Michael,
..Alternately, maybe it's just me and my life has been severely affected by the coronavirus..
Both yes and no.
A lot of people have been severely effected. So you are not alone; though it may feel that way at times.
I don't think people are trying to make money out of this. But point is reached where the economy gets into serious trouble and can't recover. That means that thousands will be out of work and can't support themselves. The machine will stop.
So, when there has been time for the vast majority to get inoculated, things have to start reopening. There will be a residue of people who wont get the jabs, that is their problem. And there will be some who can't get it. They will have to be careful.
But I disagree with all this 'my rights' stuff.
I have been fully inoculated. I can still catch the virus and pass it on. But it won't kill me. Anyone who catches it from me and hasn't been jabbed can die.
It is an inconvenience wearing a mask in shops or on transport. But that's all it is. And should I sneeze, even caused by ,say, dust, I wont be spraying viri all over the place.
It's all about protecting others from me.
We in the UK are still having an average of over 100 people per day dying. And we have over 80% inoculated.
Anything we can do to keep people out of hospital has to be a good thing.
It's everyone's moral duty to protect others where one can.
Whoever told you you can't die after being vaccinated lied to you. NBC Nightly news reported that out of 25,000 people who were fully vaccinated, 1400 died after contracting the variant.
