Again, stop being dumb. Comparing two things isn't the same as equating them.

I'll respond to one thing because you are simply playing dumb with everything else you wrote.Which is apparently you...
I already know you deny mathematics.
So that describes you. I guess you think the world is flat.
Covid isn't mathematics or the shape of a planet, Void.
They do. I guess you haven't figured that out yet, Void.
You aren't trying to reason.
The Democrat party is a conspiracy. It is no theory.
I have all the help I need. I hired them.
"You'd also have to believe that all the people who is was reported died from SARS-CoV-2 would have died at the exact same time, on the exact same date, of the virus didn't exist."
My wife's friend's parents died 3 days apart in, I believe, June of 2021. Let's say she died on a Monday at 2:21pm and he died on a Thursday at 7:01am.
If you believe that they didn't die of Covid then you have to believe, if sars-cov-2 didn't exist, they still would have died on the SAME day of the week at EXACTLY the same time.
Do you believe that? Oh, and no tap dancing. It's a simple yes or no.

If I compare a bicycle to a car I am not saying they are the same thing. I am telling you the differences between the things. One has an engine, the other does not, for instance. This follows if I am using things as examples too. If I tell you I like bicycles, it does not mean I do not believe in automobiles....
Read this next part slowly so you can keep up: Comparing two things does not mean that anyone thinks they are the same thing.
If I use a flat earth analogy when talking about folks that think Covid doesn't exist, it is an analogy, it doesn't mean I think Covid is a planet.

So?
I think you are making it up, Void.

They are both vehicles.
They both have engines. One runs on gasoline, the other on chemical power (the food you eat). This is of course ignoring EVs.
Okay. No problem there!
It DOES mean they are part of the same superclass, or the equivalency is invalid. You can only compare two things that are part of the same class or superclass.
Covid isn't the shape of a planet. Earth is not a virus. There is nothing to compare.
I never said that Covid doesn't exist. There are a couple of dozen of known variants of the Covid/SARS series of viruses. NONE of them kill.

Never said it was, Void.
The 'Flat Earth' myth in the 19th Century was actually spread by so-called 'objective rationalists' trying to discredit Christianity and promote 'Social Darwinism', pretending it was all 'sciency n stuff'. lol they were of course merely halfwits with high self-esteem, as usual.

The myth of the flat Earth, or the flat-Earth error, is a modern historical misconception that European scholars and educated people during the Middle Ages believed the Earth to be flat.
The earliest clear documentation of the idea of a spherical Earth comes from the ancient Greeks (5th century BC). The belief was widespread in the Greek world when Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of Earth around 240 BC. This knowledge spread with Greek influence such that during the Early Middle Ages (c. 600 –1000 AD), most European and Middle Eastern scholars espoused Earth's sphericity.Belief in a flat Earth among educated Europeans was almost nonexistent from the Late Middle Ages (c. 1300 –1500 AD) onward, though fanciful depictions appear in art, such as the exterior panels of Hieronymus Bosch's famous triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, in which a disc-shaped Earth is shown floating inside a transparent sphere.
According to Stephen Jay Gould, "there never was a period of 'flat Earth darkness' among scholars, regardless of how the public at large may have conceptualized our planet both then and now. Greek knowledge of sphericity never faded, and all major medieval scholars accepted the Earth's roundness as an established fact of cosmology."< Historians of science David Lindberg and Ronald Numbers point out that "there was scarcely a Christian scholar of the Middle Ages who did not acknowledge [Earth's] sphericity and even know its approximate circumference".
Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell says the flat-Earth error flourished most between 1870 and 1920, and had to do with the ideological setting created by struggles over biological evolution. Russell claims "with extraordinary few exceptions no educated person in the history of Western Civilization from the third century B.C. onward believed that the Earth was flat", and ascribes popularization of the flat-Earth myth to histories by John William Draper, Andrew Dickson White, and Washington Irving.

Yup. No wonder the flu "disappeared" for two years (it actually didn't). The government made COVID lucrative, thus everything became COVID.

"Covid isn't the shape of a planet. Earth is not a virus. There is nothing to compare.'
I'm comparing the mindset of the people who believe earth is flat and the people who believe Covid isn't deadly.
Again, you already knew that, but insist on playing dumb.

There ARE, however, people that believe the Earth is really flat. I believe Void is one of them.The 'Flat Earth' myth in the 19th Century was actually spread by so-called 'objective rationalists' trying to discredit Christianity and promote 'Social Darwinism', pretending it was all 'sciency n stuff'. lol they were of course merely halfwits with high self-esteem, as usual.

Oh...and the Earth is spheroid, despite your stated belief that the Earth is flat.

One more try....
From a previous post... which you already saw, read and ignored... for reasons that are obvious.
Note the question mark.
If you believe that they didn't die of Covid then you have to believe, if sars-cov-2 didn't exist, they still would have died on the SAME day of the week at EXACTLY the same time.
Do you believe that? Oh, and no tap dancing. It's a simple yes or no.

My cousin's brother's friend's sister's daughters' grandparents (twice removed) died a few days apart. Ergo, COVID KILLED THEM BOTH!!!!!!
Yes, I do. It's not uncommon for spouses to die within days or weeks of each other, so I don't find it to be convincing that "it must've been COVID".

They both, when hospitalized, were confirmed to have Covid. The second spouse was also very sick. He/she, whichever one died second, didn't "die of a broken heart" or whatever it is you're implying.
So, given that they were both sick and were confirmed to have Covid, you believe they would have both died on exactly the same day, at exactly the same time, if Covid didn't exist?
