> the pandemic has been over for a while

The pandemic isn't actually over, at least, not for disabled people.

I don't want to sound heartless, especially as I'm in the high-risk category myself, but I think it's important to recognise that while COVID hasn't gone away, it is no longer a pandemic.

It is now endemic instead, and needs to be managed as such.

It is absolutely over by any sane definition of “pandemic”. Covid persists, but the pandemic is over.
