When I finish school and get a job with insurance, sure. And what would I get when the bomb explodes? Never getting sick seems pretty good to me
Either way, I'm just thankful that I didn't get Covid until after the vaccines were available. I had a cold last month that's worse than this, I'm practically 100% now. Quick battle, but my antibodies kicked COVID to the curb pretty quickly. Just dealing with a tiny amount of postnasal drip, saline spray takes care of that.
But what about the other people who come in contact with you? Don't they matter? My dad died because he got it from someone else, just think about that for a moment.
Have you considered the possibility that the reason you had a mild version of Covid was because you had previously had the Vaccine. Not advocating anything I had 3 shots of vaccine and also had Covid. My Covid experience was also very mild. I do not plan to get any further shots of the vaccine.
…although I have remained up to date with every new booster for COVID, and, unlike the vast majority, I get a flu shot every year. They're working on a COVID-flu combo vaccine. I'm all for it. One stop, one shot, one sore arm for one day; what a deal! 
After managing to avoid this plague for four years, I finally caught COVID in the days after Christmas (likely when I paid a visit to Universal Studios Hollywood. It was sold out that day and I'd never seen such crowds there). I didn't know it was COVID at first; I suspected a flu. I had fever, chills, and a cough for several days and then it settled into congestion and a cough. On Tuesday I woke up with an ear infection (likely unrelated, though my doctor thought it might not be entirely unrelated) and I went in to get it looked at. They also tested me for COVID and it was positive. So obviously I've had it this whole time (and this was around the time I started to lose my sense of taste, something everyone I know who's had COVID has experienced).
I tested positive on an antigen test today so I am unfortunately still prohibited from returning to my classes. (The only symptom I have now is mild congestion). I'm going a bit stir-crazy and I so badly want to be back in class in person. I'm hoping I test negative soon.
(I was vaccinated once in 2022 and have not been since).

Given that caught covid in 2023, and I was last vaccinated in 2020, no I don't think that's the case.
I have had - gratefully accepted - every vaccine jab that has been offered, (four to date, I think), plus the flu jab, when it is offered in the autumn.
As do I.
An excellent idea.They're working on a COVID-flu combo vaccine. I'm all for it. One stop, one shot, one sore arm for one day; what a deal!
It's almost a certainty that you had a reduced disease burden because of the vaccine. Nearly all of the T cell epitopes in the vaccine are still present in the omicron subvariants that are currently circulating.

Moderna's Covid/Flu is in stage 3 trials currently. Results are very promising. Targeting approval early 2025 from regulators.
