I feel like you haven’t thought this through. My cousin is young so he has very low risk of having serious side effects from his COVID. The thing is we had elderly grandparents at Christmas as well, one of which with stage 4 cancer.

There is a point to testing for COVID. If we don’t test for it we have no idea how much it is spreading.

I used to get the flu once every 10 years, roughly. I’ve been getting COVID nearly every single winter.

There are relatively young people who are completely bedridden from long COVID. I’ve never heard of someone having years of their lives taken from them because of the flu.

Ever since I first got COVID I have had a irregular heartbeats and periods of extremely low energy

I find it funny you’re creating a false dichotomy of either locking people in their homes for eternity or being free. We all had a chance to stop this in its tracks, nearly everyone around me was completely unable to sacrifice one summer of vacations. I know people who literally went on vacation knowing they had COVID, breaking state laws in the process.

If you didn’t lose anybody to COVID that’s great for you, but a lot of us did.

A lot of people believed our president at the time who said that it was nothing more than the flu, similar to what you are saying today.

I believe there should be legal repercussions for those who have spread that misinformation, leading to needless death
