Congrats on 82, exercise and mild covid. I consider that extraordinary -and you should too. You already had covid so your immune system can produce anti-bodies against it. This was the point of the vaxx -to prep the immune system for a rapid response to covid by pre-triggering an immune response.
Once a person’s had covid they no longer need to vaxx. That’s what the Israelis said in spring ‘20. Unfortunately my employment required the vaxx at that time. So even tho I had covid in Jan ‘20 I still had to vaxx in June ‘21.
I now have to wait 7 more years for the J&J-affected cells to die-off while dealing with blood clots, mini stokes and pericarditis. Interestingly, the VA knows my private practice medical history specifically took me off the anti-coagulant Clopidigril while also putting me on two medicines with known heart attack risk. They have a pharmacy ‘specialist’ call me monthly to make sure I’m taking the meds they prescribed and not taking Clopidigril or other blood thinners. The specialist is a young man, new to the facility and he’s on speaker phone with the regular VA pharmacist in the background, deferring to him. IMO very creepy cuz he asks right away if I’m still taking Clopidigril and 325mg aspirin and if I am taking the two ‘heart attack’ meds in his “review” of my medications.
Consider yourself very lucky.
My doctor told me immunity from getting and recovering from covid usually lasts 6 months.
I am back on my every other day gym routine. I am gaining new muscles from just light weight lifting. Old people need not get weak & feeble. Problem is old people avoid aerobic exercise like it was covid.
