One of the classics people will pull out when they're trying to gaslight you into ignoring COVID is, "More people die every year in car accidents! Are you going to stop driving?" Putting aside that (according to the excess death data I've seen for the US) that isn't even true, I'm like, "Yeah, and it's fucking wild that tens of thousands of people are dying every single year and instead of implementing tried-and-true methods to reduce fatalities we're actively making things worse! That's not normal, that's just been normalized!"
