The lockdowns made it worse, I'm convinced of that. Healthy people staying indoors for months, not allowed to go to the gym, gaining weight and damaging their immune system and mental health.

Lockdown didn't always mean stay inside. Eg. In Belgium you were free to run, walk, sport everywhere outdoors. People bought a lot of homegym machines too. Additionally, the self-claimed strongest man of Belgium just died of delta because he was also in denial out COVID. Yeah, he was in the ICU but wanted to be released since he could handle it... Died within 3 weeks before a fight ( match) Ps. Yes, his wife even said it's not COVID but just his lungs "suddenly".

  My uncle keeps playing the lotto 6/49 because he hears about people winning all the time. He has a hard time grasping how large, a large number is. So one time I found a site, where he could punch in any numbers to check if they ever won before in the decades proceeding. He sat there for an hour checking, getting more and more frustrated, and he couldn't do it. Odds of winning are approximately 1 in 14 million. Population of Belgium 12 million. Strongest man in Belgium one in 12 million. It would take you about half a year to count up to 12 million. And even than, the strongest man was probably a very large man who abused steroids. At that size, size is probably inversely related to life expectancy. So I wouldn't make too much of the apparent risk, based on that one individual.

    You're again misunderstanding the core issue. Are you trolling? Just in case, the core issue is that healthy people aren't immune to COVID-19 ( and mostly delta), even if they/you would like to think that. You should really look into the basics of why COVID is dangerous. It's your immune system having a too strong reaction to a new virus and damaging itselves and the lungs severely, even until death.

You being convinced of something isn't really an argument.
