adding 19/ I should add: the quotes from @DrPaulOffit @ashishkjha @PeterHotez & @AaronRichterman
are great. All are spot on & cld have been well used in a thoughtful article about how we're underselling the vaccine—in the hands of a reporter who understands the vaccine landscape.

Yes one of them makes a provably false statement. You’re not responsible for that, but it does seem to me disseminating scientific misinformation in the New York Times could be harmful.

Yeah, I asked yesterday - why didn’t they interview an immunologist that has worked with vaccines. There seems to be a lot of people who work in the health field are all the same and work from the same knowledge base in an epidemic, both in that article & how zeynep frames things

That article isn't arguing to hide anything. There is, however, no need to have this many prominent articles on "don't throw off your masks" and so few on how amazing these vaccines are. All this misunderstand persistence of masking reluctance (not ignorance, it's polarization)
-
Also, when Rand Paul made that claim (he is someone whose misinformation I wrote about in the paper of record so not a fan), it is better to greet it with less attention. The exaggerated debunking was more harmful than his message (he has no constituency among the masking crowd).
