More people still died of heart disease but you still dont see us banning crappy foods to save them. Think of how many lives we could save that way.

Unlike cancer and heart disease, Covid isn't a broad category of diseases that are an unavailable consequence of humanity up until the moment we discovery immortality. Heart disease also kills more per Americans per year than WW2. I guess WW2 wasn't a big deal then?

Both WW2 and Covid were/are acute threats that require an organized and dramatic response.

Also, we actually do respond to acute causes of heart disease and cancer. The US has made some pretty significant policy decisions in an attempt to curb the use of smoking for instance.
