I could care less about anecdotal reports that the cousin of a friend of a twitter follow says low-priority groups are kinda vaccine hesitant & it’s the fault of actual experts communicating badly when high-priority communities who deeply want access to vaccines aren’t getting ithttps://twitter.com/KYT_ThatsME/status/1359201716881752064 …

And several journalists and scientists with far more expertise in covering vaccine hesitancy (self not included) have pointed out that she’s incorrect about how communicating uncertainty leads to hesitancy. When that happens she gets defensive and moves the goalposts.

Angie, the very PROBLEM is how the uncertainty is communicated!

I consume a lot of news, especially as a journalist, and the vast majority of experts I saw only said they don't know about transmission effect & didn't say vaccines will probably decrease transmission. Doesn't mean all experts did this.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Man! Someone pointed me here. *waves at subtweet* There’s a lot of claims here about things I did NOT say or claim (like no scientist is saying this? Whenever did I day that? Plus, I’m talking about what the public is hearing from authorities & media, not scientists on Twitter.)

Also it’s pretty easy to hold multiple thoughts here. Pointing out one problem doesn’t mean the others don’t exist. Access, equity, historical mistrust... None of those mean they can’t be a *different* problem with a particular message that may affect another group.
