> I'm triple vaccinated. Why?

  Not the parent, but in many countries in Europe you need to have a vaccine passport to lead a more-or-less normal life - and in extreme cases, you are not allowed to work and are forced to pay a fine if it expired. So often having a booster or not is not a matter of personal choice.

  It was a toss up. Some reasons why I went the way I did: 1) I am of an age where risk/reward ratio is clearer. It still isn't so compelling that I rushed to do it, but far better than for college kids. 2) I was (and remain) concerned that the dark-blue city where I live is going to mandate them to participate in normal life. I find this loathsome, but I am not in a position to fight it. 3) It gives me a certain authority when I tell people that I don't believe in vaccine mandates or many of our policies, yet I am 100% compliant with the rules. 4) I thought maybe it would keep me from catching a cold. Alas, because the universe tends toward maximum irony, a week after the booster I caught Omicron.
