As someone who is still waiting on his second shot because I had no option to get it earlier, this _really_ worries me. It's especially hard to still be extremely careful when most people around are basically back to their normal life.

Yeah, I'd gotten my first Moderna, Mar 9th. But followed the literature from NEJM, Lancet, U.Penn, BJM for folks who'd had mild D.614G variant Mar '20, delaying my second, awaiting mRNA targetd booster (spike-protein, IgG, etc tests all positive). Inflammatory side-effects had been worse, than the pro-inflammatory cytokine "hijacking" during the actual infection & diagnosis/ imaging of damage has been so cursory, I'd followed Italy, Germany, Israel & Spain; awaiting new vaccines by summer's end?

The person in the article is described as "a super-fit 54-year-old", but in the pictures it seems that they are overweight at the very least. Here is a clearer picture:

not only are they overweight, but I don't know what they are doing at the gym because it isn't bicep curls.

I believe they are two different people. The "super-fit" individual isn't pictured.

I know some people whose hubris reached such heights during the pandemic, they believed themselves to somehow be immune to the virus, and boasted about how they never follow any of the best practices or would ever get a vaccine, while denigrating those who were afraid. Eventually some of them caught a crippling case of COVID that may have nearly cost them their lives or perhaps worsened its quality permanently. What did I say? Good.

Wanting bad things to happen to people is almost never a good thing.

Also, as one of those aforementioned people, I'm not taking any vaccine because I am at the age to have children, and I don't trust the vaccine to not screw that up.

Don't blame hypothetical children.

I'm not blaming them. It's an important consideration for me to have children.

Also, I'm going to wait until at least the FDA puts the vaccines through the ringer and approves them for general use.

A lot of the "patients" in the recent UK propaganda push for the jab have been discovered to be actors and not real patients.

I definitely saw that nurse that lied about the pediatric ward being full of children sick with covid. Reported everywhere, even HN, like suddenly it was a fact that it was normal for children to get severely sick and hospitalized

Your baseless assertion sounds outright lunatic. Do you have any source at all to back your claim?

Quite a bold claim.
