What's more, the fear mongering isn't nonsensical at all, it makes perfect sense because fear sells. If the media were honest about covid and provided comprehensive facts about it far fewer of you would be scared but of course they don't do that because they desperately want readers/viewers so they offer misleading info to scare people. You people here are proof of how well it's worked because someone like me comes along with government data proving this thing isn't dangerous and the vast majority of you people here pushback you've all been brainwashed so well which just goes to show it's easier to trick people than to convince them they've been tricked

You’ve got to be joking. I’ve been as level headed and non-freaked out about Covid as anyone. I agree it’s been hysteria.
But even I think you are being totally obtuse here. A virus that kills millions in just a year and a half is no joke. And you are wrong in saying that “only the weak and frail with 1 year to live died”. My coworker’s brother in law, a healthy 48 year old man in Kuwait, just died of Covid. He had not been vaccinated.
My major criticism today is that in the post vaccine world people are still stirring panic about Covid and that is just blatantly irresponsible. We keep counting Covid cases but it’s like a toothless tiger at this point. So what if cases are rising? Hospitalizations and death rates, ICU bed saturation rates are still very low except in areas where people think like you do and refuse the vaccine.
Covid is basically serving as a proxy for all respiratory viruses. When we have open restaurants, stores, festivals, then viruses circulate, as has happened throughout human history. I think most people don’t get that and are appalled and freaked out about all of this, but guess what? This is NORMAL.
