      But we *have* had many people asking about prevention of transmission, and we have an obligation to answer that accurately & transparently, as well as provide guidance on what to do/not do after being vaccinated.

      I think we are bad at saying “we don’t know” and giving our best simple guess. Instead we say we don’t know and experts debate hypotheticals in the public sphere. I think that is confusing and disheartening to many people. Which often undermines what we do know.

      In fact, the science journalists who are writing articles about this and saying “we don’t know” (like me) *are* providing the additional context & explanation. You’re kinda proving my point: we need science journalists w experience in vaccine reporting to do these articles.

      I do wonder if we need to fragment social media so that scientific discussions aren't misinterpreted, amplified in weird ways, and then propagated as some sort of threat to civil society. I even saw one prominent voice call our discussions a "crime against public health."

      Prominent, yes, but sadly not an expert.

      She sure thinks she is in a lot of different subfields... or at least that the expertise of actual experts isn’t relevant. It’s maddening.

      From CV scan, no background in public hlth, no acad. pubs articles to my knowledge on public hlth issues, but uses public forum spots to opine broadly & thus gets viewed/legitimated as an expert, which puts her at center of convo. Doubt NYTs quote on profile there ironically. 1/

      2/ Basically, a Silver/Yglesias big follower bandwidth COVID19 opiner w/PhD in some curiously unnamed area on CV/Wikipedia, but other degrees named. Among few cases where "Stay in your lane" arises for me. No issue w/ soc sci/(soc) media issues in pandemic.

      3/3 That's her area, but I see little engagement w/public hlth world/scholarship. RCT op-ed and resulting engagement in debate was odd.

      Actually, if we’re talking about health and science communication about vaccines, *I* am the expert. I actually do have a peer-reviewed paper on it, I’ve presented at conferences, I’ve given a half dozen keynotes to orgs like AAP, immunization action coalitions, and

          It takes *a lot* for me to trot out my CV like that, but don’t tell me you’re the expert and I’m not when it comes to sci comm about vaccines.
