We are dramatically underselling the amazing vaccines, exaggrating the uncertainties and people trying to emphasize the good news are being drowned out, or worse.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/18/briefing/donald-trump-pardon-phil-spector-coronavirus-deaths.html …

Doesn't public health advice always err on the side of conservative? I mean, the CDC also says you can't eat cookie dough or rare steak

Right, the problem is we're talking about lifesaving cookie dough! Too many articles and experts emphasizing tail risk and exaggerating uncertainty when we should be emphasizing the positives (and yes, communicate the risks but with correct framing: benefits emphasized).
