I think the point is we have up to 80,000 flu deaths each year in the US. If Covid never happened and 80,000 people died of the flu nobody would bat an eye.

Yes, because we knew how to deal with 80k. Suddenly we had to deal with 400k, which is a much larger number.

You talk like the big ongoing campaign to increase flu vaccination rates is some sort of accident.
