This is curious.
My reputed covid-19 resistance is caused by some Neanderthal genes I have that most people do not. They code to produce proteins that combat invasive RNA, so they are not specifically against SARS-cov-2, it just happens to fall into the proper category to be rejected by my body, "fought off". Oddly, also from what I have been able to gather, that is also how the majority of the MRNA gene therapy "vaccines" are supposed to work - by installing the same kind of thing into the bodies of people not born with those particular genes. The "MRNA" in them is Messenger Ribonucleic Acid that codes to cause cells to produce the proteins to reject the foreign RNA used by the virus.
I too am occasionally subjected to brief bouts of "depression" mixed with "anxiety" that come and go rapidly, a sort of nonspecific sense of "foreboding" that vanishes as quickly as it's onset, although not usually without some sort of trigger, however light and unnoticeable to most folks. I've been that way all my life, though, so I've gotten used to it and made it manageable, even useful, over time.
I'm wondering now if that may be a side effect of those proteins those genes code for, or some other protein they code for that is as yet uninvestigated. I can see how it may have been useful to Neanderthals 50,000 years ago when the world was a very different place, because I can still find uses for it in the modern day world, if properly managed. It makes one cautious and watchful when those qualities may be perceived, even subconsciously, to be of use.
It's kind of mind-boggling to think that resistance I have to a modern disease was borne of a defense generated in another species of human 100,000 years ago as a response to a long-ago virus that may not even exist any more. Or, conversely, if that immunity may not just be a side effect of proteins originally meant only to produce caution and wariness under certain conditions.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
