I've been following the science and knew the COVID vaccines were far from 100%
effective, especially against the newer strains of the virus.  But I still
figured the vaccines were worth getting, as far as preventing the worst effects
of the virus.

So far, I seem to be one of those who's highly resistannt to COVID-19.  Despite
one well confirmed and multiple suspected exposures, I've avoided it *fingers
crossed*.  Sure the vaccines probably helped, but it's a combination of
vaccination status, innate factors and often dumb luck that determine who
catches COVID.

And I know I have at least one known risk factor for long COVID - prior
Epstein-Barr infection, so I'm definitely not wanting to get COVID-19.
