose their loved ones, be unable to even see their bodies, the near collapse of our national health systems (that was not caused solely by the strain of Covid but specifically by the preventative measures put into place) and the great suffering that resulted from it is very insensitive and uncaring. I doubt my great-grandmother would have said anything of the sort were she still alive, and I know for a fact if you asked many elderly people how they've lived these past few years (those who survived) they would not be so dismissive of the complaints of others.
