because COVID was no more severe than flu, not airborne Ebola that everyone at the time pretended it was.

what has changed since 2020 and 2021, exactly? there's no cure, there is no permanent vaccine, and I doubt that even twitter neurotics who had two syringes in their handles when COVID was le current thing bother getting their bi-weekly booster, which means virtually all of us are unvaccinated again.
and yet the world keeps spinning. does that not suggest that the detractors were right all along?
we got a new current thing for the media and twitter checkmarks to yell about, and COVID quickly ceased to be a problem - less than three months after "winter of severe illness and death" promised by the white house in december 2021.

You might want to check the CDC website about excess WEEKLY deaths during COVID. That was WITH all of the extra precautions, lock downs, etc. I haven’t seen a flu season that looked like that.
