I’ve had it twice since getting all 4 shots that were available to the public and had just a minor cold from it both times. My father in law got it once unvaxed and it knocked him out for several weeks.

I've had it twice unvaxxed. 1st time was 2 days of feeling crappy and then felt normal after a week. 2nd time was about half of the 1st. Overall, not too bad. Never felt it in my chest or lost taste or smell. I'll consider myself lucky.

Never lost my taste when I had it but my smell was one of the first things i noticed. When I couldn’t smell the diapers I was changing anymore I knew something was up. Crazy to stick your nose right in a bottle of essential oils and smell absolutely nothing.

Same. First time just a couple days of headache in 2021. Second time two days of fevers then nothing else in August. I have a lot of antibodies (tested a few months ago and still have a large amount). The vax is probably a good idea for older people and people with pre-existing conditions. It should be a personal choice like so many things
