Without saying “endemic” or “but it’s mild now” explain how this is “post-Covid” or in any way acceptable.

It feels like a health supremacy test that in order to get the Covid vax in the States, you have to admit you’re high risk for Covid complications (which everyone who’s had at least one infection definitely is). So, if you can’t admit you’re high risk, you won’t get vaccinated, which puts you in anti-vax territory. Maybe you’re not really anti-vax, but to admit Covid is a problem is to acknowledge your role in its continued spread and mutation, which is why we need frequent updated vaccines.
