DID A MILLION AMERICANS DIE FROM THE FLU IN THE LAST 2 YEARS?

Hello? Public health? Estimated billion annual flu infections around the globe and tens of thousands of dead Americans each year. Are tens of thousands of dead Americans not a matter of public health?

Also, why compare only the last two years? Many millions of Americans died from the flu over the years. If you want to compare an outbreak of covid-19 where most of the population is naive to the flu, compare it to the 1918 outbreak of the flu, not when the flu has mutated down over the years and people became more immune to the virus.

As a matter of fact, ever since omicron came out, upon infection, you are now more likely to die from your regular seasonal flu rather than covid.

JFC that article cites the vaccination as a factor in reducing the death rate

FFS

Remove the vax and tell me comparable death rates

Which, ya known, are what we got in the first year of pandemic.

We mandated the vax because WITHOUT IT we are looking at another million dead in another few years.

Of course vaccination plays a role. Natural immunity and the fact that omicron is less severe by being much less likely to travel to your lungs, also plays a role.

Did you forget that we had the flu vaccines for close to a century? Why would you want to suddenly compare covid without the vaccines to flu with the vaccines?

We're on an even playing field now by comparing covid with the vaccines to the flu with the vaccines.

What's the relevance of bringing up vax mandate at this point in the conversation?

Because of the article OP posted? That's what started this whole convo?

What does that question have anything to do with what I said in my most recent comment? Do you want to start the same coversation all over again? I think you can just look at the history and guide yourself through.

OP posted something regarding the vax mandate

You behave as if its not necessary, cause of lower death rate

I point out, the lower death rate WAS A RESULT OF THE MANDATORY VACCINATIONS

You: "why are we talking about when vaxx's were mandated?"

Fuck you troll. Block.
