As you have such a lenghthy history of failing to comprehend and understand my posts let me help you.
Notice I said "covid is 'now'"? Now modifies the sentence to indicate I am not talking about the duration but where we are at this present moment, where those unvaccinated are having it harder than those vaccnated.
And do you know why your own personal anecdote cannot be said to account for general trends?

Well only if you don't care about getting your point across. You might want to remember that many of us don't live in the U.S.

If there haven't been any new ones in California, where Newsome defeated a recall election by an overwhelming landslide, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

I asked if you understand why it doesn't. I never said you did say it does.
But thanks anyways. I didn't realize you'd be further proving my point and misreading (unless you've been deliberately misrepresenting) my post and yet once again say I said something I never did.

Lol. I never implied it did matter. You brought it up as if I thought it mattered. Sure thing. Go take a valium

That was Trump's claim. I never saw professionals make that claim. As to the rest you need to be able to support it. The experts were advocating for the vaccine because they worked, but I did not see them predicting an end. That was wishful thinking by the average person.

He has a strange belief that the "deep state" will order covid vaccines. Certain jobs have always required vaccines of their employees. If one works at a nursing home one has to be vaccinated. That is for the protection of the residents.
Consider yourself lucky. My unvaccinated mother nearly died she was so ill. Had to be hospitalized and put on oxygen (monoclonal antibodies likely saved her life). 70 years old but otherwise healthy. That was the delta variant though, a much more severe strain than the ones going around now.

No. There is no time will tell. We've had seasonal outbreaks already with no restrictions or lockdowns, just the advice that it's smart to wear a mask when there is a flair up in your community.

My mom and I weren't sure if she was going to make it when she got it after I brought it home.
Even when it doesn't kill you it can be a wicked, nasty illness.

It makes sense that different variants will have different degrees of severity. I thought that the Alpha variant was the worst, that was what I had before vaccines came out. But I see from Googling that the Delta variant is the current king and the Lambda variant is also said to be more deadly than Alpha:
So many variants. We’re breaking them down
What you need to know about the different strains of COVID-19. Which variant is worst?
At least I can brag about getting over the Alpha variant without being vaccinated. Though I have been vaccinated since and plan for a booster this fall.

Thanks and sorry it hit your mother hard.
Is it really luck? Or is it covid hits some harder than it hits others for genetic, health, or some other reasons.

It is pretty hard for a person to control ones genetics or ones age. So it is luck in that sense. Since it is a respiratory disease smoking can greatly reduce one's survival rate. The co-worker of mine that got covid at the same time I did was a smoker. That may have been a deciding factor.
It certainly hits some populations harder as a generality (like unvaccinated people), but narrowing that prediction down to the individual level is quite a challenge. Call it luck, or variability, or whatever other semantics you want.
