So any time I see a post like the one in the OP, I immediately assume there is a statistical error in there somewhere. And so far, there seems to be every single time. Probably, someone will eventually prove me wrong on that, but as a general rule it seems appropriate.

Heart Attacks and Cancer are #1 and #2: www.cdc.gov...
And nobody goes through their day paranoid about either of those threats killing them, or anyone they know.
You can imagine how un-concerned people would be about Covid-19, if the people who make money from everything associated with the disease, were not fanning so much fear.
one might be appropriately concerned about getting cancer, or having heart problems. but there is nothing anyone but themselves can really do in order to not suffer from such conditions. where reasonable things can in fact be done to prevent covid, such as the very simple step of everyone appropriately wearing masks.

Going by "official" numbers it is the third leading cause. Going by reality it's not even close.
By the way, why is it ok for obese people to take up hospital beds from heart disease which is the number 1 killer? They should be mandated to eat healthy, right?

This right here shows you are lying. Whether willingly or not, I am not sure... If your claim was true and only 100,000,000 (100 million) Americans had been infected by COVID-19 there would have been 2.5 million deaths in the U.S. If 50,000,000 Americans had been infected and your numbers were right then there would have been 1,250,000 dead Americans.
But the U.S. death rate from COVID-19 is at 858,346 out of supposedly 60,464,426 infected. Which means the death rate, if the figures were 100% correct, is at 1.42%
But then again you have to remember that many Americans were asymptomatic and didn't even know they had COVID-19.
Oh, and one more thing Omicron... The amount of people dead around the entire world due to Omicron is very, very low despite it's high level of infection.

I mean , who wouldn’t lock their kid in the trunk? Have you caught a cold before? They are highly inconvenient. Are you one of those cult of Trump guys?
