Hey Jon

Jon, it would be worth getting the additional shots. My completely unprofessional advice is that it shouldn't hurt you, and it might be the only way to build immunity. I wish you the best results as you go forward, and it's great you have excellent professional support for your options.

Wow, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.
Would it make a difference if you'd increase the volume of a dose? Like, take three shots at once?

Well the response is dose dependent so something like that. The problem is no institution will do that today except as part of a registered clinical trial.
I’ll likely do it my own sneaky way at some point. Keep in mind there’s still hope for a B-cell and T-cell response.

Maybe you find this interesting? Maybe you've already seen it.
-
@jon-nyc, no word on T-cell and B-cell memories yet?
Sorry it looks like this makes you more dependent on others getting vaccinated, on herd immunity.
-
Jon, are you getting the same Pfizer shot, or have you considered mixing them up? I heard a discussion on the radio the other day that there's a theory that using different vaccines could increase their effectiveness. For obvious reasons, it's not something that was tested in development.
-
The theory is that two different vaccines is a bit like showing your immune systems two different profiles of the same face. It made sense to my totally uneducated brain, but those damn doctors probably know better.
-
Well, they just thought that, since the Pfizer response is dose dependent, it would be the most straightforward way.
@jon-nyc sending positive thoughts (and antibodies) to you!
