11. It's just so frustrating that ANYONE might think 'It won't happen to me'

I honestly don't get that kind of denial.

There's a good chance I had it but was asymptomatic. My brother had it, early in March of 2020 and he was at my house when he was likely very contagious. He got really sick but not able to be hospitalized because they were swamped with people even sicker. He followed the instructions he was given and recovered.

I wish I had gotten an antibody test before I got the vaccine, just to find out if I had been infected or not.

As soon as the vaccine was approved for my demographic, I was searching several times a day to find an appointment. Same with the booster. If there's another shot recommended, I'll get it as soon as I can.
