Overwhelming odds are that if you didn’t get vaccinated you’re still alive, because the virus is only particularly lethal to folks who have complicating conditions. Nevermind Long Covid. Nevermind complications that the disease will create for you in your next illness. The only thing we seem to care about is the Alive/Dead binary.
