What's this?

That’s such an unacceptable burden though.

I mean who has time for a 3rd shot to reduce their chance at death by a factor of 17x. My booster actually took 45 minutes out of my day. 45 MINUTES. I did it once, but never again. If I need another booster in 6 months, I’m telling my doctor, no way. If you guys can’t make it perfect, I’m not wasting 45 minutes of my time for a mere 17x reduction in risk of death.
