Indeed. I also thought the ad hominem at the end was uncalled-for and unnecessary.

I'm very glad for the vaccine, it allowed me to start acting a bit more like a human again.

But words like "overwhelming" and "fully preventable" are their own kind of evil. Even a risk reduction as high as 90% only means your previous risk is now a tenth of what it was, but not zero or anything close to it.

This means people should still be using other measures to stop the spread, and perhaps words like "overwhelming" and "fully preventable" are enabling cavalier behaviours that are detrimental. One might even go as far as saying that people who enable such detrimental behaviours are a menace to society?

See? It's quite easy to reverse the ad hominem. Best to leave it out of a conversation altogether.
