This is the reason I am still wearing a mask.

I think it's important to follow the science, but acknowledge the differences between consequences one way or another.

It's a fact liberals have overestimated the danger of Covid and continue to do so, but so what really. The consequences of overestimating the dangers are that less people get sick and die. So I see people on DU worrying about cases and hospitalizations rising slightly the last month, but I want to remind them that this rise is almost entirely made up of unvaccinated idiots. Covid is almost no threat to the fully vaxxed and boosted right now.

Cons have underestimated the danger of Covid and continue to do so, the consequences have been that millions have died and continue to die.

But to your point, if you're full vaxxed and boosted, Covid is not dangerous for you. It's statistically less dangerous to you than the flu, both in terms of chances of being hospitalized, dying, or having long term effects at least for right now. As far as the immune compromised, hopefully they can still get vaccinated and get some protection that way, but I don't think the entire country wears masks during the flu season to protect those people.

Again, according to the CDC right now, unvaccinated people are 97 times more likely to die from Covid than boosted people. Get boosted! Boosted people are simply not dying of Covid in numbers significant enough to be noteworthy, it's a few a day in a country of 330 Million.
