I get the impression they aren't really legit protesters, so much as astroturfers.

It's pretty clear that whatever legitimate protesting was intended by anyone at all, it was corrupted from the get-go (and from the top) before it even got rolling. And yet they're gonna cry "government oppression" against the hardworking little people. It's all smoke and mirrors.
On the main subject: I've been trying to decide when the best time to go get my booster shot should be: I recovered from Covid at the end of January (my booster was scheduled for right in the middle of my infection). I hear that it's recommended that you wait awhile (as much as three months) before getting boosters after an infection. I don't know if I want to wait that long. To make matters more complicated, my teenaged kids are up for their boosters. But do we wait? There is almost NO WAY that they didn't get infected when I had it, but they remained asymptomatic. My wife as well (she should have been boosted while I was sick, but they told her to come back later, in case of infection).

What's the medical rationale for waiting? To reduce risk of the vaccine making you sick?

I can't say I really know, but the Pharmacist told my wife to wait because the booster was not as effective if you were infected, even if asymptomatic. Some literature (that I did not read fully) suggested that studies imply that three months from infection is ideal. I don't know if I want to wait that long.

The Ontario Government was going to announce a reduction in restrictions around this time anyway, but now these wingnuts will use that to declare a victory over "their oppressors."

You want your immune system at a baseline so that it has a strong response / update. Too close to an active infection of the same agent blunts the response since your body thinks that the detected antigens are just the tail end of the same infection.
When my barber caught COVID- which changed his anti-vax mindset- he was told he needed to wait 90 days after testing negative before getting his first shot.
As others noted, it is probably because it’s the best way to ensure the best immune response from the injection with the least chance of side effects.

Protesters apparently getting a bit funky. Some have been their for a week no showers or baths. Public fountains and rain. Portaloos ate apparently rank.

That's got to be confusing. Definitely a question for your doctor, not Joe Bob on the Internet.

Well yeah, I was more chatting about it than expecting to follow advice. On the other hand, my doctor is near impossible to speak to, such is the state of our medical system.
