While I have had concerns, I haven’t had fear. My concern as a healthcare worker was that I would be exposed repeatedly and could develop long term complications, but I was more concerned that I would get it and pass it to others who could die. Healthcare workers take a vow to do no harm. Most specifically, and selfishly, I had the concern that I would pass it to my parents who are at retirement age and who could die. The mortality over 65 is worse than 1 in 150 or something (I haven’t done the math in a while). The other real concern was overwhelming the healthcare system, which we saw all over the world at different times, especially in the US.
You say this was manipulated to cause an unnecessary amount of fear. If anything, the former administration did everything to downplay the severity of the virus, and 550,000 deaths later, we see the consequences. I don’t think we needed to have fear. What we needed to have was concern for our fellow countryman and acknowledgement that this virus was a threat to our systems. When we look around the world at countries that took this virus serious, who’s people took the virus serious, who are experienced with pandemics, they succeeded with fewer deaths, with less time in lockdowns, with more financial success or less losses, etc. I think the biggest problem was the propaganda that this virus could be ignored, and it would just go away on its own with minimal casualties or disruptions to industries. In fact, the opposite was the case; ignoring the problem only made it worse.

Show me where I said any of those things. I'll wait.
And I don't smoke...never had, and have previously had all necessary, standard vaccines. I don't get the flu vaccine because of a severe reaction to it previously...and I hardly ever get sick.
Stop sounding like a pompous authority on my health.
What made this worse wasn't ignorance by a previous administration. It was, and is because of the constant, incoherent changing of information by our so-called expert on infectious diseases that has back tracked, changed direction and contradicted himself so many times no one know who to trust. Less intrusive approaches to virus prevention were adopted by other areas and had similar, if not better, infection rates.
The science says the virus is survivable by 99.x% of the population, and current reports from the CDC say the Covid vaccine appears to be safe for 99.x% of the population. I have an equal chance of dying from either.
