yeah, like everyone I know is coming down with this ish.
if you're "actively" vaccinated, you're basically immune from developing symptoms (the "breakthrough" cases in my life seem to have a confounding factor that impaired the ability of the vaccine to work, e.g. a compromised immune system or a number of months since being fully vaccinated).
I’m trying to think of a more fitting double definition of First World Problems than, “I don’t get to go to Turks and Caicos - and I can’t run my half marathon, to boot!”

My brother's super spreader Christmas event has now given Covid to his wife, two of his kids, one nephew, and our parents. One DIL and grandbaby so far unaffected or just asymptomatic. All are vaccinated and boosted. All have experienced mild symptoms and most are already over it.
Right. A group of people that won't mask, won't get vaccinated, is already not going to take care of their own health, and you think your idea about fatties being less fat is in any way a viable option for fighting this pandemic.
I think his idea is protect those most vulnerable (olds and fatties, etc), and let everybody else live their lives. Some have been saying that all along and I think that as more time goes on, and especially as it becomes established that Omicron may be exactly what we want/need, this is going to be the course of action for the future.
This has always been a tug of war between those debating how deadly does a disease need to be to (significantly) alter the course of our daily lives.
He doesn't care about olds and fatties. They are on their own because they should have taken better care of themselves. Also, if they are compromised they can be shut ins and the rest of the world can move on without them.
His life should not be impacted. That's it. That's his point. It's also why we're two years in. People that could not be bothered to be inconvenienced in the beginning of all this for the good of society at large.

Hospitals continue to overflow with unvaccinated people, that’s the problem, the end.
