I didn't take the shots and I've had the bug twice - once last winter (beta?) and once last week (omicron). I lived to tell about it without difficulty, but I stocked up on immune and anti-viral supplements. That said, we know scads of people who are getting sick despite the shots with omicron circulating.
Everyone I know that is NOT jabbed, is on safe and effective preventatives….and, have been, since 2020. I guess that could have something to do with why they’ve escaped this FauciCon.
Glad you recovered nicely and that you are well stocked on supplements.
