I think the reality at this point is that while Covid is certainly endemic and will be a permanent fixture of our lives, it is also in every way that matters, deterministically avoidable.
N95 respirators are cheaper than they’ve ever been ($25 for 50 Kimberly Clarke pouch style masks—I can switch out my single use masks daily)
It’s really not that hard to get boosted every 3-4 months if your D&D alignment is “neutral-good”. The only person stopping you from getting an extra booster right now is...you.
Labcorp is now offering spike antibody tests that go up to 25,000 u/mL. You can take a few, spaced a few months apart, to get a good sense of your half life. If you’re able to hold at, say, 7000 u/mL for 8 or 9 months, you’re probably all set for a couple years.
Rapid tests are easier to get
Higher levels of population immunity
Heterologous immunity, from vaccines against other diseases, is a thing

Basically, I’m living my best life at this point.
