Benefits of a 4th shot just not that noticeable.

I pay little attention to the CEOs of Pfizer & Moderna applying for approval & recommending a 4th shot. Because they will make billions from a 4th shot. Doctors won't.
And the constant stimulation of our immune systems with shot after shot is just a bit too high of OTHER risks to me; some of which are mentioned in these articles.
If I get a 4th shot it will be next year. Unless, of course, some other variant comes out that is worse than all the other ones & another shot is developed.
