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.

Immune systems are shared within a community of people. If the people around you are more sick then you will likely be more sick.

Unfortunately, I work with libshit vaxxers and they are pushing us back into a hybrid work setup. I may just have to quit. 3 years+ without getting so much as a cold with WFH versus getting sick 2-3 times a year in the office. I'm constantly surrounded by overweight, unhealthy programmers and their sickness and demoralizing appearance is contagious.
