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

Genuine question. Would we be better off with an increase in vaccine hesitancy and an increase (or maintenance) of mitigation? Or more people getting a vaccine but also many more giving up on mitigation? I would assume the latter, but that might be wrong?
-
I firmly believe the latter would make us better off, and I even more firmly believe that this is, in fact, the choice we will have. We can’t maintain maximum enthusiasm for getting vaccinated and for refraining from hugging Mom. Can’t meaningfully sustain both of those ideas.

For someone so committed to evidence, please supply the evidence that telling people that getting vaccinated will probably lower the likelihood that they will infect others will, like some pneumatic press, drive them to go wild?

wait you don't think it's a reasonable assumption that telling people vaccination protects against transmission and disease will lead to people using masks and other NPIs less often? alas, i don't think we have data either way (hello pandemic), but that's a reasonable assumption

After receiving the 2nd dose of the vaccine and then waiting patiently for 2 weeks, can we keep ours mask in our pockets “just in case we need them” instead of our face? Asking for a friend.

Of course we can. South Dakota already did.

I'm much more afraid of people giving up on vaccines than getting vaccinated and going wild.
