      My question is why? Why, Andy, would so many Americans refuse a med (mRNA vax) w such amazing efficacy/safety? I wonder whether trust in science and health leadership plays a role It’s why I think Medicine should be as neutral, open and apolitical as possible #medtwitterhttps://twitter.com/ASlavitt/status/1434225973596024836 …

      We’ve now given out 5.4 billion shots across the globe. 45 countries, almost all of whom began well after the US, have now fully vaccinated more of their population than the US. 2/

      Well Josh, I admit, “essentially” was doing a lot of work I leave it up for everyone to see Other than timing, tho, which was off in certain geographies, the core issue in that Tweet: risk tolerance of a C19 vs other risks remains the main tension in the US. See CFB last Sat

      I do genuinely think that the very common message that the pandemic was/is 'over' has been picked up and used as a reason not to vaccinate, and not just by the cranks

      That makes no sense though - there’s no measles pandemic but I still got my kids the shot

      Sure, but the regular childhood schedule is a very different kettle of fish in numerous ways
