Millions died. Can try to explain it anyway you like, but the original strain was the most virulent and it killed the most people. Can deny that if you want but in places like India and Ecuador they had bodies stacked up and mass graves dug. Thousands of seniors died in nursing homes in New York because infected patients were sent there. The deniers want to say they were all old and feeble and were dying anyways. Well something put a bunch of them over the edge all at once.We didn’t see a pandemic this time we saw governments all over the world over reacting or pretending and making nonsense rules.
Save for a few countries that kept their head about them such a Sweden. And I’m sorry for the government to tell me. I am locked in my home because of a virus might as well be able to tell me. I also can’t go out because I could trip and fall. You clearly don’t understand what liberty means.. you can’t have public health if you don’t have personal health. And personal health is your own choice.
What people like DeSantis realized was that it was the very elderly who were most vulnerable and it wasn't necessary to shut down everyone. The single biggest problem that came out of the pandemic was rushing an unproven technology to market as a vaccine and we're still paying the consequences of that. I truly hope the excess deaths tail off but on the opposite end of this argument are those arguing the vaccines are totally safe yet hundreds of thousands of sudden deaths worldwide of young, healthy adults with the common denominator being they were vaccinated suggests to me something is going on that can't be explained as random chance.
