Well presumably there was more social distancing and distance learning in the previous year, for obvious reasons.

Fundamentally wrong, borderline insane, conculsion. Now the virus has become entirely endemic, and antibodies are widely spread in the population it should be treated just as previous sars, flu or rhino viruses. I.e. we ignore them in day to day life.
Data from one study shows that of more than 3,000 adults ages 18 to 34 who contracted COVID-19 and became sick enough to require hospital care, 21% ended up in intensive care, 10% were placed on a breathing machine and 2.7% died.

"Overall, 1187 (36.8%) had obesity, 789 (24.5%) morbid obesity, 588 (18.2%) diabetes, and 519 (16.1%) hypertension"
"Morbid obesity, hypertension, and diabetes were common and associated with greater risks of adverse events. Young adults with more than 1 of these conditions faced risks comparable with those observed in middle-aged adults without them."
It might be an idiotic question and I'm not trying to offend anyone, but about 42% US citizens are obese, could it be the reason why the US has so many deceased and patients in intensive care ?

Here's some articles on side effects. From what I can gather we're talking about orders of magnitude more risk associated wth not getting the vaccine.
