You're gonna need to provide some citation that young, no comorbidity individuals have "most likely" more severe symptoms when they have 2 doses vs 3.

Yep, I find it quite reprehensible how quickly politicians (the ones in public health and elected leaders) pivoted from "the vaccine will end the pandemic" into "this is the un-vaccinated peoples fault". I guess politica
