It's not that these aren't valid questions. But most people first listen to the media and the government and already make up their minds. Then it gets extremely hard to convince them otherwise while the media is blasting propaganda 24/7.
The sheep will follow whatever they're told to believe by the authority. They'll just resent you for providing them with something to actually think about in a critical thinking manner.

After reading some of the replies that were pro-Covid19 (pro-vid19? A term to describe people who believe in Covid19? I should start using that), your words are spot on. The fact that you can wave this stuff right in someone's face and they'll still say "Ok if you say so moron, we're all dying here" while everything is fine (on the disease front, at least) is extremely discouraging. Their responses reek of conditioning and lack of critical thought.
Also noticed that Provids tend to think pretty highly of themselves- think they're smarter/better than everyone, often to the point of extreme arrogance. One man said something like "this is so stupid, i can't believe you'd even ask those questions. covid is real, holy shit i wish i had that minute of my life back". Didn't actually answer any of the questions.
The only answer I saw among the Provids was this- "the death rates/flu are down because the lockdowns, masks, social distancing, and becoming obsessively sterile have been very effective". That's all they need to know, in their minds. Nevermind all of the other questions, it's stupid to question this at all because I'm safe and everything is working.
I believe the real pandemic is not actually covid despite what you may have been lead to believe. Sure, people get sick from covid or its variants, but the real culprit of how the governments around the world were able to convince their respective populace is "egoism".
Those who are willingly fooling people are doing so out of their sense of superiority and entitlement to justify their lies. They want more of what they desire despite all the negative impacts they'll have on other people by spreading lies.
Those who are convinced of thise lies are mainly people who do not have the capability to think beyond the interest of just themselves. Their ego is so enlarged and emboldened by the propaganda telling them that extreme self preservation at the expense of everything else is completely ok.
At the root of this pandemic is the total and complete corruption of ego to the point of attacking other people for the sole purpose of extending and exerting the will of their ego at all cost.
I may just be completely wrong with this theory, but that's the best I can come up with so far. And that's ok because even if you say you don't agree with me, I'll be fine and I'll still listen if you can make a coherent argument. Unfortunately, there's just too many people out there who are so convinced that they're right, they'll fight you for it.
