Imagine being such an isolated shut in that you go through my comment history to cherry pick a statement so you can have a contrived excuse to hurl an ad hominem.

You spent more time writing this than I did looking at your comment history, so what exactly does that make you? Furthermore, this isn't cherrypicking; in the few minutes that I looked at your comment history, I saw a number of comments indicating the same position, this one just happens to be the one making a clear claim which is trivially easy to disprove. You can compare the 2018 flu season, which is considered the worst flu season we've had in the last 40 years, and which killed as many as 80,000 people, to COVID-19's impact.

Notice how one only caused a modest rise in the total death rate, and the other caused total deaths to absolutely skyrocket? Now note the date on the article, and note the date on your comment. The fact that you're still repeating a flu bro talking point in fucking August, combined with your apparent dislike of me, a guys who is obviously a lefty, is why I called you a right-wing tard.

You've affirmed multiple times that you think COVID-19 is way overblown and your claim that it's no more dangerous than the flu is consistent with that view. The example I mentioned isn't cherrypicking. Learn what words mean.

But, here you are spreading hatred, and division, not building bridges, and understanding.

Let me ask you something. Do you think you're the first right-winger I've tried debating with on here? Hell no. I've had plenty of conversations, but even when you give them direct links to the actual papers on the subject, it's like talking to a brick wall.

I tried pointing out to the racial realists that socioeconomics is an important factor, and I cited my sources with good papers like this one. The response I got that it was still all about race. I tried pointing out to the Trump-tards that HCQ wasn't working and most large studies showed it had no impact, citing my sources with the largest clinical trials of HCQ available.

At the same time, there are people on this site that I get along with even though some of their politics are different. Those chats work because neither of us are stubbornly holding some disproven falsehood as a core belief. If you think I'm "spreading hatred and division", it's probably because you spend too much time hanging out with either the racists, or the stubborn and/or ignorant users. And given that you believe that COVID-19 is no more dangerous than the flu, I'd say you're in good company.

Yep, got any more of those mainstream trash"news" and "studies" for me that you have to mentally masturbate to because you can't articulate a coherent winning argument? Seen it all before and it's been debunked. Science is real, you are vapid. With you being the low Iq resident normie, it's what we expect.

can't articulate a coherent winning argument

Honestly, I didn't think my comment was that hard to understand. Maybe for you it was, though, who knows. Really ballsy to accuse me of being the low IQ one when you can't seem to make very basic connections, like "If there are over 200,000 people dead, then this has to be more dangerous than the flu".

You can tell yourself I'm stupid for following the science all you want, I guess. This is saidit, there are tons of creationists and conspiracy theorists alt-righters and other anti-science chuds on here, so you're in good company.

Not that it matters, since you have been pulled way off topic. And at some point, it's best to simply disengage.
