I'd like you to read this:

If I have read it in a different way to non disabled people, this is likely to be the cause.
I really hope you start to at least try and be more understanding of those with neuro diverse conditions. As an example, things like dementia are expected to sky rocket over the next few years and all of us are at risk. If any of your loved ones are affected please, please don't react with rude belittlement as it will be the last thing they will need whilst confused, frightened and looking to you for support.
For the record, I don't think the post was done with any malice, but was trying to look on the bright side of things, but I do think it was unintentionally insensitive to those who have suffered because of this virus, up to and including permanent disablement and death.

I had high hopes that the vaccine could give us all some hope that we could get back to normality, but it now looks like it's playing cat & mouse with us.
