Hahaha, no it doesn't. It would only mean that if EVERY single person in america got covid. Tons and tons of people die from smoking and alcohol, which are totally unnecessary vices that tax the healthcare system far more. Do you want to outlaw them? I'd assume not, because with those things you understand that life entails a certain level of risk.
The delta variant is more contagious, true. It's also far less lethal. Viruses very often become less lethal over time, because it's in their interest to not kill their hosts. So they often mutate into less lethal versions to maximize reproduction over time. I learned that in like highschool biology. The fact is, not treating a seriously ill person, who might not even HAVE covid but is just not vaccinated for it, is seriously evil medical malpractice. And you're calling the right a "death cult", get real.

I wouldn't even really sya they "tax" the healthcare system in terms of putting a strain on it because many of those smoking and alcohol deaths are due to long term health effects. So you don't have packed ICUs and hospitals running out of oxygen because people drink alcohol. Whereas COVID puts a huge strain on the local healthcare system and infrastructure; you see it nonstop in these places where the ICUs are almost at (or are at) capacity due to COVID patients...people with other medical emergencies can't get the help they need.
For example, during the pandemic in NYC we have people dying in waiting rooms, in chairs, sitting on the floor in hallways, etc. because they couldn't get full treatment because the doctors and nurses had so many COVID patients that they were dealing with. You had people dying at home because ambulances couldn't get to them because they were already answering COVID calls nonstop.
You don't have that happening because people choose to smoke cigarettes and drink.
