Wat? There is decent evidence to suggest that immunity from the first two doses wanes and that a boosted individual is less likely to get COVID than an unboosted indivdual. Obviously, if you don't get COVID then you can't be a facking incubator for a variant.
Also if you don't get COVID, then you are less likely to infect some vulnerable person.

Maybe vaccinate the rest of the world before handing out third shots and that might help with variants.
Obviously we should do both.

Lol at worrying about variants when plenty of poors need their first shot.
What do you think is going to happen to that dose of vaccine at the local pharmacy that you DON'T get. Here's a hint: it's not going to be sent to Africa to help someone in need. Odds are that it will expire and be discarded. If the vaccine that you were forgoing would be sent to poors elsewhere, then I'd agree with you.
If you were truly making some principled stand about global inequity, I guess I could look the other way. But let's not kid ourselves. That's far from your primary motivation.

Why don't you guys get vaccinated yearly for the flu?
Dafuq is wrong with you? Obviously you should get a flu shot.

Pfizer says the omicron vaccine will be out in March. You gonna get that too? In Israel they getting the 4th shot already. You gonna get that?
Yeah, I'm planning on getting a fourth shot. My booster was not that long ago, so I've got some time before I'm due.

Like I said, gonna need more research to get more shots. Will see how these Israelites do. For now, I am good.
This is the standard anti-vaxxer cop out. You're not one, but you've got the same playbook. You can post research you want to see. If it is something reasonable, then some day in the not too distant future it will be published. At that point you will want some different evidence. It's a tale as old as time.
