Good to hear that things are improving.

I'm sticking with a mask, social distancing, and wfh nonetheless. None of it is particularly bothersome, and all do some good.
The 7-day average deaths are only decreasing slightly. And this continues to be a pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Seems odd that I know multiple people who 1) got covid, 2) got vaccinated, 3) got covid again. I also know multiple people who developed heart issues within weeks of getting vaccinated or booster shots - more than the number of people I know who died from it. When checking with friends and family, some have similar experiences, while some know more who died or had sever impacts.

How do you propose that I explain to others that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated or that the vaccine is worthwhile, given that people tend to trust acquaintences and personal experience over published studies, especially in this day when there are examples like Purdue Pharma and others that show profit motives can skew science and regulators?
