you can just admit you're not actually worried about covid, you just want to feel superior to someone with different music taste than yours, there's no need to bend over backwards like this
I have severely immune compromised family members and personally I'd like to avoid the still-expanding laundry list of potentially permanent effects myself- that is if I were to get it and not be one of the unlucky people who dies even without comorbidities. But also get this! I actually truly don't want anyone else's loved ones to die because someone just HAD to see Avril Levigne in concert during a pandemic either. Seeing the very well-thought-out "b-but no treats FOREVER?" take on here of all places is just very disheartening. Even if you listen to Bright Eyes or whatever we can still be comrades though.
Yeah, to be clear, I'm on the side of don't go to concerts and sporting events right now, it's very much not worth getting sick or worse, getting someone else sick. So I'm with you. But your comment just came off as so very asshole-ish, I had to say something. That's all.

That's very reasonable. A jab at someone's music taste was all I could muster at the time, was going for smarmy but maybe I overshot.
All the best
