I appreciate your writing and you’re right about 98% of the time which is rare on twitter. Maybe it was your boss, maybe it was the comments, but it opened up a lot of valid and important dialogue and you’ve come around quickly. All in all, this whole dialogue was a positive.

Kudos accepting the criticism and changing you opinion. One key issue is gaining public trust IMHO.Several polls have shown that even as of now most people wouldn’t get the vaccine.If you give it out w/out minimally assessing efficacy, the unintended conseq. could b disastrous.
