I have been an adult for 50 years. Have seen people drown, be killed in car accidents, die from falling off roofs, lots of cancer and heart attack deaths, pneumonia deaths, many deaths from sepsis (old folks), people killed in war, tons of drug overdoses, alcohol poisoning....
Don't know anyone who died from the flu.
Nor Covid, of course.
So let's extend your argument to it's logical conclusion: that is, no one has ever died from the flu, or at least it occurs only rarely. Therefore, the great flu pandemic of 1918 never happened even though it has been in the history books long before the current pandemic. And even though the population distribution indicated a massive increase in the number of deaths in that year.
So would you agree?
No.
I noted that, based on 50 years of experience, that claims if 40k to 60k flu deaths per year are surely overstated.
Never said nobody ever died from the flu. Never said the Spanish flu pandemic did not occur.
No point in any discussion of you have to be so dishonest to support your view
