........ and for those that missed the point that I was attempting to illustrate above - what this really all boils down to is individual immune systems, possibly even including individual gut bacteria, etc-etc-etc. Not my place to tell others what is best for them and their bodies as I have no idea what their overall personal health condition, age, etc, is, but when a collective group is considered, you know, like an entire country, sometimes hard decisions have to be made. And with a moving target, best guesses based on the
science available at the time may be required.

Who Is Dying from COVID Now and Why - Scientific American
"Because a large portion of the U.S. population has at least one COVID shot, the majority of deaths are now among vaccinated people. In July

That doesn’t mean the vaccines are not working anymore; they are still highly effective at reducing the risks of severe illness and death. But their efficacy wanes over time, and continued boosters need to be combined with other precautions to prevent illness and death. In August, people age 50 and older who were vaccinated and had just one booster were three times more likely to die than people with two or more boosters, according to the CDC."
