I’m prob gonna wear a mask in public from here on in. I hope that sometime in April the general population gets a break. Covid overload too much. I’ve personally taken 3 shots —-I don’t see me doing anymore unless something dramatic happens. I got booster but still got covid. So I have as much protection inside me as u can have. I never got a flu shot in my life but also haven’t had flu. We all have to go our own path after a long period of time. Mine will be wearing mask and being cognizant of social distance. But I maybe done with additional immunizations.

Don't give up on the additional immunizations yet BRIGGS, or at least be open to hearing what they are about and why they may still be relevant.

We may not be done yet.

I am hopeful that Omicron and its variants die off over the next 2 months. Spring will hit and everyone can enjoy some much needed months outside with social interaction

But don't let your guard down. Not just yet.

I understand your position. I personally will be taking boosters every time it's time to. I also have never taken a flu shot. I did get the flu one time in college and it really kicked my butt for a week. If the flu could do that I am not taking any chances with this thing. One thing we know for sure about this is that antibodies for Covid lessen over time.

I personally think not getting boosters is gambling. We so far have gotten variants that make it more transmissible sooner or later we are going to get variants that make them more lethal. The reason why getting all these more transmissible variants is still bad is because the virus now has more opportunities to find immunocompromised people. These people are where is mutates while it fights off weakened immune systems.

The sad thing is I think this is our new way of life. I don't see us getting enough people worldwide vaxxed at the same time to kill it off. Poverty, Anti vaxxers, variants and immunity lessening over time makes that way too hard of a task. So now that herd immunity is now virtually impossible the priority goes to making sure my antibodies are ready for when I eventually catch it.

Bizarre, a lot of governments seem to have given up on covid, and are essentially trying not to think about it any more- we seem to have nothing planned in case of bad scenarios or developments, essentially we're just hoping for the best and trying not to think about the worst. Ridiculous, but then again that was the policy for climate change for many years.

How did you come to these conclusions?

Check out some European countries- particularly the UK,

Is there much info about some people having an immunity to it?

I've known may families like this

I do wonder if it’s a fluke, or what the rates are of people with a robust natural immunity/resistance to the spiked protein, I’ve only read one or two articles and very small studies mentioning the research into it and even those weren’t really sure what’s going on.

At the beginning of the pandemic my wife got COVID. I was sleeping in the same bed for 2 nights. Until she finally got tested and tested positive. I took care of her giving her food and what not. I never got it. My family then went ahead and got the vaccine and boostered. Got a grandson and he is now 7 months olds. We babysit and I am with him almost everyday. My daughter and son-in-law got COVID at the beginning of the year and my grandson got it as well. They were both vaccinated. I still took care of my grandson. I just said...well I am getting it now. I am holding him and kissing him and everything. I never got COVID. So....

In my family, my wife, 2 daughters, son-in-law and grandson got COVID. Myself, 2 sons and daughter-in-law never got COVID. It is weird.

EDIT: I have been tested multiple times. I play basketball unmasked. I go to the gym unmasked after the NY mask mandate was lifted.
