Tell that to the 250,000 Americans' that died of the flu in the past 8 years, families. I doubt they would say that the flu is not dangerous. I don't dispute the fact that Covid is dangerous. But, I don't believe that I downplayed the seriousness of it either. I have encouraged everyone to get the vaccination, for their own safety. I also respect the right of others to make their own decision without mandates and restrictions imposed on the masses. I understand that there are some that are scared, but it appears that leadership is exploiting that fear, too.
