I think parent is pointing out that you're being dishonest and therefore your credibility is in question. That does add value.

You have no point if you have to make things up to make it.

You want controls for ethnicity, but cite a Swedish public health report.

You realize the impact in the US is dramatically greater amongst the black and brown population?

Possibly due to: the higher likelihood of being in essential jobs in areas with greater population density than Sweden.

Or, you need ethnicity controls because, eugenics?

You're super confident of your number stats while this disease is still not clearly understood.

You should see that as a problem.

To clarify, your original argument was made in bad faith. You don't like sacrificing for the greater good, so you'll make arguments to appear substantive, but really, you want to 'mingle'.
