Well the new meme from the Left is compare the Deaths from Covid-19 to deaths in war, specifically the Vietnam War.
That started I think at a Q&A at a Virus Press Conference last week when a reporter asked that question.
First of all it's illogical to compare the two. War deaths have no relation to deaths by disease. War can be avoidable, getting a virus isn't.
I would hazard to guess that disease and pestilence have killed more people than wars through out history. Witness the Bubonic Plague that killed an estimated 200 Million of the world's known population in the middle ages.
It is amazing to see the Left somehow bring back the specter of the Vietnam War to the dialogue of this virus we are dealing with.
Should we compare the Flu Death of 1957 and 1968 with the deaths in W.W. II or even the Spanish Flu of 1918?
Agreed.
Nixon ended it.
YES! Thanks for that, FRiend.
A huge chunk of the American populace has no memory of Vietnam. Most of the deaths would have been young soldiers. The virus has mostly been killing the almost dead.
Remember this libs, it was JFK and LBJ’s war.
Nixon ended it.
WELL SAID!
For sure it is an attempt to smear Trump with our defeat in Vietnam. But it is still pretty stupid. Also comparing deaths from a contagious disease to deaths from cancer, or accidents, or yes war. Even AIDS, which is contagious but not very easily.
Not that I take most anything put out by the U.N. at face value, but the U.N. is predicting in the range of 130,000,000 people in less developed countries will soon face famine to the “brink of starvation” resulting from the lockdown of the West. Let’s see how the Left will reconcile these numbers. Of course, everything will be blaned on the virus — as the U.N. is already doing — rather than hold to account the politicians who are directly responsible for the lockdown of the West.
You are correct. And there is a great deal of villain bashing there. The Fearbros are worse than termites. They are evil termites.
And yet there is another wretched hive that is not talked about in polite company.
It is a dark and fearsome place. And there be Humblegunners .
Beware, all men of good heart.
It lives.
Create a meme comparing covid deaths to abortions.
It’s an apt comparison because both were caused by China.
Indeed. It is the stuff of Normie Nightmares.
It is a dark and fearsome place.
True. And they blast crappy music.
And there be Humblegunners .
Not so many these days as the age of magick has passed.

I have heard this tale around the campfire.
It has been told for a thousand years and more.
Recently by folks blinking the tale in morse code.
How do annual flu deaths compare to the Vietnam toll?
Yes, let us please equate 18 year olds being drafted from their homes, sent to a meaningless war, and killed in the prime of their lives with 80 year olds living in a nursing home with underlying compromising medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
With their evil lizard eyes.
*shudder*

Wouldnt that be racist since both were caused by orientals?
I actually believe that may be true.
