    This is how @stltoday decided to play and headline a story that 0.03% of people who have been vaccinated in St. Louis County later tested positive, resulting in two hospitalizations and 0 deaths so far.pic.twitter.com/YRtTJlRR1m

        So not the time to bust out the Pearl Harbor Attacked headline style you're saying?

        In general, when “as expected” appears at the end of the lede, I’m going to question a large banner headline.

        smh ... That is shameful and does a disservice to the public and to the reporters who were doing their job writing a balanced report with context.

        Yes! The story isn’t bad! It even says “as expected” in the lede.

        I’m reading the people who do the headlines don’t actually work for the newspaper? They’re in Indiana? And not associated with the journalists. Which is... not good, but also not the fault of said journalists.

        Also, the claim that this is the "first public acknowledgement" of this occurrence is just complete and utter BS. What a shitty headline, coupled with a shitty first paragraph. Way to keep your readers informed. 🙄

        The anti vaxxers are going to use this now, even though yesterday they were calling the post "fake news"
