Minimalizing a half million deaths like this that are preventable is not acceptable to me. Heart attacks and other non-contagious causes of death are bad and most preventable to some degree, but you cannot kill me with a heart attack by simply sneezing on me. The treatment for heart attacks does not have to change because there is a breakout of a new variant of heart attacks in other countries.

It is like comparing crayons and cream soda.
You are protected from the virus by the vaccine, so doesn’t that remove the “contagious” aspect, or are you beginning to doubt the effectiveness of the vaccine? Are you worried that if someone sneezes on you, you will die?
As far as preventable deaths, 440,000 deaths every year are smoking related. 44,000 are from second hand smoke… For only one year has Covid outpaced smoking related deaths. Where is the outrage? Are those deaths “minimalized”?
