ELI5: How can a solar flare "destroy all electronics" but not kill people or animals or anything else?

You know how radio waves induce an electric current in wires which then makes the speaker emit sound? If you emit really powerful radio waves then the induced current becomes so high that the radio receiver gets fried. It works the same for all electronic devices because they have a lot of small wires and other conductors inside them. Humans and animals don’t, so strong radio waves and EM pulses do not affect us the same way.
