Wonder if they still think its not a big deal after they get long covid and can no longer walk up a flight of stairs without gasping for breath.

Covid has legitimately been a good thing for the global conversation regarding individualism. ChristianS wrote a good post previously that I will put here:
I think the “Western dogma” we’re getting at is the harm principle, usually stated as some version of “everyone should be able to do what they want unless it harms someone else.” There’s a sort of libertarian economist-type philosophy wherein everybody should be able to do whatever they want, and the government should just calculate the externality generated by each person’s actions and tax/fine them appropriately. “Garnish the unvaccinated’s wages “ sounds like a version of that, which is actually extremely compatible with the harm principle-based “Western dogma.”
The widely-acknowledged problem with the harm principle, practically speaking, is that everybody is constantly causing various harms to others that are essentially impossible to enumerate, let alone quantify and convert to a dollar figure to be fined or taxed. The less-talked-about problem is that the harm principle doesn’t account for politics; the obvious solution in this framework to carbon emissions, for instance, is a carbon tax. But carbon taxes are generally extremely unpopular, so democratic governments can’t really tax carbon as much as the externalities would dictate.
Putting aside policy for a moment, I agree with the idea that individualism as an ethic has gotten way out of hand, and that’s made us peculiarly ill-suited to addressing the pandemic, or climate change, or any of the other big issues threatening massive human cost up up and including societal collapse. When the facts indicate we must all make difficult sacrifices for the common good, people simply choose to ignore or disbelieve those facts. But fantasizing about seizing authoritarian control and forcing everyone to do what you think they should do strikes me as, at best, unhelpful escapism. The “at worst” scenarios for that kind of talk are pretty graphic, and probably don’t require elaboration at present.
I think he is right that my grand ideas of authoritarianism are not achievable right now. Since I legitimately want to move in that direction, I don't label it as escapism, but I understand the label. I also think he is being a bit dramatic (as if I am one to talk, I'm exclusively dramatic) since I only really want this for matters of infection, but he's mostly right.
Overall I think ChristianS did a great job summarizing the extent to which humanity is suffering from individualism. We can do better. We can make adjustments and we have a moral obligation to do so.

can you elaborate on: - their post-infection immunity is statistically less effective than vaccinated immunity - reduction in covid resistance over time 'cause from what i read, that's some bullshit right there.
Edit: having antibodies active is not immunity per se.

As a Dane I would like one other reason why we been more successful then most. We have a high degree of social security, and we did expend that to many industries so people could actually stay home and make save choices. Not forcing sick people to work to put meat on the table and being disgruntled by the unfortunate situation and making much less opposition to the restrictions enforcement and easier to follow guidelines made by government.

It is a bizarre situation. They are even developing their own routines to use it as prevention. They are all clearly terrified of covid in some ways to the point where they are seeking other solutions. But they won't get vaccinated and they won't wear masks. It is such a deep cultural issue.

hard to say but I think the former is worse because it shows a lack of logical reasoning altogether whereas the latter shows merely a lack of critical thinking.
