2 out of 8 billion. I am so scared! ;) Call me again if we reach one in two and until then, I won't be bothered.
Corona, by the way, was about as dangerous for my age group as driving a car. That figure came from the government, so all hysteria was just nonsense.
I say, protect the old if they want it and let the rest live their lives as normal, which is what eventually sweden did, which was proven to be the right way. Not limiting peoples freedoms and becoming authoritarian.

Evidently neither did the antivaxxers.

Well, they did learn how to build up an authoritarian society and remove all freedoms, and unless the people wake up, it will be authoritarianism all the way.
Personally my wifes family were harassing me about the vaccines, but, one of their friends died due to the vaccine, and then I was transformed from villain to hero, and they stopped taking it. So that was a huge victory!
I also found some nice loop holes in the law that enabled me to travel mask free during all of corona, which was another win, and secretly many people came up to me asking how I did it.
So the positive is that it is possible to fight the good fight of freedom. So my advice to you is to seek help for your hypochondria, it lowers your quality of life. Trust me, there is nothing to be worried about, and the body takes care of 99% of all deseases itself.
