>when you know the answer lol. but no he's my primary.
I wasn't needling you, we have doctors who *are both* PCPs (internal medicine) and Infectious Disease specialists where I work.
>so no, i'm not worried about dying of covid, but if i do i'll >let ya know
Reasons I hear you aren't getting boosted now: * Unless vaccine is sterilizing and/or prevents infection longer than this vaccine does then it's not worth it. (Or at least not worth it at this time.)
* Not worried any more due to previous infection experience.
* Scientific studies don't reflect personal experience.
I'm just a guy on the internet, but I think the reasons you gave don't change *my personal* view on the vaccines yet, but I'll bet many people are thinking the same way you are.
This does seem like a public health messaging challenge for the government, because it seems like I'm hearing here from you (and others) that even if vaccines do provide some protection that unless it's nearly 100% effective for a longer period of time that it seems not very urgent to most people right now.
