      Carl T. Bergstrom Retweeted Nate Silver

      It’s not a safe assumption at all. The survey went out in late April and asked about behavior over the past month. To be fully vaccinated by April 1, one would have needed to be eligible in February. I and many of my colleagues under age 65 were not eligible until April.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1392446275375833089 …

      Assuming nearly all are vaccinated by this point—which I assume is a fairly safe assumption (the survey is limited to the US)—my takeaway is that epidemiologists are extremely risk-averse, much more so than public health guidelines say they need to be. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/12/upshot/epidemiologists-survey-virus-hugs-haircuts.html … pic.twitter.com/YNgggaf0P6

      Carl T. Bergstrom Retweeted Nate Silver

      Update: here’s Nate‘s reasoning. I would’ve thought it prudent to check to see if all of these “carve outs” that he was predicating his argument even exist. In many states they don’t.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1392460535925547008 …

      I guess I was thinking that most epidemiologists would qualify under some or another category that most states carve out (e.g. health care worker, state employee, university faculty). But yeah I wish there had been a question about vaccination.

      I helped set up the vaccine clinic for my hospital and I still had to wait a few weeks until I was eligible. What a ridiculous tweet by @NateSilver538

          He should stick to being wrong about elections.

          Nate also misses that almost all medical lifestyle advice isn’t risk-stratified.
