I'm not going to take your silly dare because I never said that, and I agree 100% with your apparent thoughts on covid being a big cause of death. I do not understand your outrage.
The numbers presented for people killed by covid alone are low. The numbers presented for people killed by covid with other co-morbidities are high.
That's not saying covid did not kill people. How in the world can you come up with that connection and become outraged at me for stating this simple and well known fact?
It is quite true that you can say, "They had this other condition but without covid they would not have died".
Perfectly true.
You can also say, "They had covid, but without this other condition they would not have died."
Perfectly true also.
Covid is a big contributor to death. I have never said otherwise. But in the majority of cases, it requires some other factor in combination to be fatal. Not in
every case, but in
most of them.
It is vitally important to take covid out of the equation since it is such a big contributor. Your outrage is misplaced. I think you feel I have a position on this that I most certainly do not.
