I’ve been seeing a meme floating around in the past couple days that goes something like this: Picture of a completely jacked male “I’ve been using fake identities to get the shot at dozens of clinics around the city…vaxxmaxxing has changed me” Obviously this is a joke, or maybe not, who knows…but what would happen if someone vaxxmaxxed? Getting dozens of covid-19 vaccines in a short period of time? ---

IANAL but since the feds are paying for all of them, at some point charges of fraud or deception, unlawful taking? ---

I assume the OP is asking about the health effects if you receive multiple COVID-19 shots in rapid succession (within a few hours or day or two). I am reasonably sure it will not provide any benefit whatsoever\*. If more vaccine was better then shots would have more vaccine in them (probably…less in a given shot means more vaccinations can be administered so there is probably an ideal amount they arrive at to maximize effectiveness and being able to vaccinate a large population). I am not sure if there is a point where more vaccine is actively harmful. I’d think there is but I have no idea. \*The Astra Zeneca vaccine actually seemed to show better results with less vaccine administered on the first shot. Not sure if further data has supported that or not. ---

If people are actually doing this, they’re increasing chances of reactions without conceivable benefit. Hopefully it’s just nimrods telling lies online. ---
