As for real life risks to me,

Ive had my first dose and should now be reaching the max protection that provides, and i expect you are closer to your second dose.
Am i going to have contact with anyone who will be at this weekends events, highly doubtful.
Has there been a seriously resistant mutation as yet? Never say never, but not so far?
Is the vaccine cutting down transmission? The rumours abound that it does, but nothing confirmed.

So let them get on with it, let Nic learn from previous mistakes and start removing the cotton wool!
Ok you'r education taught you to know better than the experts I really should have knew that and there advice that mass partys are not clever are false and you are right.I am really not qualified like you'rself to ignore the experts advice.Like with all the nonsense about teachers should be at front of queue before anyone else because you were just worried about yourself again you think zombie mass party is ok because you are not going to meet any of the people who may spread this new indian variant because of it and you have now had you'r jab so if others catch it and die or get long covid you'r not too bothered yeah I should have also realised that.Yeah I must be getting near my second jab but I don't just care about me I have family and friends who have not had jab plus there are millions of other who could be affected.
