What utter nonsense, the flu, cancer, heart attacks etc etc has killed millions since WW2, as have countless other illnesses.

Cancer kills over 160,000 people per year.

Heart disease killed about 63,000 in 2019, and that was the lowest this century, in 2000, the figure was around 168,000.

The flu has averaged 5000 deaths per year since 2000, when it killed 22,000 with further spikes in 2009 and 2015, which killed around 19,000.

Covid is not going to kill another 130,000 a year, it only managed that because we had zero immunity, thats simply no longer the case.

Its now reduced to being like a bad flu year - so remind me, which previous bad flu years did we wear masks, work from home etc ?

Myself and my middle daughter had pfizer - zero effects.
My wife had AZ, no effects, my youngest also had it, and felt "off" for a day.
