In 2018 everyone who pays attention knew that hundreds of thousands of people in our country would die every year from a contagious disease, also known as the flu.

You seem to be of the mind that you can somehow stop the spread of Covid, you can't. We have not been able to stop any respiratory virus from spreading EVER. Your vaccines will only limit the effects of the virus on you if you get it. It will in no way stop you from spreading it.

No one who pays attention would have predicted hundreds of thousands of Americans dying from influenza, because in the last decade, it has never happened.

The high-end of yearly flu deaths is in the low 50,000s, while the low-end is just over 10,000. COVID has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans each year.

You're not just misinformed about vaccines, you're outright lying about numbers that can be easily Googled.
