And the medicine is for common cold
No we don’t see, because that isn’t whataboutism.
Whataboutism would be saying that even though your medicine killed 30 people, your competitors medicine killed 50 people so yours isn’t that bad.

it depends on what your baseline is, in other words what do you consider the case of “no treatment at all”
like you argue that some political system killed so and so many people so the system is bad; compared to the baseline of no political system at all.
the question is whether that’s a meaningful baseline. like, what does “no political system” actually mean? is there even such a thing as “no political system”? some would argue that everything is political, therefore there cannot be a society without politics.
and then there is the question, if you say that there definitely is a hypothetical society without a political system, why have we never seen one? where is the real-world example?
