If even remotely true, this is simply a statement about your economic standing and social circle.

Outside of work, most people I know work low wage service or gig jobs and they all got covid, most multiple times. Seven members of my church died of covid in the first 18 months.

Well i'm retired, and my brother is still a trucker. We're comfortable, but not rich.

I suspect the vaccine is to blame for the reinfections, and that years from now it will be confirmed that it had a negative effectiveness.

If even remotely true, that says a lot about their advanced age and comorbidities.
