Not trying to argue which is worse. Folks can make arguments either way. Which is my point. It's foolish to think there is one clear answer.

More than half a million people died of AIDS LAST YEAR.

I am sorry to hear about your father but there are 40M people living with HIV right now. So people are still dealing with the impact of COVID.

That math is easy. 15% isn't 100% and because AIDS is still killing a lot of people today and will hopefully never reach 100%.

The fact is coming up with a vaccine greatly changed the trajectory of COVID...thank god.

SO again, not trying to argue one is worse, only that it doesn't make sense to say the two diseases aren't comparable and COVID is clearly objectively worse.
