Important caveat from @DhruvKhullar: "we know for sure that the vaccines...prevent severe illness in almost all people who are inoculated...we’re not yet certain that the vaccines can prevent people from becoming infected or infecting others."https://www.newyorker.com/science/medical-dispatch/how-getting-vaccinated-will-and-wont-change-my-behavior …

Right now, there's widespread perception that these vaccines will not prevent infectiousness (rather than, they may well do so but we'll know more shortly) that life will not change even in 2021, and an anti-vaxxer message going wild, unopposed, on that. This is reality.

I have seen a lot of messaging that by mid-2021 we can get substantially back to "normal". Can we do better getting that out? Of course! Does the fact that it hasn't 100% permeated everyone's thinking mean the message is no change indefinitely? No it does not.

I don't think it's an accusation malice but I do think it's effectively an insinuation that for some reason scientists won't get behind public health guidance that's ahead of the data. If you tell people the vaccines do something we don't know they do, more people can die.
