My question about people like Alice is why were they never equally terrified of the flu? Alice and millions like her absolutely did not live like Howard Hughes before Covid. Why not? Their risk post-vaccine is substantially less than it was for flu and post-flu complications prior to the pandemic,* so what happened? Shows the power of propaganda I guess.

*Yes, influenza does often cause “long flu” as I guess we’d call it now. See here for more info.
