    As she says. We need a plan to deal with such events—rapid response, protection for the individuals caught up, policies for institutions, etc. Can’t just say “rare event” (even though true!) in a statement and leave it at that.https://twitter.com/noUpside/status/1340394850005356544 …

    Anti-vaccine activists are currently brigading the social media account of a hospital where a nurse who fainted after her COVID-19 shot works. They’re claiming she died, the hospital is covering it up, and they are demanding proof of life.

        2020 has shown the enduring feature of the US is how thrilling it is to tell “oppressors” to get lost From BLM to Trump rallies to “disproving” the vax or Covid narrative...we absolutely love it Pics of Obama or Pence getting the vax miss the point entirely

        What I am most worried about is that vaccination starts with the elderly, who have a highish baseline mortality rate. Some of them are going to die the next day of any day. Cue the antivax FB posts about "My Granny got her Covid shot yesterday and now she's dead". PR nightmare.

        Not saying that we could do better than by starting with older people, though. Only that stats gurus may want to preemptively prepare us laypeople for the built-in statistical quirk. Lest the piling-up of sad anecdotes get viral and vaccine compliance plummet.

        I’m so sick of stupid people believing memes and videos other stupid people post on FB and Instagram. I’m sorry but I’m past worrying about them.
