    I wish we weren't allergic to good news involving covid. A lot of really positive data coming out recently. If I just read headlines I would believe the vaccines won't protect me from all the variants and they are only good for like 6 months.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1379064102824316929 …

    More good news. Pfizer has the six month update. *Zero* hospitalizations among the vaccinated vs. 32 among the placebo group (n=46,307). Also real life data from South Africa, where B.1.351 is dominant: zero cases of COVID among the vaccinated vs. nine in the placebo (n=800). pic.twitter.com/2mLOh4LlRN

        Thanks to everyone for all the likes and retweets. Good to know I'm not alone wondering why the national media is so reluctant to headline positive covid data.

        Man if that’s not the truth!! Everything they also put out there about vaccines/variants is based on lab results and not real world data so I’m so happy this came out!

        I assume that this allergy is driven by the fear that good news will lead to less compliance with health guidelines.

        Publishing misleading news with the goal of manipulating behavior is the very definition of propaganda

        I’m so with you on this. I hear so many people parrot this back, and I get dumped on because after being fully vaccinated, I’m not worried. It’s irresponsible reporting, and I can’t hear it anymore from anyone, including people I know.
