So discussions as you said that are biased by being unable to distinguish between unvaccinated and uninfected to infected just leads to understating the effectiveness which in turn could suppress booster uptick.
The only question worth trying to answer is how much does an additional dose add additional protection relative to not getting an additional dose. This is because people making a decision today on whether to get a booster or not are already vaccinated so it doesn’t matter how effective the vaccine is vs an unvaccinated person.
Do I reduce my risk of mortality by getting a 4th dose or if I haven’t gotten a 3rd dose yet, a third.

A few things that I am questioning.
North America has for some reason completely ignored the effectiveness of natural immunity. Why?
As we get more data, it is becoming clear that mRNA vaccines are not nearly as safe as was originally stated, or for that matter not nearly as dangerous as some think. I think our health agencies need to be clear on this, and be as transparent as possible, because there have been so many claimed 'truths' about the mRNA vaccines that have have been completely wrong. You can find many examples of these from almost every major health agency.
What is the efficiency data on repeated boosters? Are there no concerns about the immune response it is supposed to illicit with each new shot?
What are the updated risk factors for different demographics once we assume that pretty much everyone has been infected? Is it lower than before? What is the risk factor of getting COVID now, after infection, compared to the risk of getting another booster. Who is the target demographic for the boosters? Is the original time frame of the booster still in place?
At this point everything is being ignored and I'd say there is a lot of mistrust in what the government is saying.
