> Extremely tiny risk of serious side effects.

How tiny? It matters. Your risk of a bad outcome from Covid-19 is extremely tiny.

(Also, by the way: the costs are greater than what you pay for the shot. Miss a day of work? Spend a day in bed? That's a cost.)

> it benefits everybody you probably won't infect if you get exposed to the virus.

We have no evidence of this, nor do we have any reason to believe elevated antibody levels will continue indefinitely. Antibodies from the third shot will wane, just as the antibodies from the second shot waned, and antibodies always wane after antigen exposure. It's how our immune systems work.
