Yes but it doesn't explain why we've allowed people to willingly not get flu vaccines or why prior to 2020 we didn't force people with flu-like symptoms to stay home from work or mask up even though flu kills tens of millions over the course of a few decades.

Would you believe that that's _exactly_ the kind of things that Public Health professionals and academics _do_ debate and try and explain?
