I have to wonder if people are so over-vaccinated that they can no longer produce a natural response. What is everyone’s own experience with this?

My experience is that I got infected with the original virus SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) in March of 2020. It was less than a cold. I had an unusual (never felt before) congestion in my upper lungs, I had an irrepressible urge to cough. (I was outside at a public park at the time & the mania had just hit - say March 15th or so & I did NOT want to cough - I really, really tried not to cough). I got to my car & felt free to cough. I drove home & started to write what I thought would be an article about my experience with the dread COVID. An original article by a sufferer would have been of interest at the time as so little was known about the virus. The next day, I woke up feeling fine. No symptoms, no article to write. But I did have something invaluable - natural immunity. I have been thankfully free of any cold/flu symptoms since. (I don't think it is a magic power - I think the Covid virus (& its associated variants) has out competed the normal cold/flu viruses & it probably won't last much longer). Some details: 60 years old, non-smoker, adequate Vitamin D level (as shown in blood tests a few months later), daily walker, excellent health, pretty good nutrition (I eat my veggies).
