Not enough time, it takes 2-3 years

How defective is this chip that they need to run a third update already? Woulda thought Gates would have his ducks lined up before rolling this thing out.

Nah this was all part of the plan to make more $$$. Like Apple throttling the speed on old iPhones.

They already make cheap knockoffs in China, but they don't work very well.

The question is if there will be a third fourth fifth "booster"?

There’s not really a question anymore. There obviously will need to be boosters every 6-9 months (obviously if prevalence is low enough in an area one will probably be able to skip a shot now and again).

It's possible that they will be able to adjust the vaccine so it is longer lasting, isn't it?

Not if it keeps mutating, like the flu.

So far there is no information indicating that people who receive a third shot are any better protected.
There is plenty

Would wait a year from my last shot, and would prefer a newer version that is updated to fight the most recent variants. I would take earlier if required for business travel.

Will they offer a third shot to someone that won't take the second?

As long as my antibodies are high I see no benefit in taking anything beyond what I already got.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!
