I still need to get the most recent booster. My guess is that you'll either have a reaction to a specific vaccination, or you won't.
Me, I have had zero reactions to any of the Covid shots I've gotten so far. And I seriously doubt that means I'm not reacting enough to get an immune response. I happen to be by far the healthiest person I know at my age (75) and even recently had a minor broken arm (compression fracture of the right ulna) that I completely recovered from in three weeks.
I think what this whole Covid thing is showing, that not enough people are paying attention to, is that people all have vastly different immune systems. For lots of different reasons: genetics, what we were exposed to early on, what kinds of vaccines or medications we go, genetics.
I put down genetics twice because I think that's the hidden true reason for all this variability in getting or not getting Covid (or flu or a cold) and that variability in response to the vaccines.
Oh, and I want to make encouraging noises about your cataract surgery. I often tell people that cataracts were the best thing that ever happened to my eyes. In first grade I could not see the blackboard, despite sitting in the front row. Got glasses the next summer. New glasses every year, eventually got contact lenses, and I'll spare you the rest of the boring saga. Twelve years ago, at age 63, my eye doctor said, "Poindexter, it's time for cataract surgery." So I got it. O!M!F!G! My current vision is fabulous, even though I still need reading glasses. I don't care. My distance vision is phenomenal. I feel like I can read small signs on distant hills. Everything is crystal clear (although close up is a sort of crystal clear blurry) that I never ever experienced with glasses or contacts. What I like best is that I wake up in the morning, look across the room, and can read the clock. It still feels special.
