It’s definitely mildly infuriating to know that our governments have all given up on doing anything about it
Over here in Germany covid vaccinations are now treated like flu vaccinations. Insurance covers the cost but it’s up to the people to make their own appointments at pharmacies or doctors. I have little empathy for people refusing to get boosters and then have to deal with consequences.
Boosters alone aren’t enough to prevent the spread, and people who don’t get the vaccine aren’t the only ones who are at risk of getting sick.

Of course not but they vastly reduce the risk of severe complications (I’m not up to date with the latest research but the figure I remember is >90%). Vaccinations boost the immune system, they aren’t impenetrable force fields.
and people who don’t get the vaccine aren’t the only ones who are at risk of getting sick.
For people suffering from more severe symptoms, there is now very good medication available to aid in recovery.
Mask requirements wherever possible. Especially in businesses where people don’t need to expose their mouths. There is no reason you couldn’t make everyone in a bookstore or on a bus mask up. In addition to mandatory vaccinations (barring legitimate health concerns like allergies) and limiting the amount of people in indoor spaces during high points in the viral spread.
