Ah, and isn't that so interesting! I am one of these ppl, so far as I know. I rode thru the whole ordeal w/o getting any of the symptoms of COVID illness. I did get sick three times in as many years, and my illness in 2020 was rather intense (flulike, fever, aches, tiredness, but nothing from the COVID symptom watchlist) but also very short lived. I was fine all day, by evening I decided I wasn't OK and went to bed. I remained there, with a bottle of water bedside, and mostly slept for 24-ish hours. Then I woke up, gingerly had a meal, after which I felt completely well again. And was.
I'm not COVID vaccinated. I donate blood regularly and get asked about this and if I'm having any COVID symptoms at each appt. I feel a little strange telling them that I'm unvaxxed, and so far as I know, have never had COVID nor a positive test. I have family who did get it. Somehow I escaped, despite participating in normal family gathers at holidays, despite expert advice. Nobody died from it in my extended family (big fam, many members), though there were two who needed hospital care. I don't imagine I'm in any way special...
