You're stating that all viruses kill

Yes, I am, and I'm pretty sure that's a fact.

therefore all viruses are technically the same

That's not what I'm saying at all, does saying all people die mean all people are the same? Does saying all murders kill mean they are all the same? No, there are obviously differences.

which ignores the differences in damage they do to people.

The fact I said isn't about differences in damage, facts don't have to say everything to be facts. My fact also isn't saying or implying that they do the same damage.

If you had any actual point to make with your pedantic bullshit, I didn't see it. You're just textually masturbating as far as I can tell.

Look at the context of who I was responding to. They were basically saying that if it kills we should wear a mask, I pointed out that All viruses kill and we don't wear masks because of those, so just the fact that it kills isn't enough.
