Interesting how things work out. To my knowledge, I have never had Covid. I was vaccinated multiple times but my wife and daughter were the first to get vaccinated. They were worried about me because I was the one that was immunosuppressed. Both wife and daughter have had mild cases of Covid and tested positive twice. I'm still looking for my first positive Covid test. I do get sick but I have never tested positive for Covid.
I'm not an anti-vax person but I avoid vaccines whenever I can. I haven't had the shingles vaccine yet. It has been offered to me numerous times. Vaccines have caused flares so I take that into consideration. I don't want my immune system to get overly excited about anything.
I have told my health care providers that I can be talked into almost anything. One doctor prided himself on talking people into a vaccine. He bribed me with more prednisone if I would do a pneumovax. I thought he was creative so I agreed to the pneumovax and turned down the extra prednisone.
