I've noticed that after close contact with those who get frequent shots and boosters I acquire phlegm in the back of my throat for a few days following. I'm pretty sure they are shedding, and if I take antibiotics the phlegm goes away. I've never had COVID, and no one close to me has ever tested positive. Is there a window when shedders are more contagious, or is it continuous because they are boosting on a regular time frame? I can't find much online profiling the shedding process and what to expect.

Good to know. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00076-9 explains that one of the problems mRNA vaccines had to solve was that cells detect the alien RNA and destroy it. They solved it by replacing one of the building blocks with an analog one, which is not used by nature. This means that not only the friend-foe detection gets tricked, but also all the enzymes that make RNA short lived.
