I watch This Week in Virology occasionally. A discussion among virology professors. Vincent Racaniello who kind of seems to run TWiV has been skeptical about boosters. His argument is that they're not needed (unless you got the J&J) because your first 2 vaccinations will protect you from serious illness. You might something akin to a nasty cold but you'll be protected from hospitalization or worse. His argument is also that we need to get the rest of the world fully vaccinated before we start looking at boosters here in the US.
Also, Pfizer is only looking at antibody responses here, not T-Cell & memory B cell responses and other parts of the immune system that were primed by vaccination.
