Which makes perfect sense (to me, anyway), since the people at risk of hospitalization/death (elderly, obese, immuno-compromised) are nearly all vaccinated for that very reason.

As Robbins observes in the interview, people believe what they want to believe. If you believe that your COVID was more mild because you had the vax, fine. If you believe the COVID strains have gotten less lethal/virulent, and has little to do with vax, or perhaps because you already had COVID, OK. All are possible, and none are provable.

Maybe we have a lower death rate despite having plenty of COVID out there now because we have fewer high risk people around than 3 years ago and/or because most everyone has already had it?
