yawn. Your strawman is arguing something over and over that I nor anyone else here is arguing. Yes, I think the death count is inflated but even if its not it wouldn’t change my opinion. There is no evidence shutdowns, masks, etc have done anything to help.
I have merely shown how the complete opposite is true. It is the people who insist that Covid is some kind of Hoax, that it's nothing but the flu, that the death count was exaggerated, that there's no proof it even exists, etc., etc., etc. are the cult like fanatics. I provided proof that Covid killed more people than the official count and these people, you included (Yes, I think the death count is inflated but even if its not it wouldn’t change my opinion)), dogmatically refuse to accept it. You're the zealots in this dialectic.
And then you accuse me of throwing out a strawman while you try to change the topic to "there is no evidence shutdowns, masks, etc have done anything to help". You're not only the cultish fanatic, you're the one throwing out strawman arguments (more like a red herring actually but still).
The efficacy of shutdowns and masks and etc was never brought up until you brought it up.
