Also, older people were more prone to dying from Covid. That left a lot of room for conspiracy theories regarding what actually killed them. Heard of lot of conservative family members say “oh, it was probably just a bad flu that killed them.” And when the vaccines came out that quickly changed to “the vaccine killed them.”
My dad died due to COVID and one of the dipshits we hired to help load his stuff into a moving truck kept going on about how incredulous he was that anyone would die from “the flu”. These people, they are not intelligent.
Yeah, I remember the ‘grandma wanted to die for the economy!’ ghouls.
And the ‘it’s just a flu!’ people pissed me the fuck off. Like have you morons never HAD the flu? It’s not like the flu is somehow pleasant and fun. You don’t want the flu! Nobody wants the flu! You idiots got a flu shot, get your damn covid shot.
And the ‘it’s just a flu!’ people pissed me the fuck off.
I think many people haven’t actually had the flu or have had it after a vaccination or a during mild year.
That shit is awful, and it can and has killed. Hell, 100 years before COVID there was the 1918 Flu Epidemic which killed nearly three times as many people as COVID. So when some chucklefuck prattles on about “it’s just the flu,” my response is always, “that doesn’t make it safer.”
