Covid isn't remotely like police shootings. We have about a thousand fatal police shootings in the US per year, mostly of armed men. Over a million people died in the first two years of Covid in the US alone. More than we lost in WWII and the Civil War combined. It's like comparing police shootings to deaths in trampoline accidents.

Also, I did have Omicron, after getting vaccinated (for Delta, months prior), and it absolutely was a big deal, even though I'm neither old nor obese. I was as sick as I've ever been in my life, and it lasted forever. It was worse than any time I've had pneumonia.
Because as sick as I was, I still missed the worst symptoms: I kept my senses of smell and taste, I didn't have chest pain, I didn't have oxygen deprivation so I didn't need an inhaler or nebulizer (which I did need when I had pneumonia), my skin never turned blue, and I suffered no noticeable permanent damage afterwards. I had huge fatigue, an endless and unquenchable thirst, chills, fever, soreness, congestion, and it lasted forever (longer than any time I've had pneumonia), but I was still able to handle it by staying home. Which was good, because it's not like the hospital could do much for me, nor did they need to waste their time with someone who could get better on his own.
Second time, when I wasn't up to date on vaccination, I ended up with all those symptoms again, plus a compromise to my sense of taste. Everything tasted spoiled. But thankfully, it lasted a lot shorter. I also gave it to my whole family, but they were all either up to date with their vaccinations or immunised by having too recent a case, so they all barely had any symptoms. Had it again early this winter, when I also hadn't been up to date on my vaccination, and I wasn't as sick as either the first or second time, but it lasted even longer than the first, so I got an inhaler and a humidifier to help with the linger.
OK, you do realise that you are supposed to be defending the vaccines right? This is literally what I mean when I say these vaccines don't work very well. Though I said it flippantly, it genuinely does sound like your immune system is bad. From one human to another: for a blood test for vitamin D and supplement if necessary, take regular walks, make sure to get exposure to sunlight especially in winter, and try to remove stressful things from your life.
By the way, I am not vaccinated and I think I had Covid twice (don't really know because I never too a test). The first time (probably Delta) was nothing. The second time I took a day off work because my wife said I should. Covid is not an important problem at all.
A bunch of old sick people died. Probably made the country better. Defiantly not worth masking kids. The cost/benefit ratio of COVID policy was awful.
I had Omicron too. It felt like a bad flu, and the disease didn't feel much worse then getting the vaccine (which made me and my wife very sick, everyone seems to gloss over the fact that its the only vaccine I've ever taken that made me extremely ill).
I've often found myself wondering what a national leader of 50 years ago would have said has an aide come to his office and described this new Covid pandemic:
"So, basically, a lot of people who would have 'lived' to 84 requiring constant medical interventions are actually going to die at 82"
Vaccine reactions vary. I had a day’s hangover. Immune responses also differ. Some people get nearly complete immunity, some get less.
The kicker is that Covid is of the same family of viruses as the common cold. Coronaviruses mutate constantly. We expect to catch colds each year.
This particular coronavirus was more deadly because it was novel, in a similar way that native Americans died in droves from European diseases like the common cold.
Vaccination gives us a base level of protection in general, just as flu vaccines do. The manufacturers target the strains they think most people will encounter.
"I was as sick as I've ever been in my life, and it lasted forever. It was worse than any time I've had pneumonia." And yet it doesn't occur to you that you got this sick BECAUSE of the vaccine? Or that in the least, the vaccine didn't work? I'm unvaccinated, I was exposed to covid for 2 weeks at home, never tested positive, and I have a chronic illness to boot.
See, your vaunted vaccine likely made you sicker with covid because the mRNA makes you TOLERANT to the spike protein, so you won't have a cytokine storm, but you can't kick the virus out properly either.
I just don't get the psychology of people who get this sick after a vaccine and think the vaccine still works. The vaccine is NOT WORKING. If it did work, you wouldn't be getting sick at all!

Bro, your vaccine isn't very good and you should take some vitamin D or something.
Because as sick as I was, I still missed the worst symptoms: I kept my senses of smell and taste, I didn't have chest pain, I didn't have oxygen deprivation so I didn't need an inhaler or nebulizer (which I did need when I had pneumonia), my skin never turned blue, and I suffered no noticeable permanent damage afterwards.

"OK, but what's the catch?"
Do you have any idea what it’s like to die from COVID? It’s not like a heart attack where you drop dead. It’s weeks of misery on a ventilator.
More people died from COVID in one year than in 50 years of polio and measles *combined.*

seems like the vaccine really... did its job?
