Thread. Communicating uncertainty requires monitoring and understanding how it’s heard and disseminated. See next tweet, too. Best approach is.. straight up communicating the uncertainty rather than optimizing message for desired behavior because than we get neither.https://twitter.com/hankgreen/status/1341165998674567169 …

Replying to @zeynep
Zeynep is your sense that the message is unduly fatalistic about the vaccine improving the daily life of people who get it anytime soon? (That's what I feel like I'm hearing, but maybe my hope that life will become less unbearable pretty quickly post-vaccine is unwarranted.)

Replying to @michelleinbklyn
Yes, but with a "but". The upside is excellent and near, but we are not out of the woods, yet, and there are dangers that we need to work against. So it's not that we're doomed till 2022. It's that this is excellent but let's play the (still painful) fourth quarter right.
