I'll let a few of you others go first -- the second M shot kicked my ass in April, and lingered for a while. But I like the idea of a smaller dose.
Speaking of waning effectiveness, this non-peer reviewed study of VA patients was interesting (J&J yikes!):
Specifically, in March, protection against infection was: 88% (95% CI, 87% to 89%) for Janssen; 92% (95% CI, 92% to 93%) for Moderna; and 91% (95% CI, 91% to 92%) for Pfizer-BioNTech. By August, protection against infection had declined to: 3% (95% CI, -7% to 12%) for Janssen; 64% (95% CI, 62%-66%) for Moderna; and 50% (95% CI, 47% to 52%) for Pfizer-BioNTech.

Maybe Pangloss and Neph and others have some thoughts on it.
