So... did he seek the vaccinations...or... was that some weird fluke of the healthcare system?

A 62-year-old man from Germany has, against medical advice, been vaccinated 217 times against Covid, doctors report.

...

The shots were bought and given privately within the space of 29 months.

To me, this would suggest that he got them himself intentionally.

They "opened an investigation with the allegation of fraud, but no criminal charges were brought." So, yeah. They at least had some reason to think he was doing this intentionally.

There was another guy from Eastern Europe who got a lot of Covid shots. While the lockdown you sometimes needed a vaccination certificate to do some things and there were several anti-vax people who did want such certificates without getting vaccinated. So they either had to find someone willing to take their shot (and a doctor that didn’t do real identity checks) or they had to get a counterfeit certificate. There were some cases, where people got dozens of shots and sold their certificates.
