    great so then let's just lie to people and express certainty about something we don't know that will definitely help us in the long run 🙃🙃🙃https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1359328328264658949 …

    So, I'm not going to tag all the folks I've had disagreements with for *months* now, since December, who didn't believe me that our bungled messaging on post-vaccine transmission was fueling vaccine hesitancy. 😬How many examples have we heard now? I hear this every single day. https://t.co/AmOgwNgx39

        Has anyone explained that anecdotes and stories that you hear every day on social media aren’t actual data?

        I actually have confidence that most folks can read/interpret correctly and even read a tweet down! But yes, if this were the general level of reading comprehension, I would worry. Thankfully, I do have some certainty that it is not.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1359330217454624771 …

        To make it clear, the remedy isn't to give false or unsubstantiated hope, but to get out of the "we don't know" trap when we *do* have some sense of the direction, but need more clarity with data (which we can say), and also to emphasize the real upside!

        but there's conflicting evidence from animal models and human data about whether there's infection after vaccination. this is an opportunity to bring people into what science looks like: sometimes we don't know, and that's the answer. we WILL know. we don't yet.
