Pepsifree are you done beating your chest yet?

^^
Very serious, and it will be interesting to see how that all plays out with everyone's 1st and 2nd doses happening at different times and different age and risk categories being considered to require the doses more than others. Does this hit straight across the board when the 3rd requirement falls, or will they come out with something that makes sense is the hope I guess...

For instance, for myself there is research that points to post covid recoveries showing strong immune responses to the first dose but next to no benefit from the second one (in my risk category). Now that this has been around for 2 years and is showing no signs of going anywhere it would just be nice If the rules regarding what is right or wrong started to fall more in line with realistic.

I guess what I am saying is- I'm 32, I was covid positive and had a sore throat one morning that was gone the same day and had zero other symptoms. I stayed home from work and got tested despite thinking I didn't have covid. followed all the rules and was dumbfounded when I got the positive result and that's how I was able to avoid any serious outcomes for myself or anyone in my life. Now that I have had it, and know where I fall in terms of risk, and with the information on breakthrough Cases and transmission. I'm not really open to the idea of continually getting boosters when there are others who need them much more than myself.
