If you were involved in preparations like this in Spring 2020, you should talk about it openly now.
If you worked in hospitals during the peaks you should tell your stories.
#WeWillRemember
If you worked in care homes where a quarter of the residents died in a week.
#WeWillRemember
If you have a story to tell, you should tell it, otherwise we will be condemned to forget.
#WeWillRemember
You may not think you have the words, but just do what you can.
#WeWillRemember
You may think no one wants to know. That doesn't matter, we need to make a record. We need to lay down a marker.
#WeWillRemember
If you have a story to tell, tag me, and I'll retweet ❤️

So the upshot is:

If you've had Covid, you should be more keen to avoid any infections now, not less, because your immune system may be damaged.
If your immune system has been damaged you may pick up more viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, and the effects of those infections may be more severe.
Even the people who thought they could vax and relax.

About two years ago, I wrote a short thread about my understanding of the mental process by which some people who had caught Covid might subconsciously want to make sure that everyone ended up infected, in the same boat as them.
Nothing that has happened in the last two years has made me change my understanding of that process.
But I have been surprised how widespread it is.

In the UK, there has not been a time in the last year when fewer than about 1 in 75 people has had Covid.
For vulnerable people, that is a constant unending unrelenting threat.
Everywhere they go.
Every hospital.
Every school.
Every shop.
Every café.
Every public toilet.
Constant unending unrelenting threat

Guess what I did to this tweet/tweeter 😁 troll
The trolls will try to get to you in any way possible.
Shame, fear, peer pressure, ridicule, anger, confusion.
They'll try to waste your time.
Distract you.
Sap your energy.
Sap your enthusiasm.

I think it's a good principle to properly admit when you've got things wrong, so:
I haven't properly appreciated the concerns and stories of people who have had issues post-vaccination.
I'm sorry for the times I have not listened to you, and I'm sorry for how that will have made you feel.
I'm especially sorry if I've ever wrongly dismissed you.
I'm looking forward to getting better informed.
For the removal of uncertainty:
My understanding is that for the vast majority of people the vaccines are very safe.
And Covid is far far far more dangerous than the vaccines.
I am in full favour of vaccinations.
I am in full opposition to Covid.

When I was struggling with mental health issues, it struck me that it's like this:

You're sitting there on the beach, exhausted, looking up at the mountain from sea level.
Someone strolls up and asks "Can you climb up the mountain today?"

You say no.
"Can't you even manage a small hill?"

And you can't even manage that.

And they think you're not putting any effort in.
