> Most of them are making the assumption that they have lasting immunity, but I'm going so far as to have my antibody levels checked. It's been several months and they are still in excess of what would be expected from having been vaccinated, so I see no benefit to getting vaccinated.

Wouldn't getting vaccinated then be comparable to vaccine + booster, giving you even better protection?

I didn't know you could do this. How do you get your antibody levels checked?

I have blood drawn quarterly to keep tabs on a potential issue that runs in my family, and it’s just an added test I asked to have performed. I don’t know how much it costs off the top of my head, but I get it done through Quest Diagnostics.

The typical report is binary - you either have antibodies or you don’t. I had to specifically request additional detail, but it was available.
