Hi Carol great to hear your insights and experiences regarding the vaccine and the virus. I have never taken a flu vaccine in my life and never get the flu more than once every five years or so, as a minor cold lasting 3 days, for example. Perhaps here in South Africa, especially at the coast, we have excellent fresh air and no pollution. Also the climate is mild all year long.

Cases of covid in South Africa never grew much and are decreasing fast currently. You may be correct regarding the sunshine and lack of vaccine use here. I know nobody who has contracted covid in my circle, and hardly any cases in my town. I simply only hear rumors of covid in my world. It is very odd to me to hear about it yet see it nowhere at all, and yet it is called a pandemic. The death rate this year from flu or chest and lung illness is apparently much the same as any other year. It is simply labelled as covid. Thousands die annually already from flu and lung issues, covid has not changed those stats. Only the label has changed to covid instead of pneumonia or tuberculosis, which is a big problem here.
