The attitude of most people today seems to be 'get busy living or get busy dying' due to the uncertainty and constantly changing nature of the pandemic.
Getting vax'd and boosted, and wearing a mask vs. taking rapid tests don't prevent you from Stephen King's Shawshankian notion to "Get busy living." This week I had a lady over and we ate good food and shared a bottle of wine on my patio, I went cycling with two of my mates and wore masks only when we stopped and were in closer proximity, and I'm going on a road trip with friends next weekend where we'll take a rapid test before carpooling together. I want to have fun. I also don't want to kill anyone. Fun and taking precautions are compatible, like enjoying sex but wearing condoms with new partners, like climbing a mountain but wearing a harness and safety rope when exposure would mean death and I'm a parent.
