Have you had it?

Have you had COVID-19? Were you vaccinated at the time? How well have you recovered from it?

Thankfully *touches wood* I've not contracted the virus.. Not officially anyway. I suspect that I may have had it around Dec '19 / Jan '20, prior to it being in the public eye. I was really quite unwell with my joints literally throbbing and briefly losing my sense of smell, but of course, it could have been flu - there's no sure way to know for definite.

I continued working throughout the various lockdowns in two jobs at both a secondary school and a supermarket.. Even with measures in place you'd think I'd have been likely to get it in either environment.

I'm now double-vaccinated.. 👍
 
I have NOT had it, no signs of it, and do no jabs of any kind but work on my own immume system:

Vit C, Vit D, Zinc, Quercetin and Grape Seed Extract (been taking it 26 yrs) I am very healthy senior lady. People are foolish NOT to take some of the supplements I post. Vit D is critical in all this covid illness and deaths.

I have not had covid and neither has any of my family or extended family...which is odd.

I have had both shots of the vaccine and won't be getting any more because of my allergic reaction to PEG in the mRNA vaccines. I don't want to mess up my system by risking taking the other that has Polysorbate 80 instead of the PEG. I mean, if I get allergic to that there isn't much left in the way of other meds for me to take since a lot either have one or the other.
 
I haven't had Covid and am fully vaccinated, I have known people who have had it, and wow the things it did to them! Horrible illness to get!

Oh wow, that's a hard allergic reaction to have, you definitely don't want to compromise your immune system, nor risk damaging your ability to take other meds in the future. I absolutely understand not wanting to get the future vaccines!
 
Same here i have not had it but know many that have, i'm still shocked to see how sick this made them and to have people running around saying it's fake is nuts, I have both of my shots so does my family and i now wait for the booster shot.

Totally agreed, I have no idea how people can claim it's fake and disregard it as if it were nothing. It's astounding that it happens so frequently, and how many anti-vaccine people end up catching it and, worse, how many pass. It's so sad.
 
I have received two doses of the Chinese vaccine Vero cell. However, when I had covid, I was not vaccinated. Well, I did not go for testing but I knew it was covid because I showed the same symptom that covid patients showed.
 
I only took single time vaccine, since then I never really bothered to take the second time. They told me that, I should take the complete doze, after that, their will be the last vaccination which will take over in the next six months.
 
Up your Vit C, make sure Vit D is adequate in your body, and take D3 regardless, Zinc, Quercetin and I've been taking
Grape Seed Extract for 26 yrs for strong Immune System. Get on supplements -- they are your BEST FRIENDS.
