If seeing people face to face at the office is beneficial to you go for it.
It is often beneficial to me as well, I've been full time back in the office since last August.
It is often the case that going to the office is literally counterproductive, I get less work done, and I have to commute. Working at home is more comfortable, and far better for 60% of what I do.
If I also get the benefit of reduced risk of getting COVID for not doing something that I didn't want to do anyway and which was not helping anyone including myself...
well, if you consider that "not living life normally" I kind of prefer the new normal.
edit: for reference, I am immunocompromised yet still somehow capable of seeing balance in the risks I take (especially the unnecessary ones) instead of jumping to binary "live life normally" or not because life is never going to be fully "normal" for me. If I'm taking risks with my health I want them to be for a reason that actually matters at all.
Does that mean you will never get on a plane again? Go to a restaurant? Go to a concert? Never go inside an office even just once a quarter to spend time with your coworkers?
I already said I am back in the office full time, go to restaurants sometimes, have flown on planes, have gone to a concert, and am immunocompromised to boot.
Argue with someone else if you're going to make up a position for me to defend instead of reading my comment. Your argument style is indistinguishable from an antivax bot.
