This is how I found out I got a bad strain of COVID after getting vaxed. Sleep through a rough fever, next day all good, except muscle pain; it lasted for 2 weeks.

Years later I get antibodies checked I developed antibodies for a strain that didn't exist when I was vaxed, that episode happened 1y later. Yup, fevers are the best.

Wife and I got COVID last fall, despite being vaxxed. But god knows how bad it could have been without. I have mild emphysema, that shit can kill me.

And no, neither one of us kept up with the vax schedule. That's on us.
