(11,669 posts)You didn't say it was, however you used the C work and smoking. That's a false argument, IMO.
That said, we don't have the flu pandemic of 2021 (and we didn't have a bad flu season last year), do we? It's because the majority of citizens have and will get the Influenza vaccine.
We have over 600 thousand people dead. I'm not sure if the tweet in the OP is fact-based but the idea of abjecting to companies requiring a vaccine to cancer or obesity drugs (and that was a response to another poster, not you) is akin to comparing apples and oranges.
It's a f*cking pandemic. It's a public health crisis and it's global. It's FAR past time to take serious action to abate this virus.
Comparing Covid to cancer and smoking is not a good debate tactic. Hell, even the flu vaccine isn't -- we don't have a flu pandemic.
