The CDC estimates 95 million people nationwide have had COVID-19 at least once. But there are still some people who say they haven’t gotten the virus yet. Is that pure luck, maybe super immunity or is it something else altogether? “I don’t know how it happened,” said Andrew Bangent, Pennsylvania resident. Andrew Bangent and his wife say they have managed to avoid getting COVID-19 at this point during the pandemic. “It’s like a point of pride for me now. Like really proud of it,” said Kaylee Bangent, Pennsylvania resident. These individuals are now being called “COVID-19 superdodgers” but researchers say

If you can think up a term, it’s a thing.
I’ve never been electrocuted or drowned. I must be a superconducter and a swimmer.

My wife and I are in our early seventies. We did not take the "vaccines" nor have we been ill. We do, however, take prophylactic doses of Ivermectin (equine liquid variety, ingested orally) along with probiotics, plus Vitamins D3 and K2 during the winter months. (The sun provides ample vitamin D during our summer months.) This supplements our regular routine of Vitamins C and broad-spectrum B. We have in no way limited our exposure, and almost everyone in our family (with whom we have nearly daily contact) has had a bout of Covid. So, go figure.

Gosh, do you think that maybe the reason these folks remain asymptomatic following a positive test result might be because the test result is faulty. If you don’t feel sick but take a test to show that you really are sick is approaching hypochondriac levels if you ask me.

Two factors that I see, that these overeducated dunces miss.....vitamin D3 levels are a huge factor, but huge numbers of docs don't really believe that vitamins matter beyond taking you One a Day, which is way short of the D3 needed for a healthy immune system. Most Americans who aren't on D supplements will be deficient.
Second, for me personally, AFAIK, I have never had anything that I thought was "the flu", using other people's descriptions of the symptoms....in my adult life, for certain. In childhood, I may not remember and I had chronic ear infections until my tonsils were removed.
In my 40 year working career I probably missed five or six days work other than a couple of broken bones. I had a half a dozen sinus infections over a dozen years until I installed a whole house humidifier.
My wife is much the same, but no broken bones, no sinus infections.
I have no real proof it is the key, but have been taking vitamins on my mother's recommendation for forty years. More in the last thirty.

Last time I was really ill with a fever was 2005. Earlier this Winter I felt a bit like I was in the very early stages of the flu as the first symptom that I get is the slightest sensation of vertigo... I mean just a hint of it. That happened back in February and I upped the Vitamin D and Zinc and spent half the day in bed just resting.
65 years old and the last vaccination I had was a tetanus booster in 1979. Almost killed me too as I went into anaphylactic shock.

Wow, I have been promoted from an anti-vaxxer to a super-dodger. I'm guessing it's the same reason I haven't had the flu or a cold in 40 years. Now if only we could go back from being domestic-terrorists and extreme MAGA people to just plain patriots.

Interesting. My son got chicken pox and had about 6 pock marks. Then my daughter got it and was covered. He has never gotten covid and my daughter has had it twice. I dodged it for 2 years and finally got it on Labor Day weekend. I was mildly uncomfortable for about a day and a half. On the other hand my former boss got it and almost died. People react differently.

95 million people isn't even half of the country. There must be a lot of "super-dodgers" out there. I haven't gotten it, neither have any of my close relatives.

I went against my better scientific judgement, bowed to threats of social isolation and shunning, and got the first two shots. Sick after the first one, less so after the second one. A year later, my labs showed a decreased globulin, which is used by immune system. A few months later, I was fairly sick with Covid, had a scratchy throat, killer headache and fever for 3 days, but felt better after about a week. Two months later, exposed to Covid again and felt scratchy throat and had headache for one day, then nothing. Friends wonder why I don't want to get booster. I have one friend, a nurse no less, who has had all the shots, all the boosters, will continue to get any booster that comes out, but get this, she has had both Delta and Omicron and was quite sick both times! I continue to eat healthy, exercise, take supplements/vitamins, and hope that my immune system completely recovers. No flu shot for me this year, and I can't believe that 'experts' say you can get Covid and Flu vaccines at same time (that way, they can assign any reactions to the flu vaccine).

I may have had it in Feb of 20. Worst flu I've ever had, but passed in a few days. They have been testing me weekly at work for a year (refusenik) and I always come up clean. Funny, so many of the "vaccinated' have had it repeatedly.
But then, I've never seen a flying saucer either, or Elvis at a dry cleaners.

Some of my friends and neighbors got shots and others, like me, got none. There has been absolutely no difference in either group with regard to getting covid. I would say that there were more cases among the vaxed. Sometimes more than once.

Or maybe they had it before the main pandemic and got enough immunity to it to not get it ever again. Kind of like those of us unjabbed who got covid and had nothing more than a bad cold.

My wife and each had a bad cold starting the Saturday before Thanksgiving 2019, long before Covid-1984 became a thing. We weren't tested because there weren't any tests. I had the mother of all headaches, she had a bad lung infection. We both recovered with no lasting issues. I've been tested four times and never came up positive. Neither masks nor social distancing help. I was in a room for a day with a guy who tested positive and never had any symptoms. In fact my temperature always runs low by a degree or so.
when CoVid-1984 was first announced, a study of silicon Valley showed asymptomatic infectees were 3X more Common than symptomatic infectees.

"Super-Dodger?
I thought it was called, having a significantly strong immune system?
It all has to do with keeping ones Vitamin D3 levels high, and it must be D3, not D1 or D2.

I doubt the government will ever disclose the reason some are immune from the disease. It wouldn't be 'fair' if millions could go about their business and not have to mask-up, Vax-up, etc...
