Why do some people never get COVID while others get it several times, even if vaccinated?
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 04/25/2022 | Danielle Echeverria

There are many people who have never gotten COVID-19, despite repeated exposure. At the other extreme, there are lots who’ve gotten sick from the coronavirus more than once, despite being vaccinated and even boosted.

Do we know why?

A lot of factors are at play, experts said, including genetics and variations in immune response. Scientists are working towards finding a clear answer.

Are some people genetically immune to COVID?

There’s a difference between people who can never catch COVID, despite exposure, and those who are able to clear it out of their systems without ever knowing they had it. If this second category of people tested regularly, they might show positive for a day or two. Different factors are likely at play between the two groups.

"It’s so messy,” Dr. Julie Parsonnet, an infectious disease specialist at Stanford University. “We don’t know how to differentiate between whether you’re just lucky, really careful or if genetically something is different.”

In one study, conducted in early 2021 and known as the human challenge study, 36 healthy young adult volunteers — none of whom had been vaccinated or previously infected — were deliberately given the virus that causes COVID-19 in their noses and tested frequently afterward to track infection. Remarkably, nearly half never got infected at all.

number of people they come into close contact with per average day.

“We don’t know how to differentiate between whether you’re just lucky, really careful or if genetically something is different.”

However, you still need shots and booster upon booster upon booster, Right? Oh, and wear a mask! And shut down the world economy for a few years; that’ll fix things!

*SPIT*

We are the CLUELESS, allowing ourselves to be led by idiots.

They fail to mention vitamin D levels. I would bet it the single most obvious variable.

"Fixed it" to something really ridiculous and factually false, yes.

Because the virus and the “vaccines” are biological weapons.

“They fail to mention vitamin D levels.”

...do you know if D3 is as effective? Or is it the same thing?

Throughout recorded history, it has been noted that there have always been people who were immune to even the worst infectious diseases. Genotypes vary. The problem is that identifying those specific genes or gene combinations has not been possible. There is some hope that given the technology that can map out the complete human genome, in the not too distant future the genes that render immunity or susceptibility will be identified in individuals.

Like all previous studies revealed, when your immune system has been destroyed by ADE, you are more vulnerable to COVID-19.

Some people win the lottery
some people get hit by lightning
somee people get to be our PDJT, the GOAT

some get it
some don’t

Throw out all analysis about “natural” anything once the Kill Shot is in place.

No GMO vegetables, but ok with GMO people?

Some people have robust immune systems, eat healthy, exercise often, don’t get drunk and high, take supplements, meditate, and sleep well .

Some people are disgusting, lazy, fat slobs.

Some people even though they live properly, are unfortunately born weak.

Natural immunity. Some people already had it, possibly from the original SARS or possibly by having covid without realizing it.

I had it once and so I likely have that natural immunity now.

The jabs seem to mess with the ability to gain that natural immunity from having covid once.

I don't need to learn the WHY's of the china virus from the people who spent decades "debunking" the obvious fact that the gay male lifestyle spread AIDs faster than the Christian lifestyle.

That makes about as much sense as wanting broke government to be the one to manage your retirement finances.

I am a teacher. Caught delta in Sept. No vax. Killed COVID with ivermectin.

Been in close contact with many, many students since then and have yet to catch it again.

I got Covid in March 2020 and then didn’t get it again until January 2022. Hubby works in the hospitality industry and didn’t get it at all until January 2022...when he promptly shared it with me. Neither one of us is “vaccinated.”

I've written elswwhereabout AUTHORITY bias. That is, the bias to follow or listen to "experts."

That bias is what chiefly gave us the past two years...many Thinking friends and family got swallowed up in the "follow the (political) science" lie. In contrast, if you did some math and exercised your brain you'd possibly come to a different conclusion.

Outsourcing your reason is a terrible way to live. But as we've discussed before, one does not simply become Deplorable over night. Sure, it's easy to see the immorality of what's going on. It's also easy to say "no, I'm not getting vaxxed." But, as difficult as it may be for people who've had a Framer's mindset all their life, noobs don't just follow up that new attitude with the ninja-like thought process and access to information to facilitate a successful redpilling in an instant. That process takes some time.

Luckily, we seem to be turning a corner. Many vaxxed people who got Omicron are NOW talking like us. Not all of them, but just enough. People are throwing always masks while the CDC and The Atlantic throw a tantrum. And while "Question Authority" had morphed into "Obey Authority", there seems to be enough people seeing inflation and a vacant Bidet on TV and Disney nonsense such that maybe this thing can be turned around.

For those noobs who haven't yet built a robust, post-apocalyptic skill set, we need to bring them into the fold. Liberty grows when the field of participants expands, not by shrinking ourselves to glory.

The vax is a COVID magnet.
