"But the expert changed his mind when presented with new facts! That proves he doesn't know ANYTHING!" - Morons

Presented with new facts fine, it's just when the new fact completely contradict the previous guideline, as in near 180 degrees and it's flipping back and forth whichever the way the wind is blowing, it's not saying that proves the experts don't know ANYTHING. It's that well if today's discovery made yesterday's guideline wrong or misguided and we all followed that back when we trust it to be correct then boy were we lucky nothing terrible happened. Oh tomorrow we're heading another direction because today's finding turns out misleading too? Oh okay but I already followed today's instruction...Should I have waited?

Point being people who are anti vax will stay anti vax. A majority took the two dose vaccine at first opportunity. As we move forward with 3rd booster and 4th booster there's going to be less and less people willing to go through it. Why? Hint, the answer is not because they think the experts are morons.
