False fear? What are you talking about? I know three people personally, who died from COVID. One of them was my father. I know many others, one person removed from me who succumbed to it. While for most people it was little more than the equivalent of a bad flu, there were/are a significant portion of the population to whom it posed and still poses a deadly threat. Some people like to falsely claim that it was nothing but another strain of flu. Well if it was (which it wasn’t) it was deadlier than any strain of flu we’ve seen in a long time. During the years 2010 to 2020, annual deaths from the flu ranged from 12,000 on the low end (during the 2011-2012 flu season) to 52,000 on the height end (during the 2017-2018 flu season).

In 2020 we had 377,883 deaths from COVID19, and this was during a period when large segments of our population were under quarantine. Regardless of the criticisms many people have over quarantines, and many of these criticisms are valid, they nonetheless slowed the spread of the disease. So, even with a quarantine in place for most of the year, we had a death toll that exceeded the max annual flu death toll from 2010-2020 by more than a factor of 7. Once the quarantines were lifted, the 2021 annual death toll was even greater than 2020.

Like virtually all medications and vaxxes, there are some who have bad, and in some instances, fatal responses to it. Nobody should be forced to take the vaxx, and Trump never supported mandated vaccinations. But while there were undoubtedly fatalities from the vaxxes, the vaxxes also saved lives. Whether to take one of the vaxxes or not is and should be a personal decision. But there’s no perfect answer as to whether an individual will be better off taking the one of the vaxxes or not taking them. People have to look at the risks from either choice and try to decide which course is best for them to take, the best way they can with the data they have.

"...quarantines... they nonetheless slowed the spread of the disease..."

Swamp bunk.

During DS Don's reign we were told lies about mask being effective, nonsense about distancing, wildly exaggerating the lethality of the bug, lying about natural immunity, etc. And lying about cheap, effective treatments already available - because by law they could not get emergency use authorization for their poison if they told the truth.

Yes, it was a bug. Not a flu. A new, semi-novel cold. It was created with your tax money during Trump's term. For God's sake, even that prick Obama protected America and the world from Dr Death's GOF research better than did SuperDon.

Trump was either in on it or was embarrassingly out-witted by a very well-known devil. I don't believe he was tricked. The populist did a stupidly/wrongly popular (because of admin lies) thing. For votes.

Is not a vax, and how do you know the “ vax “ saved anyone? They would have lived without the clot shot.
