I think I have a functioning brain. I am vaccinated and also had a booster as well. Since 2019 I never got sick due to WFH, and to this day never got Covid as well, any variants. I don't use mask to go outside, and I am not the most hygiene person, growing up in a 3rd world country.

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.

That's still just anecdotal.
