      First you post:

      186.7K a year is below unintentional accidents. Slipping on a wet floor is considered a higher risk of death than covid in 2023

      Then you post:

      Unintentional Fall deaths: 44,686

      Which most certainly includes “Slipping on a wet floor” but is like one quarter the number of COVID deaths you yourself just posted!

      You’re obviously upset about COVID and whatever impact it had on your life but posting bullshit just makes you look like an idiot. At least read the things you post, and maybe also try not to completely contradict yourself sentence to sentence.

            Falls are a common cause of death for the elderly is why. The same group at risk of covid are also the same group likely to die from falling.

              Immunocompromised people exist at every age. People with asthma exist at every age. And 150k dead per year is not a small number.

              I don’t even understand what you’re trying to argue, as if it would be less worth fighting if it only slaughtered the elderly. What a horrible standard and a horrible message to send about the kind of society you’d like to live in.
