      15/18 Here’s what we know abt Covid vaccines: they’re very safe. They have some anaphylactic reactions that have been well managed & caused no deaths. They’ve been extremely effective in clinical trials. We expect the same in real life. We don’t know if they prevent transmission.

      16/18 The final italicized paragraphs in Leonhardt’s piece are pretty good messaging. And they ARE what public health experts are conveying. But they’re doing it smartly, relying on research about vaccine hesitancy & using evidence-based communication to build public trust.pic.twitter.com/2YshofKafS

      17/18 @DLeonhardt, on the other hand, is undermining public health by framing his “trust how great the vaccine is” message in the context of claiming that experts aren’t being honest with the public. I genuinely don’t know a better way to give anti-vaccine advocacy oxygen.

      18/fin I’ll have a blog post at AHCJ coming soon on this bc I’m so frustrated w vaccine hot takes from journalists who lack experience & knowledge abt vaccine reporting. The stakes are high for irresponsible, ignorant reporting: harming public health.https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2019/03/writing-about-vaccine-hesitancy-theres-a-study-for-that/ …

      adding 19/ I should add: the quotes from @DrPaulOffit @ashishkjha @PeterHotez & @AaronRichterman are great. All are spot on & cld have been well used in a thoughtful article about how we're underselling the vaccine—in the hands of a reporter who understands the vaccine landscape.

      In reality, as it often is the case, it took someone outside the wagon circling mindset to write the very overdue article! This has been a problem since December and everytime I and others raised it, we got wagon-circling. With this mindset, we won’t learn anything. Tragic, tbh.

      Is it remotely conceivable that the people who disagree with you might be right or have any valid points? Or is it written in stone that you're right and the "wagon circlers" are wrong?

      I ask because it's difficult to think of an instance in which you haven't been absolutely certain you were right and immunologists/virologists/epidemiologists were wrong and some might view that as a red flag as to the soundness of your arguments.

      Experts of course can be wrong and should admit when we/they are. But if your through-line is that they're *always* wrong I think you are just undermining science more than anyone frankly and it comes across as very prior-driven rather than data-driven.

      Who said they're always wrong? Plus, on things not in my direct field, I am obviously super duper cautious and thus my track record. But here we're talking about something directly in my field here, public sphere an communication. If we are deferring to expertise, I'm the expert.

      Except I’m not so sure that you are “super duper cautious.”
