After more than two years have passed since the spread of Corona, and millions of people around the world have been infected more than once with the development of infection and the emergence of many variables, some have not been infected at all.
According to estimates by the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 60% of Americans were infected with the Corona virus at some point until late February, before a widespread outbreak of “BA.4” BA.5 mutants.
Some people were not infected with the Corona virus only once, but there are those who were infected two or even three times, despite taking vaccinations once morest the infection that first appeared in China in late 2019.
And the “Washington Post” newspaper wrote that the Corona virus had reached people in highly protected circles such as leaders of countries, where US President Joe Biden was infected with the virus, and at the beginning of the year Anthony Fauci himself, who is the chief infectious disease adviser in the United States, was infected.
While some people have remained immune to the virus and have not contracted it at all, questions arise as to whether they have “super immunity” or if it is just a coincidence that they do not become infected.

The newspaper spoke to people who said that they had been going out as they wished for a long time, and had contact with a number of infected people, but they had survived the disease that killed millions of people.
Regarding these cases, the epidemiologist, Eleanor Murray, explains that there is no evidence, from a scientific point of view, that some people have “genetic immunity” that makes them safe from infection.
Researchers believe that some people were infected with corona, but did not discover the transmission of the infection to them, due to the absence of symptoms, and this makes the health authorities in the world believe that the actual number of infected people is much higher than what is officially registered.
Catherine Wallace, a researcher in epidemiology at the University of Illinois, says that some people who contract corona following escaping the virus for two years feel a kind of failure or frustration, as if they failed in the task of protecting themselves from infection through preventive measures such as distancing and wearing a muzzle.
And the American expert explains that these people forget an important thing, which is that “they are not bad people because they failed and picked up the virus, but the new mutant – the fastest spreading – is the bad one.”
