For a 'healthy' individuals. I figure if 3 shots is better than 2 shots, does that mean 4 shots is better than 3 shots?

Take advice from doctors, not the internet, and most definitely not Lemmy.
Is reddit and 4Chan better than Lemmy for medical advice?
You might be healthy, but you shouldnt think only about yourself. Pharma companies made record profits from vaccination programs (for which governments spent billions of euros of tax money). If people stop getting vaccinated, the profits will fall, and stock value will decrease. It could even be the trigger for an economic crisis.
So you should definitely get more booster shots, and tell others to do the same. I hope this simple economic argument can convince some of those egoistic anti-vaxers.
I'm not an ati-vaxxer but that argument would discourage me from getting vaccinated, knowing big pharma is making profit from it.
That's his point. It's thinly disguised anti-vax nonsense from an anti-capitalist perspective.
No
Note that none if this is medical advice. The jury is still out on how long covid immunity actually lasts, but we do know that it definitely isn't lifetime immunity like some other diseases. So I suspect that getting more boosters later on would be helpful, but probably not very soon after you already had one. That is, if the vaccine formulation is unchanged. If they release a new version that better defends against the new variants, then obviously that would have immediate benefits.
Yeah pretty much this
Under those assumptions, yes, so long as the benefits are either equal or exponentially greater than the benefits from getting prior shots

Preliminary results from israel's 4th shots should help us answer this question : "antibodies goes up five times" ! OK, but ... are those antibodies still very effective ? We have no better option than reading the results when the studies are published.
