I previously thought that Covid had been dropped by everyone as something relevant. But apparently, I was wrong, as I got one family member talking about how "the new variant is out there" and "we just don't know how that will affect things."

I said nothing. Because there is no point trying to save someone that deep. If they are boosted (a pretty safe bet), then we will see if they are doomed. I don't think everyone who took the vaxx is necessarily doomed, but I sure as shit won't take it.
