The question is which had a bigger global impact, not which was worse. There can definitely be debate about that, and it will take several more years to fully understand. However, I really doubt redditors are thinking that hard about it.
In that case it could be argued that 9/11 had more impact, but it’s kinda false since 9/11 was also but a symptom and symbol. So the ultimate answer would be as usual: capitalism (specifically Usian imperialism) - hell it’s an answer for both, since if entire world implemented Chinese solution covid would be long forgotten footnote.
