As someone disabled by covid, I think the world even regressed by covid.
Pre-covid we didn’t have half the population denying that a common virus existed or refusing to get vaccinated.
I tried arguing with an anti COVID vaxer recently and pointed out that in my country there were 14 deaths linked to the vaccine, but over 65M doses administered, which means that you're significantly more likely to die in the car on the way to get vaccinated than from the vaccine itself - but apparently I'm the fool for trusting government collected figures. I don't understand how they think the government is hiding all these supposed deaths.
I've dealt with this too from an anti-vaxxer. It's really frustrating when you can't even agree on a common source for the data being discussed.
With this person, every source I told them I got my information from was wrong or biased - yet that same rebuttal from me about their sources were loudly talked over and/or the goal posts were moved.
