What crosses over into idiot territory is the people who think it's a conspiracy that the flu kinda went away as we all tried to stop getting covid

As if it's for some other reason other than stopping the spread of something that has identical transmission

The lesson I leaned is that as long as it's not a COVID everyone is dying, we need to save our healthcare system from collapsing situation we shouldn't wear masks because we need to be able to fend off common colds with our body or we are artificially creating a pandemic. For example we almost had a new collapse of infant care because way to many babies for a certain flu type after everything opened up again which would normally spread out over longer periods.
