I do think people are exaggerating a lot, and fear has been huge.
I have caught COVID more than once and have been fine, however, I have lost loved ones due to it.
Also lost friends who literally called me an idiot for saying they died from COVID and that the virus doesn't exist.

I still think getting vaccinated is best, but there's not much reason to be as afraid anymore. We have lots more data than we had in 2020 and Omicron, despite being more infectious, is a lot easier to treat and kills a lot less... I just wish it had been Omicron that my uncle had caught, not Delta.
I'm waiting for my third shot, I'm not betting on my life because of politics, and it's insane seeing parents throw their kids into this and not giving them shots despite them being vulnerable. Deaths have gone up in my state because of this mass anti-vax hysteria.
