I think that the booster is chosen to be a different type from the first treatment in order to provoke a different type of immune response.
I am in a vulnerable group, and yes, it's true, that you can catch Covid, and then in the, right circumstances, pass it on even if double-jabbed. However there are two points often missed by anti-vaxxers.
(1) The jabs really do reduce the severity of an infection. In my case, down to a moderate cold with a cough, but no lowering of blood oxygen, breathing difficulties or other side effects. (2) Keeping you out of a need for intensive care, and thus saving a bed in the NHS.
I have no problem with people rejecting vaccination, but believe that such people should be told on infection to isolate and bear the consequences. If they survive, brilliant, but if they don't - tough.
If the not-vaccines "really do reduce the severity of an infection" then why starting from late July did we see daily numbers of deaths up to ten times greater than at the corresponding time last year before the introduction of the magical elixirs? If the hastily-concocted substances were merely useless wouldn't it be reasonable to expect a similar situation this year? These respiratory illnesses are largely seasonal and so here in the northern hemisphere do most damage in autumn and winter - at the height of summer very few people should be dying. I do understand that facing uncomfortable truths is not everyone's cup of tea, but reality can't be banished by closing your eyes.

Accepting another poisonous shot, when the previous two have failed, reminds me of Einstein's famous comment about insanity.

Choosing not to have this vaccine does not make someone an anti-vaxxer.
"...reminds me of Einstein's famous comment about insanity."
How long before no 4?
"I think that the booster is chosen to be a different type from the first treatment in order to provoke a different type of immune response."
And with frequent mutation, how long until we run out of options?
" I do understand that facing uncomfortable truths is not everyone's cup of tea, but reality can't be banished by closing your eyes."
It's certainly never worked before. But maybe this time..!
"Choosing not to have this vaccine does not make someone an anti-vaxxer."
I'm double-jabbed, but have so far not bothered with the booster. It certainly doen't make me an anti-vaxxer.
