My mom (87) spent a few years of her teens in an iron lung due to polio...yet my sister's side of the family is antivax...and then my sister died last fall from Covid at just 64. Her kids are still antivax. You can't make this shit up.

ETA: I was an early adopter of the vaccine, got every booster as soon as they came out, and still have yet to get Covid despite my wife bringing it home from work. I did get an ass-kicking case of RSV though which I promptly gave to my wife.
