Good points and I didn't think you were being anything but kind and concerned. Frankly I'm surprised if his doctor really did say he needn't bother with the boosters given my sister's situation.  The brother-in-law isn't malicious and he treats my sister well in everything else, I just wish he was a little more vigilant and diligent in getting information and applying it to his and my sister's circumstances.

Honestly, folks get the funniest of notions!
I was talking to a paddling companion today who was a lifelong forester and he had hopes that our summer of #WildfireSmoke was a "one-off"!?! That was astonishing to me.

I think he's "hoping" in the same way I "hope" for zero-calorie ice cream.  I think we should both probably use the word "wish" instead going forward.
