That depends on the person, and vaccination/previous natural infection status. My 89 year old grandpa has tested positive twice, no symptoms. My J&J vaccine was significantly worse than the two later infections (one 6 months after vaccine, before boosters were available, one a few weeks ago, no boosters). Both were like a mild, longer, cold, with some extra muscle aches and fatigue.

Yup, so since it kills some people and is a really terrible illness for others, those who like you who had it easy need to be a little more considerate in how you talk about it. Just because it was "like a cold" to you doesn't mean we shouldn't care about it.
I am double vaccinated (Astra-Zenaca) and have had a single booster (Moderna).
I was on the floor in the foetal position at my worst, while my spouse just had a cough and very bad headaches.

Stating a fact that it depends on the person, and giving my experience, just as you did, doesn’t mean I’m being inconsiderate or don’t care about it. I don’t understand how you could have come to that completely irrational, ridiculous, conclusion. I have family members who are unable to get vaccinated. I worry about them every day. Touch grass.
