3. InB4 Long Covid comments

This pandemic is not over, but it has definitely changed, the disease is no longer as dangerous, that's just a fact. And we are better at treating it and now have better options to treat it.

Long Covid is not fully understood, but there is some data on it:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/long-term-effects/index.html

Estimates of the proportion of people who had COVID-19 that go on to experience post-COVID conditions can vary:

13.3% at one month or longer after infection
2.5% at three months or longer, based on self-reporting
More than 30% at 6 months among patients who were hospitalized

And the vast majority of long Covid cases eventually resolve themselves. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent long Covid. And yes, Long Flu exists too, but not as often as Long Covid does. I think we need to learn more about Long Covid, but if you didn't get severe Covid, the risks seem pretty mild.
