> reducing a minuscule risk
Official stats say COVID killed a million people in US alone and 6 million globally. Thats more than Ebola, more than tuberculosis.
War in Ukraine killed far less, is it miniscule?
Furthermore, we still have people getting repeat infections - and full extent of damage is unknown, but its not pretty. Its quite clear that covid is close to tuberculosis than it is to ordinary flu
