You're not alone. One of my good friends is a bartender in LA, refused to get vaccinated (for religious reasons that aren't germane to this discussion) and has yet to get covid. You would think that a guy that interacts with people every day at a bar would get it, but nope. He never has. Probably never will. Makes me think that the CDC should seek out people like this and study them to determine why. I got my proper vaccinations, and still got it a couple months ago. It was a pretty decent flu, but honestly no worse than my worst seasonal flu I had back in 2014. He travels internationally a lot, and I have to wonder if doing that primed his immune system in some way.
- CogitoCogito 4y agoHe could have had an asymptotic infection. But yeah maybe he was just never infected. Of course everyone isn’t going to get it. Edit: What’s your reasoning for this claim? > Probably never will.

- CogitoCogito 4y agoIn the case where he has _not_ every been infected, I see no reason to assume any future infection would be asymptomatic. Besides you can always have it asymptomatic once and then worse later. My girlfriend had a light (well it was still comparable to a bad flu) case in the beginning of the pandemic and then a year later a much worse case that took more than 6 months to fully recover from.
