I think my bona fides speak for themselves, but the fact is I was conflicted about having the party. This was no raucous college frat party - we had maybe 10 people over - but this was the first time I've had multiple people over indoors since Covid.
But we're quickly coming to the point where anyone who wants to be vaccinated and can be is (and in MA we have very high rates!), and there is low enough community spread that the high risk/immunocompromised aren't at a particularly high relative risk because of my dumb little gathering. The two adults that came over and aren't vaccinated are just that... adults... that are making a stupid decision, but one that they'll have to live with and not me. The rest of us are vaccinated and mostly boosted, so my personal risk is quite low.
I just don't think you have anything to apologize for or even reference it as a dumb little gathering. It's been two years and you're vaccinated. You have done your part and are more than deserving of hosting a small gathering like you've described. Don't let anyone yell you otherwise. I have gone to a few sporting events in the past year and wore a mask at the indoor ones. I suppose I might be a little anxious going to the Frozen Four this year as I haven't been to an indoor event of that size. But in the end I am vaccinated/boosted and am looking forward to it. Going with a buddy who I haven't seen in quite some time. Everyone is deserving of that and shouldn't be shamed for it.

That's. Not. How. Medicine. Works.
Lol. And you think I care at this point? You can shame the guy for having 10 people over. And then run that through your head again. If you still see a problem with it, seek help.

Who here was shaming him/her (I'm too lazy to look up who the original poster was)? If anything, their concern was not about how anyone here would react, but more a comment on their own worries given how the last couple years have gone, since most posters on this thread seem to be people inclined to play it safe. Ymmv.
Certainly if the poster is vaxxed and boosted and has been careful, and knows all/most of their guests have been and done so too, that increases their odds of everything going fine. And with omicron being more mild, and with additional treatments coming about, that also increases their odds of everything going fine. And of course a smaller gathering rather than a large gathering increases the odds of everything going fine. Nothing is bullet-proof, nothing is guaranteed to make you catch it, it's all a game of odds and I am willing to bet the original poster has done what is necessary to put the odds well enough in their favor.
You know what doesn't affect the odds at all? Feeling you "deserve" something.
I apologize. I'll stay secluded for another two years. Or better yet, I will just ask the intelligent people on here what is acceptable.

I want to emphasize how little of a shit anyone here gives over what you personally do.

That is absolutely devastating to me. I mean I know all of you are the bestest of friends.

"I don't care what you guys think", says guy who spent the last 2 pages trying to paint himself as the victim of what we think.
Before I do that please just remind me...what is the acceptable opinion on COVID to be allowed to post in this prestigious thread?
Quite common around here

You are the ONLY one who is making any deal about it. And then because you are the only one, you seem to think you are some kind of hero.
Unless someone eventually "calls him out" on it.
Just like at the beginning of this whole pandemic, the only people who were being hyper sensitive were the ones claiming that everyone was hyper-senstive.
Good luck with that.

Canceled that everyone is not really reacting to you? Keep pretending you are a target, eventually something will hit you if you make yourself big enough.
