      I sent a note to friends on Monday talking through data and my views on single shot vs. double-shot vaccination approaches, especially relative to proliferation of B117 covid variant, and how US and UK are thinking differently. This part continues to baffle me, and many others.pic.twitter.com/ULQYEUMxy0

      UK is not doing this. @zeynep debunked the NYT story that misled people and created this misconception herehttps://zeynep.substack.com/p/moralizing-everything-641 …

      Also honestly, there are even trials to see if it works better to do this on purpose for COVID-19. (As I write, it's such a no-big-deal that the CDC says yeah sure go ahead if a different manufacturer is the *only* option for a booster for *all* vaccines).https://twitter.com/halvorz/status/1347323417817722886 …

      like, they probably aren't *exactly* interchangeable, but it would be very surprising to me if using a different booster and prime didn't work at all

      Poorly contextualized reporting on such things (combined with absolutist statements by experts) is actually creating the hesitancy these same experts and reporters are so worried about avoiding.

      Given the broad reach of these outlets and their credibility, this likely creates more hesitancy than 5G misinformation.

      Also mixing boosters as a last resort is also in CDC recommendations for non COVID vaccines, e.g. HepB.

      Yeah, it is utterly mundane as a guideline.

          I'm quite worried about this type of reporting and expert polarization creating unfounded hesitnacy. What is the solution? It's not quite misinformation so hard to get the platforms to take it down, plus it comes from NYT and health experts sources.

          The reach of these things (or when NYT sent push notification about an allergy reaction) is really high, and also has the credibility that conspiracy theories do not.
