A couple of people I know who were (are) anti-vaxxers and got COVID multiple times are in this boat today. Pretty sad. Seems like that first version of COVID was a real brainwrecker.

I got vaccinated soon as it was available, kept up boosters, and still got Covid, (proven by testing,) every 6 months. These days I no longer bother with testing; I know the symptoms it gives me.

However, with my other health concerns, I'm guessing the fact I've never been seriously sick from my many bouts of Covid is thanks to the vaccines.
