There's no deflection on my end; in fact, I'm taking your comments and claims head on. As far as diminishment goes, it's not me doing that, it's your own cited source. "Ignore"? Really? That's odd, considering I'm the one taking the entirety of the article into account while you're selectively quoting only the part which plays to an apparent anti-vax agenda.
"The statement is still fact."
Again, never said it wasn't.
"One that no response to my posts has admitted."
Except: "the quote I posted demonstrates that anti-vax screeching about 12% vax-induced myocarditis percentage is essentially meaningless when stood against the differential mortality rates between COVID-induced (4%) vs. vaccine-induced (0.2) myocarditis" acknowledges the myocarditis issue (Some synonyms for admit are: Merriam Webster +1 **acknowledge,** agree, allow, concede, confess, fess (up), etc.) sooooo... oopsie.
"But so long as you have insisted on adding mortality rates into the discussion, let's all acknowledge that the panic stricken overreaction to covid shut down the globe and permanently affected the education of billions of children across the planet for a virus with a mortality rate of...."
Me insisting on "adding mortality rates into the discussion"? Oh, sweetie, it was your source citation did that.
"1% to 2%. But hey, I won't call any death 'statistically meaningless.' You do you, boo."
Nice attempt at false narrative --its okay; I get that you need to try to marginalize me to make yourself look better.
"The quote you pulled from the article does not undermine anything I said."
Yes, as I've already stated quite plainly in unambiguous terms.
"Your claim that I am a hypocrite is unsupported by the quote you pulled from the article."
Really? That's odd considering that you talked shit on grounds of "only reading what they want" when the quote I posted demostrates that anti-vax screeching about 12% vax-induced myocarditis percentage is essentially meaningless when stood against the differential mortality rates between COVID-induced (4%) vs. vaccine-induced (0.2) myocarditis. But okay, perhaps I was a bit hasty in calling "hypocrisy" and instead should have called "selective presentation intended to deliberately misinform".
