Irony.
What determines risk of a disease to any group is the prevalence of the disease in said group, the rate of significant health effects and the mortality rate. The prevalence for an infectious disease driven by R0. The alpha variants R0 is approximately 2.4. The R0 for the delta variant is approx 8. That means every 1 person that contracts the delta variant, 8 more people will be infected. The flu is typically around R0 1.5. Since pneumonia can be caused by many different bacteria, viruses, and fungi, you'd literally have to have zero idea what you're talking about to use that as your example, because SARS COV2 can and does cause viral pneumonia in a large number of covid 19 patients. Influenza deaths in elderly are commonly from viral pneumonia too.
But here's the flu/pneumonia deaths by state since 2005. They CLEARLY show you're wrong.

The mortality rate of covid 19 to this point has been approx .7%, flu is .1%. And non sars cov2 pneumonia deaths are much lower than covid 19 deaths. SARS COV2 is the bacteria. Covid 19 is the resulting disease that can kill a patient by causing pneumonia, blood clot disorders and organ failure.
It's embarrassing, but entertaining,
watching you fumble fuck an argument from pure ignorance and ego.
