Seriously?

Ok, I'll explain it like I would to my 6-year old: Your point of reference was to the 2nd greatest war in human history. This makes the reader think you are comparing COVID deaths to a large number. But you were actually comparing COVID deaths to a very small number, both because population was much smaller back then (the US population has more than tripled since then) and because the USA wasn't really involved.


Here, I'll do it the other way: there have been more deaths by drowning in the last two years than from COVID. Does this mean that we should make the same effort toward defeating drowning that we are making towards defeating COVID? Of course not.

Or this way: There are 20 times more refugees from the socialist government in Venezuela than total worldwide deaths from COVID. Does this mean that we should make the same effort towards defeating Venezuela that we are making to defeat COVID? Of course not.
