If we think about this globally - just how difficult its going to be to get the vaccine to most of the world - I do think it is very much worth taking a couple more months and trying the same study in people who otherwise wouldn't be first in line. We can only gain from it. 2/2

IMO we often get "oh, no, the public trust will be damaged if we include uncertainty" and then we get stuck on rigid but suboptimal or worse protocols. Masks, distance rules, no in-person K-5 schools, hybrid teaching with Wednesdays off for deep cleaning, no rapid tests, etc.

There is a meaningful percentage of the country's population who are certain that COVID-19 is a hoax and there's a larger percentage, perhaps ~50% of the population, who are likely to refuse vaccination, at least initially. It's easy to overestimate the audience.

Those numbers are at that scale exactly because of a history of *underestimating* the audience which is then worsened by the deliberate misinformation. There is a history here. If you don't trust people, they will never trust you back.
