We were both vaccinated, and we caught the dreaded covid. Even though she tested positive twice, she still insisted that she had nothing more than a mild cold. She still adamantly insists that it couldn't have been covid, since it was milder than colds she has had. On the other hand, I do not get the flu and hardly ever catch a cold. Probably ten years since I had a cold. Covid gave me a congested head and a sore throat and some coughing. No fever. My taste was distorted, which made tomato sauce based food taste terrible and sweet foods taste extra sweet. No effect on my sense of smell.
Supposedly, we now have an abundance of antibodies plus the vaccination so we should be in pretty good shape. Supposedly, those that have had covid have three times the protection of those that are vaccinated. Add the vaccination to that protection and we should be able to enjoy a fairly normal lifestyle. I probably won't be getting boosters for it. It is waning right now, and that looks to be a pretty good forecast for the future. That's my opinion and I did not mean to influence anyone else's decision. I may be totally wrong, but that is just my reasoning on the booster idea. One thing that also makes a difference is that I have NO medical issues, and that should be a consideration in anyone's rationale when making health care choices.
