I think that's a totally valid opinion. The advantage to people is that they can more flexible. The disadvantage to people is that they can be more irrational.

If zero-covid doesn't work, then necessary immunization levels can't be reached. It's endemic. Everyone will get it at one point or another. It's now just a risk management question for individuals
