I don't really have a strong opinion, other than I do think the response to it is disproportionate. But to answer your question directly, I don't know a single person who has gotten sick, or even a friend of a friend. Although I follow a few people online who did get sick, and my sister is a nurse so knows of cases in the hospital. But she tells me that the facts on the ground, like reports that the ICU was overwhelmed with cases is misleading at best. That because of budgetary measures the ICU always runs at close to max capacity and it doesn't take much of a bump at all to fill it up. Also, we had other cities around us transfer their overflow to use up our extra capacity.

Anyway, the point wasn't really Covid in particular, just that it's a contemporary example where most of us believe something that might very well turn out to not be an accurate appraisal with 50 years time in the rear view mirror. Most of us just take what we're told on faith, and have no direct way to verify that it is the whole truth. That is the lesson from all the cases of scientific corruption listed above.
