I really pissed off a "covid is the worst thing to happen to the human race ever" guy by pointing out the difference between covid, the spanish flu, tuberculosis, and smallpox. In my own country, the number of deaths was way higher under the others, and that's not even correcting for per capita -- there was 1/8th the population and double the deaths over comparable periods of time during those pandemics.
Tuberculosis in particular is a disease with undeniable long-term effects, and unlike something like covid (or even its vaccine -- which might have pissed him off even more since that part of the analysis totally breaks the "you're on the other side" narrative), it was overwhelming. Of the people who got tb, half of them had measurable damage to their lungs that would have to be managed for the rest of their lives. Neither COVID nor COVID vaccines have that level of immediate damage to that overwhelming percentage of the people who get it.
The same guy found a study showing that the covid virus found a way to suppress the immune system and so was continually making the claim that covid gives you AIDS, but if the implication of anyone who got covid gets AIDS (which implies a condition commensurate with getting HIV/AIDS) much of the world (because in spite of vaccines many many people got COVID) would have died of rare viruses and bacteria. Instead, several years after the fact things are really back to normal other than the societal scars left behind by the political tools used during the pandemic. It's similar to all the studies that kill cancer cells in a petri dish and people claim there's all these cures for cancer, but it's easy to kill cancer cells on their own, it's much harder to kill cancer cells and not destroy the rest of the human body.
