Has anybody had enough of this covid BS? Covid-19 is a scratch on the *ss of pandemics, plagues and pestilence.
Small pox... 300 million in the 20th century alone.
Black Plague... 25 million, or 33% of Europe’s population at the time.
Spanish Flu... 50 to 100 million people, or roughly 3% of the worlds population in 1919.
Covid-19... 2 million... or 0.03% of the worlds population today.
You’re comparing past pandemics start to finish with one that’s in progress. With an Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of 0.65%, it’s no smallpox, but it’s no joke either. If we allowed it to run wild without inoculating people with vaccines, we could expect a ballpark of 41 million deaths worldwide.
Or we give people a shot and they have a sore arm for a couple days and 41 million don’t die. Easy choice.
