>got heavily downvoted.

why? blood type envy? Being 0 negative has its drawbacks too, everybody wants your blood and it seems to be a permanent emergency-level scarcity of it

It's not that much fun to be remembered by society only when our blood is necessary, which seems to be always

I only got 3 vaccines total and stopped because the idea of a few countries having many vaccines per capita while third world countries having few and air travel resuming didn't make sense to me at all.

Vaccines should be more evenly distributed IMHO

By mid-2022, just over three per cent of people in low-income countries had been vaccinated with at least one dose, compared to 60.18 per cent in high-income countries.

Makes sense. I haven't gotten even a false positive yet. We'll see how that changes as new varieties keep on trying to get me.

And you never tested positive?

If so, that's also my story. I couldn't believe I got one negative test result after another

Some people are not even testing positive for COVID while taking care of infected family members, wondering what genetic advantage they have.

I know that those with O negative blood types are the ones who deal better with COVID symptoms
