Honestly as a zoomer its not hard to come to this conclusion. I got vaccinated and am happy for it. But looking bad it really was not a bad disease. I had it and it was basically just a cold and so did most people i know. Ive heard some people have long term symptoms but i doubt theyre the majority. most people were just under the weather for a while and thats the main reason it spread so much for so long. Weak diseases spread through a population slowly because they arent killing people and most people with the disease will be asymptomatic for atleast a little while. Sure some really deadly diseases like HIV also spread for the same reasons but theyre slow killing, unlike SARs or Ebola which were comparatively very small epidemics.
I want to be empathetic to people who are immunocompromised but once we go past the peak of the pandemic is really felt like the whole "wear a mask for the immunocompromised" movement became "we always wanted you to wear masks around us but now we have a justification to tell you to". I mean legitimately what made covid different from a bad flu season? Immunocompromised people were already at risk before this and they will remain highly at risk for centuries to come, thats basically the definition of immunocompromised
In the end i think that the pandemic just hurt people far more than it needed to. I dont want to be selfish sounding but the education of millions of children and teens was far far more important. I dont want to be like "these people were going to die anyways" but like.. they were. Yes covid made them worse, but still almost all people who died of covid were very unhealthy to begin with and a lot of them wouldve only been alive for a few more years and get killed by something else
Our future depends on making sure kids get quality education and a well rounded social life, it matters more that little kids learn to read and doctors can properly diagnose than elderly people living a few more years in retirement.
