The data I've seen about this has shown that the antibody numbers will slowly dip over time after the initial vaccine shots, but skyrocket after the booster.

I'm not sure what your argument against the booster is beyond the mention of myocarditis (which the CDC addresses here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my...) and "it's a lot of work."

At this point, those of us who can do the maximum amount possible to avoid catching the virus and/or making sure that we mitigate its effects should do so. The most likely risk at this point isn't death, it's ending up in the hospital for enough time that someone else can't get admitted or has to put off an important procedure.

Hear me out - but, I suggest doing the opposite. Get vaccinated, then deliberately expose yourself to the virus every month. If you do that, you'll never get sick, and your immune response will remain high.
