    Showing what unintentional means, falls are a large part of it. Cherry-pick all you like, it doesn’t change the subject.

      Bruh you’re the one who cherry-picked “falls” and represented it as more common than COVID. 💀

        Falls are a common cause of death for the elderly is why. The same group at risk of covid are also the same group likely to die from falling.

          Immunocompromised people exist at every age. People with asthma exist at every age. And 150k dead per year is not a small number.

          I don’t even understand what you’re trying to argue, as if it would be less worth fighting if it only slaughtered the elderly. What a horrible standard and a horrible message to send about the kind of society you’d like to live in.
