As someone who knew a few people under age 35 who died from Covid, I find this comment offensive.

In my ~2mio pop country, by the end of restrictions, we had (iirc) 5 people in the "below 35" age group what died 'with covid' (not necessarily because of it).

For comparison, that's way less than traffic deaths. Even way less than suicide rates in that age group (and we all know how bad the lockdowns were for many peoples' mental health).

We also had a 20yo girl die because of vaccine-induced clots. She got vaccinated, because she had to (couldn't use public transport without either a vaccine or getting tested every 48 hours, and there was no testing location near her to get tested).

Let's not mention all the other promises.

We took out a good year of schooling and socializing for the whole generation of kids, with empty promises of "when we get vaccines, you won't be able to infect grandma".

A war has casualties on both sides?

But really I find this war analogy a bit silly anyway..

That's the thing, some people have one experience and other the opposite.

I kept hearing "everyone knows someone who was affected by Covid", but I for one have none in my family nor have I heard any Covid related losses from any of my colleagues, but obviously there are people who were affected.

On other hand I do know a person who died due to depression caused by the isolation of lock down.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

I thought we are in a place where people seem to express some sort of intelligence, and yet, reality always finds a way...

Ignorance. Ignorance always finds a way. Also, HN is rife with political trolls from China, Russia, the USA, and other countries that fund state-sponsored social media programs.

All wars target the young and healthy.
