Covid-19
I trust that all the naysayers, anti-vaxers, etc., who trivialise Covid-19 are cognisant of Derek Draper's experiences.

I beg to differ.
The OP has specifically mentioned Covid and has cited the example of somebody who has unfortunately seen serious and tragic consequences from contracting it. He then went on to use that example to denigrate "all the naysayers, anti-vaxers, etc., who trivialise Covid-19".
I have tried to explain that Covid is little different to other illnesses in that occasionally those contracting them can suffer serious and long-lasting consequences.
How did Covid become so divisive? What happened to people being able to have their own views?
I have my views on it and how I handle it, but I respect the fact that others have their views too which are equally as valid. I have had all the vacs, I had Covid and it wiped me out for about 4 days and was no worse than a dose of flu - however, I also lost a good mate to covid. I do not know whether it might have been worse had I not been vacinated or whether the vac had no effect. That is the issue, there is so much that is not known.
My adopted granddaughter and me share the same birthday. This year I was 70 and she was 7. Plans were made for a party...I got covid 2 days before our party. I was mildly ill for 3 days, my partner for 3 weeks. A friends daughter has long covid and suffers from micro blood clots on her lungs. She's still suffering 18 months later.
