      You were right on and I amplified you as much as I could, as in the below tweet. But I do think people need affirmative guidance on what to do after being vaccinated. Doesn’t mean positive messages can’t be amplified in other ways.https://twitter.com/notdred/status/1243918345973501955?s=21 …

      There is a large and complex story around this that includes the fact that many countries have been pushing this with success. Follow @zeynep if you would like a sense of scope of this issue.

      Right now, the weirdly overwhelming message is “vaccine won’t change things” and, for unfathomable reasons, some weird focus on not taking masks off (when it’s not happening nor is it a threat!). We face a really tough few months and emphasizing the endgame is crucial.

      Yeah I feel like anytime anyone dares to fantasize about what they'll do after the vaccine, a bunch of people pop up to say, "You'll keep wearing your mask and social distancing, THAT'S what you'll do." It's like they're trying to murder hope.

      When I point this out, many MDs/academics tell me that’s not the message out there. That is absolutely the message out there. We should have church bells ringing in honor of these vaccines not a zillion articles lecturing the miniscule number of people with two doses about masks.

      We tweeted to each other about this yesterday, but if the point is we need to communicate a pathway to the end that people can visualize, no argument at all there. And I agree that many have been unnecessarily pessimistic, including by focusing on things like the herd immunity %

      Here are the headlines- there are literally dozens of these. This should be the footnote not the leading point about these. https://www.google.com/amp/s/khn.org/news/article/5-reasons-to-wear-a-mask-even-after-youre-vaccinated/amp/ … https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/12/956051995/why-you-should-still-wear-a-mask-and-avoid-crowds-after-getting-the-covid-19-vac … https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/12/08/health/covid-vaccine-mask.amp.html … https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/14/health/mask-covid-19-safety-vaccine-wellness/index.html …

      Headlines. Articles. Viral tweets by experts. Piling on anyone who dares emphasize the hopeful. It’s antivaxxers who send all this everywhere. It’s the nonsense that if we don’t do this, people will just take off their masks—misunderstands the problem with remaining nonmaskers.

      We do not have a problem with the currently masking people throwing off their masks too early that we somehow need to spend energy on now, but we have a problem with even HCW not taking up vaccines when offered and people at their wits end losing hope and giving up completely.

      The truth is that if I thought I was going to be living the way I'm living now for another 10 months I'd probably give up completely.

      I don’t think you would be alone in that. But I think people including Fauci and Ashish Jha have been generally aligned around the idea that this summer will be substantially better if not “normal”, so why is that message getting lost?

      Bunch of things coming together. Some of it is not within the expert community’s control—NYT sending a push alert to millions because of single allergic event (which resolved without issues). Some is: like how to respond to, say, Paul with his latest.

          Stuff like this isn’t helpful. Most people aren’t going to differentiate between levels of expertise.https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/10/health/grandparents-visits-covid-19-vaccine-wellnesss/index.html …
