The tldr is basically:

* Guy vaccinated himself very, very often for reasons unknown.

* We observed interesting things [implied: that we probably would never have observed otherwise because nobody would ever set up a study for this specifically] like mildly elevated levels of spike-specific B cells

* It doesn't look like it made him any more or less protected.

* The guy never caught covid as best as anyone can tell, but other factors (was he a recluse?) can't be ruled out.

* We're not endorsing this as a strategy, we're just writing up interesting stuff since the opportunity arose.

The news media is also widely reporting this. https://www.google.com/search?q=217&tbm=nws

    I dunno, he'd have to get out pretty often to get vaccinated this many times, wouldn't he?

Another incident of someone getting 12 doses over the course of 2021 in India!
