Oh ... and the “normal” flu does not kill 100’s of thousands a year. 2017-18 was an especially bad year and the toll was 79,000. Really ... you should look stuff up ‘fore gassing on and on ‘bout it.

Oh ... and the death rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths by the number of people who were infected, regardless of how many people were vaccinated.

Simple math, simple fact. F.a.c.t.

“If we didnt have a vaccine for the flu you'd be seeing just how deadly it is.”

Bzzzzzttt ... you lose. Only 37% of American adults got a flu vaccination in 2018, and that number is dropping year to year. (See link below.)

I know you are in love with your opinions, and “stuff you’ve heard,” but that does not make them facts.

If you’ve never worn one, how do you know it causes you to touch your face more often? And why do surgeons wear masks in the operating room?

The death rate among those who become infected is something like 30-40 times the “normal flu,” and it’s far more contagious than the “normal flu.” The “normal flu” doesn’t result in 10’s of thousands of people with a ventilator tube stuck down their throat into their lungs.

The death rate has nothing to do with whether there is a vaccine — it’s based on those who contract the virus, not those who’ve been innoculated against it. Really, people, ya can look this stuff up.

Hey, Tal ... will you *ever* learn how to spell “populace” correctly? Ever? Here’s a hint: there’s only one “O”. You’re welcome.

Uh ... Chucky ... the “normal flu” does not kill 100,000 Americans in less than 3 months. Really. You could look it up.

8 ... 25 ... 27 ... so much for the notion that only old people are at risk.

Gravy Davis’ biggest concern is that at the gub’mint buffet, somebody put a plastic screen between him and da Gravy boat. “Where my spoon?!?”
