... Asian flu was a tragedy, but it wasn't a crisis, because 60 years ago people responded differently. Some modest control measures were taken, but they were very temporary. The world moved on."
So, the obvious untruths:
1. 3 to 5 million deaths during Asian flu is worse than COVID.
COVID is at 30 million dead. So this moron got that wrong. It was May 2020 when he said it. So he was mouthing off, not knowing where things would end, the idiot.

2. For every Canadian that died of COVID 50 died of something else. Very incorrect. COVID on official numbers was 3rd leading cause of death. Heart a little more, then cancer, about double. "Almost 300,000 Canadians will die this year" he said. If cancer is 100,000 and heart 50,000 and COVID 40,000 that's about 7 for each COVID death. Even then, 50 per COVID death is insane. So, what's really nuts is that this man is off his rocker wrong, on his own numbers.
