      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/ …

      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.😢

          I know I’m not the expert here but I can’t get past the fact so much of it is so ... MEAN like do these people know that folks are terrified, stressed , justifiably afraid based on history and traumatized

          Exactly. We’ve demonized the concept of “vaccine hesitancy” when it’s entirely rational to have big questions right now about Covid vaccines & we’re always telling people to question healthcare interventions.

          I missed your earlier (pre-pandemic) writings on covering school shootings. With you all the way. It took years to get the press to cover suicide more responsibly too. (And mental health for that matter.) The learning curve takes too long.
