This is how I feel. This is a wonderful moment where a switch to Dragon is easy and safe. Starliner is probably fine, but Dragon is clearly safer right now. Who cares about ISS scheduling changes and modified Starliner certification requirements?

I just checked prediction markets and they seem to think Starliner has a 20-30% chance. I think that's way too high.
