I actually told people at the outset of the covid lockdowns, “at least we won’t have a flu season this year.” Then later on I saw people online floating this as some kind of conspiracy and I thought, “wait, this wasn’t obvious to everyone?”

I’m not lying you know. I did say this, and everyone I said it too either said that they had also had the same thought, or if they hadn’t, they still agreed after thinking about it for a moment. That includes conservatives. Anyone could have seen it coming, and many did. It was only after that fact that the conspiracy memes started going around.

That is not correct: they are two different viruses.

Even if you’re making a loose analogy that’s still a poor comparison.
