This really brings up how fucking mind bogglingly short our attention span and memory seems to be. Donald trump murdered my grandfather, he murdered some of my favorite musicians and artists, he murdered one in 300 Americans, and most of us just fucking moved on and forgot I guess

Pretty wild how it feels like an entire lifetime ago but it was really only like 3 years.

For the fact checkers https://www.bbc.com/news/61333847

According to the WHO, in 2020 and 2021 the US recorded more than 930,000 excess deaths, behind India (4.7m), Russia (1.1m) and Indonesia (1m).

Since the meme mentions rate, rather than total deaths, this graphic from that article is probably more relevant

This is an informative chart that definitely contributes to the discussion. Without any clue where it comes from, though, I have no way to gauge its credibility.

I’m curious on how that translates in population density? The US is (on average) a fair bit lower in density compared to other countries, and still had atrocious numbers for Covid

Do those three countries count as developed? The author could be relying on that qualifier. As a U.S. citizen, I would rather be compared to places like France, Germany, Japan, etc. than them (no offense ment, but we’re talking about aspirations).

You could have made this meme better by abstaining from AI art.

Isn’t it sad how easy it is to spot? We’ve wasted billions of dollars and burned more resources than entire countries just to scalp a job from artists making the most generic images imaginable. Corporate Memphis wishes it could be this bad.

I think this is a bit different. We aren’t making ridiculous claims. It’s just a normal meme made with a different tool.
