Thank you for asking. in my judgment, I no longer recommend vaccination as a function that the virus had evolved into a harmless entity. It is a “SUMMER COLD”. They used to be bad, and they still are. I am seeing a ton of (+) tests only because we cannot stop testing for unknown reasons. I do not even recommend testing anymore. In rare cases of immunosuppression I might consider it were I going to start paxlovid, however that is few and far between.

Chest radiology is not demonstrating any pneumonia. It is a cold. In good faith I do not see that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks which in my judgment are relatively modest. Delta went ripping through the Southeast one year ago exactly. August 2021 was like a war zone. There is little doubt that those vaccinated were incredibly unlikely to progress to death. Yes, there were breakthrough infections, but I did not preside over a single death in a vaccinated patient during the dark days of delta. I am of th opinion that the vaccine is now like th influenza vaccine — if you have little risk, I dont really recommend it. If you have significant risk , I might consider it, but as a rule of thumb, I do not think they are necessary, particularly boosters yearly.

It is however a personal choice and I do not object if people wish to get boosted. It is time to move on. CoVID is endemic an relatively mild. As I always said, the pandemic will end when we, the people., say it ends. That time is at hand.

I would say the same thing if I were you. Move along, nothing to see here and especially lets not look back there.

We’ll see if this strategy works out. U.S. Americans are pretty dumb.

If it doesn’t work out... historically, Brazil is an option in situations like this.
