I think that full vaccination and reasonable measures for masks/social-distancing are still the best approach for trying to halt the spread/damage of covid.

Realistically, I can't argue with your point. It's like giving up. It's sad that many people won't take basic steps to help protect others (including themselves), but I guess that's a reality-check.

Those who are older, with multiple comorbidities, or are immune-compromised, listen-up: More than enough people don't a shit if anyone other than themselves lives or dies that you should probably just isolate yourselves from society indefinitely.

All the more reason to strongly urge people to get vaccinated. Clearly one can't count on neighbors, the community or broader society to take minimumal steps to help protect themselves and others.

So you're on your own, living life at your own risk. There is no "society", just you. Protect yourself and get the shots.
