Government still trying to dissect me because apparently I am immune to covid and all of its various strains. Another reason I had to move and go off grid.

Interesting. I've been wondering that same thing about myself (immunity). Did you by any chance have the Hong Kong Flu back in 1968 and 69? I did and all these years later, I've never had any kind of flu since.


As for the OP, many places everywhere have had to cancel appointments because vaccines are delayed in shipping because of the snow storms around the country. Try places like Walmart, CVS, etc.

I’m not sure. I haven’t even had a simple cold in 20 years.
I just don’t get sick. Interested parties would like to find out why.

I never spent a day in the hospital in my entire life and I am 68 ...I was so rarely sick that when I left my company they owed me many many. months in accumulated sick time . I was just rarely sick , going years with nothing .

In the mean time my wife and I had an event with covid that had us hospitalized for two weeks .

It was the sickest in my life .

As to why ?

A lot of reasons .

First is the amount of viral load you get exposed to .

Then comes underlying health issues , which we really both have none .

We all genetically have different amounts of ac2 receptors the virus can latch on to. So ac2 receptors and amount of viral load is a biggie .

We all have different memory cells from previous vaccines for disease that may have some like protein.

We all have different memory cells inherent from previous illnesses or just genetically .

Age tends to be a factor ..as memory cells fade over time .

Memory cells make up our basic defense system prior to the bodies recognition of just what the virus protein is so it can eventually create antibodies ..

There so much still not known as to why everyone has a different reaction to covid and response but not catching a cold or flu is not really part of the equation in any meaningful way of judging .

There are far more complex reasons

No thanks. Although anyone else but Cuomo might do a better job.

I'm an essential worker, my wife is not. Weird that I'm vaccinated, and she's not. This process is Moderator cut: language removed show.
