    And the ‘it’s just a flu!’ people pissed me the fuck off.

    I think many people haven’t actually had the flu or have had it after a vaccination or a during mild year.

    That shit is awful, and it can and has killed. Hell, 100 years before COVID there was the 1918 Flu Epidemic which killed nearly three times as many people as COVID. So when some chucklefuck prattles on about “it’s just the flu,” my response is always, “that doesn’t make it safer.”
