a) 5+ million people are dead. This isn't "nothing".

b) Delta strain of COVID is affecting younger people at increasing rates [1] and at least here in Australia we are seeing hospitalisations with far more young people than in the past.

The overwhelming majority of people who died of it reached a very advanced age and had other medical conditions. They would probably have died of a normal flu too.

Your link is pure fake news. It's an article trying to pass a known side effect of the mRNA medication (myocarditis) as stemming from the virus. Also it's from the press of an authoritarian country that is deporting people into camps...

a) So you’re saying hundreds of millions of people are going to die suddenly over the next 2 years from flu and “medical conditions”. Be curious to see the studies on this looming catastrophe.

b) Australia is not an authoritarian country by any definition and ABC News is highly respected as an independent news source.
