    The big fail over the last few months -- and I see it as a messaging fail -- is not making clear how important boosting is.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1491169502331273218 …

    I 100% understand people feeling this way, as I feel it myself, but one very easy, important, thing everyone can do is get boosted and it looks we're just gonna...give up on that and it drives me insane. https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/1491168603114459137 …

        They don't want to emphasize to people that the vaccines wear off

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        a big limiting factor on the messaging front is where do public health officials focus their messaging: on the segment of the population averse to COVID vaccination altogether, or on the segment supportive but perhaps under-informed on the need for boosting in light of Omicron?

        (Omicron and presumably future variants that are no doubt incubating as we speak, given the rich world's relatively lackluster performance in helping the developing world vaccinate)

        I thought federal health authorities were pretty clear that boosting ought to be more focused than the White House has indicated.

        the messaging is weak because when the vaccine came out there was absolutely no acknowledgement that a third may be necessary

        Who would have thought a free and safe vaccination booster would not have been popular? Anyone paying any attention to our media.
