I hardly see why covid fatality data is a strawman in that discussion
I compared mortality statistics of the flu to those of covid.
You posted a link to absolute numbers of deaths, of covid of the flu, from the same period.
When one of the main criticisms of covid data is that it has absorbed flu fatalities.
I don't even need to argue that covid mortality data is skewed or flawed, since even when giving you the most generous numbers, my argument still stands.
2012 flu mortality rivals that of 2020 covid mortality, for 75 year olds. If you had bothered to look at the data posted, you would've seen that other age groups show similar results.
this “you’re a jew” bullshit is just a distraction
You do not argue in good faith. I'm accusing you of being disruptive and dishonest.
No we were not discussing mortality rates, we were discussing fatality rates. You misidentified fatality rate as mortality when you said ebola mortality was 50% and rabies mortality is 100%. (Right before you called someone else stupid) That is the case fatality rate. Mortality is risk of death of the total population from ebola/rabies. Which is insanely low.
We are interested in how deadly flu and covid are if you catch them. I assert that covid is far more fatal per case than flu.
This is because you are either too dumb or too dishonest to post the relavent data
The overall CFR ranged from 0.054 to 0.086 per 1,000 persons with ILI due to nH1N1. There was a strong association with age (p = 0.00001, chi- square for trend), with the CFR being more than 11-fold higher for those >65 years compared to children 0–17 years by each adjustment method. The CFR for those >65 ranged from 0.094 to 0.147 per 1,000 persons.

That is case fatality rate for H1N1 from NYC, which is completely nigged out an therefore artificially high.
So that is ~1% fatality rate for people over 65. If you don’t like that study, find one that evaluates a similar statistic because we are talking about fatality of covid as compared to flu.
