One consistent lesson from COVID is you should trust the experts' evidence (e.g. studies that show mRNA boosters really boost protection in people who got the AZ vaccine) more than their proscriptive advice (e.g. "I wouldn't get a booster) when the two are in conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Another example of the logic I find confusing. Sure, one-shot J&J may provide decent protection against Delta and better-than-decent against severe illness from Delta. But why wouldn't you want the VERY good protection you might get from an mRNA booster? https://t.co/azfOuIKTgC https://t.co/VJtnl412WH — PolitiTweet.org

In this case, I'd guess that experts are reluctant to get out ahead of the CDC (which I'd bet large $ will *eventually* endorse boosters but hasn't yet) and/or to encourage the mildly shady behavior you'd have to go through get a booster now. But that's not really science per se. — PolitiTweet.org
