Serious question: How many boosters, and how many more do you plan to take until you give up?
- ceejayoz 2y agoI'm not OP, but in my case the answer is the same as flu - it's likely to be a routine annual thing. Eventually it'll probably be part of the flu shot.

- archagon 2y agoWhy “give up”? It’s just like a flu shot, might as well take it every year. (Until Republicans decide to ban it outright, that is: https://amp.idahostatesman.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article299331544.html https://amp.idahostatesman.com/news/politics-government/stat...)
- dennis_jeeves2 2y agoBecause the poster said that he had covid 3 times despite the shot.
- archagon 2y agoIt's not a prophylactic, but it can significantly reduce severity of symptoms as well as the chances of getting long COVID.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 2y agoDoes less severe symptoms from being vaccinated make people spread fewer virus around? If so it's like people haven't heard of probability. With vaccines people have less severe symptoms so they spew fewer virus to people with higher resistance. A combination of these things can drive the R0 value below 1 making the pandemic fizzle out. Is my amateur non expert mental model correct?
- ekianjo 2y ago> but it can significantly reduce severity Only for people at risk. For randos in good health it does not change anything.
