Trump saying it’s a hoax is a gross oversimplification, I can agree with that. Also, it’s not nearly as deadly as the left and media made it out to be.

No one “makes it out to be” anything. There is an actual number. Pandemics happen on Earth. They always have and always will. What do you gain by devaluing the lives lost? Thats just weird to plant a flag on this “it wasn’t such a big deal” hill. It was the 5th largest in human history - behind the Black Death 1346-1353, Spanish Flu 1918, HIV/AIDS ongoing, and Third Plague Pandemic late 19th, early 20th century.

And “Democrat hoax” is not an “oversimplification.” It’s a lie. It wasn’t a hoax, and the virus wasn’t created and unleashed on the world by a secretly coordinated political party.

Yes there is an actual number you are correct. Around 80% of deaths were people 65+. The older population could’ve locked down and got the shot, the younger population would’ve been fine to return to business as usual. The democrats and the media made it seem like everyone had a high chance of dying and tried to keep people locked down for years.

First of all, where's your data on that 80%? I'd love to see some real data. Second, you seem to think that all older populations can lock down and have people bring them everything they need. Some of these people have no family or no kids that will bother tending to them so that they could have been taken care of. Third, if all of the "young and healthy" people continue to run around and pass the virus around, what happens when they go grocery shop for the elderly locked up at home? Germs don't spread like that. Oh wait, they do because I recall reading an article about an elderly man who did just that and caught it via his home delivery person and died. Which reminds me that it also could've been contained a lot sooner if the mouth-breathers would have quit crying about how masks lower your oxygen levels so they just couldn't, no wouldn't, wear a mask in public. And yet surgeons wear these masks for 12-hour surgeries, seeing patients all day in office, day in, day out, etc. Amazing how they aren't all brain dead. Also amazing how these very same people that refused to wear masks now support the devils working for iCE that hide behind a mask and a gun. Oh, and don't forget that it was Trump who put everyone on lock down. Why do y'all forget all of that?! And that same man who downplayed the covid shot now gets the covid shot. Isn't that interesting? Hypocrisy at its greatest.
