It is a lot more subtle than that.
There is a large subset of folks who got one, two, even three of the vaccines and declared that they were done.
Those are not anti-vaxxers by any stretch. They just suffered from their own kind of covid fatigue.
I've had 4 or 5 shots, can't remember now how many ( SEE HOW THIS HAPPENS?)
AAAaand I got caught out by the latest strain. I dillyfucked around and bingo.
I could have ended up in the hospital statistics.
Perhaps my recovery was aided by my most recent vaccination and semi-related antibodies.
More likely, I have a robust immune system and beat it back.
The broad brush wipes out all the data.
I fall here, I got the 1st 2, because my work required them to get the full discount on medical premiums, but I have not had any boosters, and will probably get nailed for even posting this ( Knock on wood) I never get flu shots, I got talked into it ONE time within the last 16 years, and I wound up with what must have been A flu sickness, Hadn't been that sick since being a child.
I attribute, myself to a high immune system, due to working environments. I am 1 point away from being able to be diagnosed with Lyme, I have antibodies for human
Ehrlichiosis it is tick borne illness. So I had it at some point in time.
I meant to get the Covid boosters, especially after the variants started. But time, real life issues ect were prioritized. I have custody of 2 grandaughters that are in 1st and 2nd grade. They have closed school several times for illness. My son (their father) was working a job at a nursing home and supposedly caught his second covid infection from doing the laundry of the residents of the nursing home. As I've been told the resident that had it passed away.
He lives with us atm, (free babysitter but we still have legal guardianship)
I didn't get sick AFAIK from his being twice infected. But I work exclusively outdoors now, where I did not when Covid first hit.
I will never get a flu shot again, I am not anti vax, but flu is best estimates per year. Plus my bug bite ratio probably keeps my immune system in overdrive. Probably have a form of black mold in one wall of our bedroom, when we had a window ac unit there. Maybe it will end me early, IDK. My luck I would say not.
I am almost 51 btw, my skin has thinned on my hands, topside. It's like crepe paper. Even through gloves it tears easily.
To end this nonsense I am writing, my newest coworker, recently found out my age. He was in disbelief and I was told I carry myself as much younger, he is in his late 20's and thought I was in my mid to late 30s early 40s at most.
I work with some Anti Vaxers, due to Trumptardation. What can one do. Only what they feel is best I guess.
