Covid overreaction is also killing people.

Which is deadlier: a quarantined subreddit of people who are against a vaccine that *sometimes* reduces transmission, or telling hundreds of millions of overweight people to sit on their couch watching Netflix because going outside for exercise will kill their grandma?

The "covid death" numbers are inflated. That's a fact. Last year in America, 500 covid deaths also happened to include "choked on a non-food item" on their death certificate. Dozens of narcotic overdoses counted as covid deaths. One unlucky soul was literally struck by lightning, but still counted as a covid death.

Why aren't they stomping their feet about all the drug subs? Shouldn't the ketamine sub be banned? It's enabling and killing people too

The vaccine isn't about reducing transmission. Let's be clear on that. It's about reducing severity of symptoms. Vaccinated people can absolutely catch and spread this thing, albeit at lower rates. What vaccinated people do not do, however, is go to the hospital and die on a respirator.
