Vaccination blunts, but does not defeat Delta

So if I'm understanding you:

I am planning on taking my Governor's cheekily endorsed thumbs up to get a 3rd shot. I'm going to get JJ because it's not the same RNA spike target.

That's probably better than a 3rd RNA shot (no reformulated)?

To be clear, right now there's no scientific literature that conclusively supports your suggestion here.

A better takeaway from my comment and OP would be that there is evidence we must diversify our viral elimination strategies at a population level.

It might actually be best to for you personally to stick with the same vaccines you had previously, but I'm going to stop there because you should consult your doctor for decisions like that.

moderna and pfizer are different. different enough for moderna to be more efficient with delta and pfizer more efficient with alfa
