    By the way folks, this is correct. Similar to the way how we cover school/mass shootings matter, how and when we cover vaccine hesitancy and mistrust really matters—and can make things worse. These are not topics for half-assed high-profile writing.https://twitter.com/tarahaelle/status/1333898897895419907 …

    I've reported on vaccines & vax hesitancy for 10 yrs—my specialty since I began science journo. My plea to all journalists: STOP focusing on Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy. It's not the issue (right now). FOCUS ON LOGISTICS & EQUITY. https://elemental.medium.com/enough-with-the-hand-wringing-over-covid-19-vaccine-hesitancy-ef0bed6cd0fc … https://healthjournalism.org/blog/2020/09/how-reporting-on-peoples-intent-to-get-a-covid-19-vaccine-can-harm-public-health/ …

        Too bad "half-assed high-profile writing" is basically what all of the ostensible 4th Estate is going for these days...

        What are the odds? It took ~ten years to finally get the idea across that way we cover school shootings matter. Too many unqualified people already on this topic, sadly. I read a terrible example today—factual errors, counterproductive framing, dismissive attitude.😢

        Yep, anti-vaccers are a much smaller problem than accessibility and equitable access for those who are willing!

        Responsible reporting : don't excessively splatter the killer's face, name or manifesto on loop on mass media and front pages. Don't replay the same short video of people running/cowering in fear. It's a snuff film, don't cooperate. Instead focus on victims, report about guns,
