My family’s experience was to doubt the efficacy of the vaccine, brought to market in haste with no trials and total liability protection for its producers. We doubted the value of masks, a position which has been verified. Since symptoms of Covid for healthy people were more cold or flu like, we depended on our immune systems. We got infected early with about a 48- hour blah feeling, loss of taste. Our symptoms were fewer than many friends who were vaccinated, with no after effects that so many of the vaccinated are enduring.
Norman, I might have had more doubts also if I had not also read the book by Walter Isaacson--The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race that came out about the time the vaccines were being developed. It is an intriguing read. Betty and I did get the vaccine and some boosters. We had two very mild cases. One from our youngest grandson who got it from his nanny who did not know at the time she had it, and one when we were in big crowds in closed quarters over a New Years weekend in the Asheville, NC area. We were very cautious at the request of our family. We were glad to respond to their feelings and research. For you, it was probably all that fast cycling you do as you sought to outrun the virus.
