    Look at the context of who I was responding to. They were basically saying that if it kills we should wear a mask, I pointed out that All viruses kill and we don’t wear masks because of those, so just the fact that it kills isn’t enough.

    And there’s the false equivalency that you’re trying to banish with sophistry magic.

    They said “it kills” in a non-precise pedantically-incorrect way about something that is dangerous and you’re doing victory laps congratulating yourself on a reddit-logo tier “technically correct” masturbatory moment.

      Again, I think you need to look up the definition of false equivalency, what I am saying isn’t that.

      Define dangerous, because I wouldn’t call current strains of covid dangerous. The hospitalized death rate isn’t that far off the flu at this point. It used to be more deadly, but it’s just not anymore.

      But hey, at least we can agree I’m technically correct.

        Again

        You’re being dense on purpose because it’s that important for you to congratulate yourself on a silly pedantic thing that none one else cared about, not the person you were being smug to in the first place, and not to me.

        But hey, at least we can agree I’m technically correct.

        Your self-congratulatory narcissism is noted. congratulations
