You state that there have been roughly 10K deaths due to Covid since 2020, or 0.15% of the population. You mention nothing regarding the comorbidities of those who died.
Go live in Sydney, let us Texans live our lives, instead of wringing our hands. I take my guidance from a nationally respected physician...when he gets jabbed, I'll think about it.
Direct evidence that Covid is not the crisis we should palpitate over comes from the White House: if it were so, tens of thousands of illegal aliens with Covid would NOT be bused to dozens of cities throughout the US.
Your handle indicates you're a lawyer who went to UT Dallas, which means you're fairly intelligent. Next time, try a dollop of common sense along with your posts.
Facts are facts that’s how science works. Do I want loxkdowns no, but they do work if you do them right. That’s just a fact. Texas also shows what happens when you vaccinate a significant portion of your population.

43 fully vaxed vs 8000+ unvaxed since February. Of those 75% were comorbidity risk group and 95% of them were over 60. So if you are under 60 and not a diabetic and vaccinated you have an effectively zero risk of death compared to a not zero risk for all ages in the unvaxed group.
Here is Texas vax penetration rate.
The 65 plus age cohort is above 70% vaccinated in Texas
https://usafacts.org/visualizations/covid-vaccine-tracker-states/state/texas
Texas has vaxed 578K 80 year old plus
2.2 million 65 to 79 and 3.2 million 50 to 64 year olds.
Out of that group of over 5.5 million people only 40 died since they were vaccinated from February onwards.
40 out of 5.5 million that’s 0.00065898%
A clearer picture of vaccine effectiveness could not be asked for. Compare that to the 8000+ unvaccinated deaths over the same timeframe Texas as a whole is 44% vaccinated for a 60/40 split if the vaccines didn’t work the deaths would also be a 60/40 split they are not even close and to say otherwise is an outright lie. The way out of this mess of a chicom bioweapon is the vaccines they work the numbers don’t lie internet blowhards do.
I’m not a lawyer I’m a triple master’s, PhD and multiple post doc level researcher and scientist. In 3 disciplines I do science professionally every day for a living politics has zero place in science. Lockdowns work that’s not debatable remove human to human contact an airborne virus dies out it’s that simple. Wreaking the world economy for that is foolish when effective vaccines are now widely available that cut the death rate and the total deaths to miniscule numbers for those vaccinated.
