Got vaccinated so I could travel. Got Covid after that anyway, mild inconvenience. May have gotten it before vaccination, hard to say. Symptoms were mild and not different than a cold or the flu in all cases for me.
For the people I know, several got mild symptoms, including one who had not only the vaccination but 4 boosters. Some had not been vaccinated and still are not. Didn't seem to matter.
If I had never heard of Covid-19, all of what happened could have been explained by the usual illnesses we always have around. I understand that for some people things were different.
For instance the very old and the very obese, I am glad the vaccine was available for them, and I hope they took advantage of it as well as socially isolating themselves. To help protect them, I wore a mask whenever around them, and kept that time to a minimum, in case I was contagious. And yes, I understand that not every single serious Covid case involved the old and obese, but the great majority did.
Endpoint? Everyone is fine, even the 90-year-olds I know. That's how it turned out for me. Only one data point, but you did ask :-)
I am constantly exposed to Covid positive people, including my own wife who got Covid, 24x7 and I did not do any social distancing at all. I still don't get Covid.
Meanwhile, I know a friend got infected with Covid 2 times, despite having vaccinated and boosted.
Is it just me or my 3rd world country - not so hygiene - probably multiple times infected with various virus - body is stronger than average 1st worlders?
TLDR: This is 2022 and I still don't get Covid despite not being careful.
Go figure. I wanna know too.
You did get Covid, you were just asymptomatic and probably didn't have a high enough viral load in your nose for the tests to detect it. If you even did test.
