2) Even if the US death toll was 1 million that would be 0.3% which is hardly a number deserving of the "extra deadly" designation. I would think that such a term would be reserved for a death toll in the 10% range.
Considering that the global death rate stands at 0.05%, the entire pandemic response has been nothing more than making a mountain out of a molehill.
Yeah, but *why* do you choose not to?
And if not 700,000, how many Americans would have to die before a mask or vaccine mandate would be justified in your opinion?
We've already lost more citizens than to WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and every conflict since combined. In many of those people were drafted and industries nationalized for the war effort Soldiers were given their uniforms and immunizations and sent to fight. Why should we sit idle now?
