Yep. Masking is widespread, and there is disporportinate media attention to the remaining pockets that resist, and none of those people are going to be reached now with more lecturing. If we had a unified message in March when experts chided people FOR wearing masks, maybe.

I agree with that but how does accusing scientists and public health agencies of misrepresenting vaccines or asking them to overstate their efficacy create demand for vaccines (including among HCWs) or build trust?

The problems with anti-vaxxers and vaccine hesitancy including among HCWs is not new. This was a significant public health problem before this pandemic. But attributing it to bad scicomm and calling it a crime against public health treats oversimplifies it and doesn't address it.
