      Weak yes - which is why we need the study. However, the data we DO have shows a 92% efficacy among people without a second dose. I don't see how this is so weak we should not seriously consider it. 2/983 vs 28/1059. Durability unknown - some ppl go out to 108 days.

      Key word there: "scientific debate." Not "public newspaper debate."

      I hear the concern & I think about this a lot. I think the idea something will stay out of the public discussion is not realistic. Do you remember that cloth mask study among healthcare workers? Which found surgical masks were better? (duh) It's had so much public discussion!

      Senators tweeted about it, it went viral, got written up so much (misrepresented). It was a small study in a small journal! The journal ended up having to add an addendum. Barely helped. Anyway. Things can't be walled off. Totally open to how to communicate better!

      Research (especially disaster sociology) says accountability and transparency help, but it is a rapidly changing environment so we're all going with some sense of things as we see them, here. And I think detailed explanations are good but always worth thinking about framing.

      So I appreciate the feedback! As an addition, data-wise, I am particularly concerned that there won't be sufficient resources to track down and provide booster to older people who clearly are higher risk but more likely to miss it. (HCW will not miss it).

      Broadly, yes, misinfo can't be walled off. Hence, all about how to either optimally address when such studies like the mask study get attention by influencers and are used in bad/unhelpful ways or in rare cases get ahead of the unwarranted hype.

      So this is too interesting to discuss in tweets, but my sense is that the best way to get ahead of it is to run with it, before they do, but in an accurate and comprehensive way. Acknowledge shortcomings, etc. Somewhat based on research on "data voids" +

          ..but I agree there is no single easy way and hence I think these are really important, valuable discussions. If single dose trial is a good idea, I prefer that we run with it, along with all the caveats before the reckless versions gets out there (and it will). That's my sense.

          But as discussed, not if the sci/empirical evid. jury is still out. Good idea or not a different issue from concern/goal to address misinfo abt it and its potential impacts. Comes down to framing for a lay audience & using tactics like eg truth sandwich... 1/
