COVID isn't a germ. It is a dangerous virus that has serious long-term effects. Even in kids!

This is a facetious comment- right? If not, you really need to read more of gato...

I was wondering if he read the article. The lady was vaxxed and still got Covid.

"germ

jûrm

noun

1. A small mass of protoplasm or cells from which a new organism or one of its parts may develop.

2. The earliest form of an organism; a seed, bud, or spore.

3. A microorganism, especially a pathogen."

See number 3.

Now, it could be argued that a virus technically isn't an "organism", but then that would just prove that your original argument is a semantic one, not a substantive one.

Like complaining that someone called a "bunker" a "sand trap", or a "magazine" a "clip". A distinction without a practical conversational difference.
