Once covid-19 is gone, society will finally be safe. As of this posting, it is currently .02% unsafe!

Because covid is not real and all these stats are being used to instill fear (and control) YOU

Imagine believing "200k+ preventable deaths is no biggie" is a compelling argument to anyone but abject maniacs and fucking dipshits.

Look, the Right turned our COVID response into a culture war battle because the self-serving POTUS encouraged them to and now you're suffering cognitive dissonance and doubling down on beliefs you simply can't admit to yourself are wrong. This is the president's entire political strategy: tell lies which blatantly contradict consensus reality, forcing his followers to hold beliefs which run contrary to what they deep down know to be true, resulting in a cult of malleable zombies. This is basic manipulation and if you don't recognize these tactics for what they are you are extremely susceptible. Sorry that's just how human brains work(or don't).

While your post makes perfect sense, the amount of big words you used is going to alienate any Trump supporters that read it.

You have to stick to single (or at most double) syllable words for them to understand. For example, "Make America great again "...they know what that means!

Covid is a huge sham. It's been an opportunity for otherwise weak leaders to take supreme control and ignore the rights of the American people.

When all the dust has settled, we will look back at the highly political response to covid as one of the worst blunders in recent history.

Everything OP shared is true, that's what worries me about some of you. You just want to ignore facts in favor of your feelings.

preventable
Ha.

I can't believe the world leaders from the past 20 years. We have ~600,000 PREVENTABLE global flu deaths every year...

Obviously, they are to blame for the 100% of these 600,000 deaths which are all entirely preventable if "my guy" was running the show....

Why aren't we social distancing and masking BEFORE COVID? Why isn't it mandated? Why aren't we forcing people to wash their hands and hide in their homes EVERY flu season and beyond... just to be sure?

Don't you CARE about these 600,000 people? Typical heartless money-grubbing capitalists!

Do you see how silly you sound now?

Hi my name is Bob. I care about the 1M*** COVID flu deaths, but not the 600K regular flu deaths annually. I didn't think we should mask, lockdown, test, and freak out for those 600K, but for these 1M*** ya'know.. it just reached my "I care" limit of 750K people.

Don't be like Bob, people.

THIS ^^ is why your argument is either (1) stupid or (2) hypocritical.

Unless you want your draconian BS policies post-COVID and you can explain with a great reason why we didn't need them pre-COVID, you're argument is total BS.

There are 2 types of people in the world.

Anti maskers (anti vaxers etc)

People who expected their neighbors to wear a mask and stop bitching during a pandemic.

That is all.

Edit: You say the left is crazy but this is what you thinks wearing a mask for a couple years during a pandemic means:

Trump's Grandpa died from the Spanish Flu in 1918.
