Clearly I'm reading this quite late, but I'm thoroughly impressed by both the breadth and depth of your research into this question. I'd never heard of original antigenic sin, and it certainly is something interesting to consider. It's clear that you're not particularly ideologically motivated when it comes to COVID given all the qualifications you append to most of your claims and how your proscriptions don't fit neatly on either side of the political divide. I'll definitely share this with people who are more COVID-paranoid. Thank you for all your work!

There’s another cost for young healthy people . It’s not good for your mental health to obsess over very small risks , to the point where you’re convinced to start taking an experimental medical treatment a couple of times per year in order to combat those very small risks . And another opportunity cost . In the time you take off to get vaccinated you could be watching a movie , doing sports , picking up girls Etc . All much better uses of your time .
