We must have all seen this now lots of times with the best example being man and wife who share a bed with one contracting it but not the other. I would like to give the vaccine the benefit of the doubt with that one but in true anecdotal style, a friend of mine wife and daughter had it but he didn't. This was pre vaccine and back when all ge needed was a negative PCR to remain out and about. I remember feeling a bit uncomfortable around him for a while but he did follow every rule at the time.
Yep one of my neighbours over from me had it, his wife didn’t and neither did his son and daughter-in-law whom he had spent time with either !

Nothing new I’m sure we’ve all seen this over the decades with different infectious diseases. We don’t all have a one size fits all immune system.

Which means also definitely pre-omicron, which is more infectious than delta, which is far more infectious than alpha and original. Was it pre-delta, even?

The 'with' or 'of' conundrum
Oct 20: +ve = x50 more likely to die than their all cause mortality;
Dec 20 onwards (progressively): vaccination reduced this to ~x10 by Jul 21 (Delta)
Now: Omicron down to ~5x.
All ONS or gov.uk dashboard data. Unrelated = 2015-2019 average: demographic data (England & Wales) giving how many of those people would be expected to die within 28 days from all-cause-mortality. Raw = per death certificate

This happened to my daughter.
She has two sons, aged 5 & 8. Her husband and one son got it back in May, when none of them had been vaccinated. She and her other son then got it in November, when both she and her husband had been double vaccinated.
The two kids share a bedroom, and the two adults share a bed, yet one of each got it at a time.

It wasn't that long ago some on here were slating the Government for 'rushing it through' If I recall and weren't happy about that.
Seems that's changed a bit now though.

My daughter's family is similar. It's like there's only one covid at a time allowed in the house so they take turns. It meant 3 separate sessions of isolation just before Christmas. They seem to need to go back to the playground to get the latest version.
My step-daughter, on the other hand, is a complete covid magnet. She's had it 3 times. I dropped a Vitamin D level self-test kit off at her place yesterday. I've no idea how accurate they are and I'm unsure that there's even an agreed threshold for ''deficiency'' but I'm pretty certain her levels are low and higher levels will not harm her.

It is possible to poison oneself with vitamin D but you have to take like 20x once-a-day supplements for a while.

I always thought the Government did a great job of the roll out myself, but I suppose I would, but now it sounds like people are more than happy with the progress.
Perhaps I'm wrong and all posters during the early phases were fully behind Boris?
