Good friend of mine is now healthier than 2020, clearly covid magically also made him lose weight...

Good friend of mine had influenza and is still coughing. Whats your point?

Influenza vaccines are offered yearly in many developed countries. Also your friend could have had influenza yesterday for all we know, at least the person you replied to mentioned a time period for their friend's infection.

Of my neighbours, colleagues and family, those that took the vaccine are those that are also getting ill with covid over, and over again.

You live in a country with a ~90% vaccination rate. Of course you see more vaccinated than unvaccinated get sick. How many of the people you are noticing getting Covid are dying between the two groups? How many of the unvaccinated are avoiding the vaccine for real or perceived health complications and have adjusted their behavior to avoid unnecessary exposure?

> ~90% vaccination rate

And all deaths within 28 days of a positive test are 'covid deaths', even if they got run over by a bus or actually died of cancer.
