The organizers considered A, B, and C, and chose B. An attendee asked why not C, and I wrote up my personal views on why I don’t think C is a good choice.
(I was trying pretty hard not to get into the object level stuff here, but ok, let’s go. On why I don’t rank A very highly, I think vaccination, especially the initial series, is great at protecting the recipient from the severe effects of covid. In terms of protecting others, which is the main thing that matters if you’re deciding whether to restrict some people from attending the event, I think someone who had covid three months ago is probably less of a risk to others than someone who was boosted nine months ago. Other people’s vaccination status just isn’t a very good proxy for how much risk they pose.)
