    Observation selection bias is an easy one the GOP likes to take advantage of. Eg: not testing for covid to show covid went down.

    Also: drone strike civilian casualties.

        Lol. Look at this galaxy brain equivicating there start of a pandemic with an endemic with vaccine.

        I mean, obviously the covid hospital occupancy rates would be identical if the actual case rate was the same.

        Oh wait...

        What's that? Less then 10k vs over 140k? Definitely the exact same situation! /s

        Don't trip over yourself making excuses now

          Hospital rates are down because we killed a lot of people and the rest aren't being recorded as covid.

          I know people who very recently have caught and have had their bodies permanently damaged by this disease within the last few months, one of them being a family member who did everything right, so the whole "lol no big deal it's endemic now" shit is really fucking depressing, ngl. It kind of handwaves away a very real pain people are going through.
