I don't feel any need to "get away with it" and avoid questions.  I'll go, when the guidance indicates I should.  The guidance is based on THE SCIENCE, so I'm good with following that.

I had a friend go and claim a co-morbidity. 

As we've discussed, all but the most slender on this board likely qualify. (I've not gone, though I need the flu shot since I get some money for it)

I have a history of bronchial infections (used to get 2-3 times per year - none since having Covid) and pneumonia (4 times total - been 6 years).

And I'd guess that is, even if not officially listed as such, the sort of health history that would make someone under 65 want the booster despite the lack of an official recommendation that it's necessary. 

I'm not saying that the recommendation that people 65 and over get the booster means that we should make it illegal for a 64 year old to get one. That'd be daft. Health care is individual.

I am saying that there is value in identifying groups more likely to be high risk or low risk as groups, so typical people in those groups can identify relative risk. If you're atypical, i.e. if you have a propensity to have bronchial infections or pneumonia, then you need to substitute your own judgement and the recommendation of your own primary care physician who is familiar with your health history, rather than blindly following a recommendation. 

We do have SCOTUS precedents for mandatory vaccinations back in 1906 or so.

Old precedents may have been traversed by Amendments.  But old precedents not still carry some weight, stare decisis.

I have no idea how the current SCOTUS would rule on mandated vaccinations, it might depend on some technicality.

pretty hard to rule against freedom

We have been trying to get my dad in AZ transferred from a stand alone ER to a hospital since about 5 p.m. central time. Eight hours later he is approved to go 70-miles away. No room in Tucson, tonight. Spread of COVID is pretty strong there, and in Iowa very strong here, too. Nationwide going down, but we are peaking in Iowa and AZ.

He is non-COVID.
