Vaccine protection has fallen to 14.9 per cent — from nearly 90 per cent a month ago — for people who have received two doses, according to the data.
the data shows that two doses continue to offer over 90 per cent protection against hospitalization and intensive care unit admission.
more than 40 percent of the individuals who received the flu shot received no protection from it.

Per the covidians, a sniffle is good as near death.

Did your natural immunity protect you, or did you have any vaccinations at all ?

Had all sorts of reports from the double shot with booster who have "break through" cases over the holiday. They are the only ones I know of.

If you tend to have severe reactions to vaccines, you should not take any vaccine unless the alternative is certain death, and with COVID, it definitely is not.
It's always a risk/reward game, and you're looking a terrible, terrible disease to overcome vaccine allergic reaction as the risk you'd be running. Perhaps rabies ...

Since you have been fairly close to people with covid, do you think at some point you got a mild form of it and built a natural immunity to it? Or has your immunity just fought it off entirely since the beginning?
I was thinking during the Spanish flu some never got it because they had a robust immunity, even though they were surrounded by family and friends that did and died. I would say most of us alive today, have ancestors; that not that long ago survived the Spanish flu, I know I do. Is it luck, or strong genetics, or maybe a better diet too than their peers.
