I have no reason to believe otherwise, but today there is so much misinformation produced by the media, you do get a bit gun shy.
In my opinion, I have plenty of anti-bodies to fight most illnesses even though I have no proof other than the fact that I do not get the flu and I rarely get a cold. If I do get a cold, it might last two days. Don't get me wrong, I have had the pneumonia shot and the shingles shot. I have also had a multitude of shots required to travel to other countries, so I am not adverse to vaccinations, ...just some vaccinations that I feel are unnecessary for me.
I am very impressed with the information available on the CV19 vaccines.
My son was telling me that he read a report that said that people that have had numerous colds may be more immune to Covid19 than people that seldom get colds. They have developed more of an immunity from fighting off colds.

The cold is another Corona virus so it's not unfeasible that this is true.

There's a lot that we don't know about this particular virus. It seems to affect people in the same categories very differently. Scientists are learning more and more every day.

As for the vaccine, I'll be first inline if no one else wants to be. I don't believe in a lot of these government conspiracy theories.
