> To be fair, you are stigmatizing someone for offering a correct observation (that the successive COVID variants have proven less debilitating and deadly) and for asking a question that must be on many people’s minds: can monoclonal antibody administration promote resistance analogous to bacterial antibiotic resistance?
No, I am singling out another comment which spreads doubts and denial by hiding them among good faith arguments. For instance:
> (that the successive COVID variants have proven less debilitating and deadly)
Doesn't mean it's not debilitating and deadly.
> basically everyone I know has been infected now.
And I haven't and neither my best friend nor my parents did. But my brother did and another friend did. Guess which one is complaining 6 months later of symptoms that are not going away ?

I believe Covid was and is still dangerous and not to be taken lightly because "most people I know has been infected and successive strains are less deadly" (the last one being also dodgy since it might as well be less deadly for an individual but more deadly for a population if it infects much more people, anyway...). That's as worthy to discuss as the core of the submission is.
