... is three separate vaccines recommended practice anywhere or does this count as stupid games, stupid prizes?
Stupid games, stupid prizes. At most you're going to get recommended a single round of the two-dose variant, one now and one in 3-6 weeks. After that there should be no reason why a person should need a separate vaccine variant from another manufacturer, but there's morons out there that are collecting vaccine stamps like kids collect Pokemon. I guess they're using the logic of "if one vaccination is good then MORE IS BETTER".
These are the same morons that scream "FOLLOW THE SCIENCE" and believe that the Delta Variant spontaneously generated because everyone else didn't get vaccinated in time or weren't wearing masks.
That's probably why they stopped calling it the India Variant, because it's hard to blame Americans for India being a petri dish.
I figure that the whole Greek lettering version iteration is because they wanted to avoid the original right-wing stigma of COVID being labeled the Wuhan Virus or the Chinese Flu. They went so hard on the narrative against prior naming schemes (e.g. Spanish Flu) that there was no way they were going to let the Indian variant be branded by its location of origin.
No. With the exception of the Chinese vaccine they all use the same spike protein, so there's no point mixing it up.
They might all use the same spike protein, but minor contamination, instructional differences and just bodily overload (for example mRNA side effects, compounded with standard dead cell effects) can make all the difference.
It's why even if medication is very similar they recommend not mixing to be safe and that's for short term medication like pain killers.
For something that will sit in your system for months, years, indefinitely, yeah.
