In this thread, I've responded to a claim that the NYT article (which I did not write) about the evolution of messaging was irresponsible and harmful. I completely disagree on that, and again, if deferring to expertise, this is very much a field where *I'm* the expert.

And to follow, I don't think we should be forced to express more certainty than we are comfortable with. But then it helps to give priors as to why we are uncertain. E.g. flu vaccines kinda suck, but MMR is great. Not sure how this one will be. Then people can understand context.

Yes, all that. And less of this "people will misbehave" tsk tsk articles. (See another one: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/18/getting-covid-jab-could-prompt-public-abandon-rules-say-scientists/ …) The cautious folk aren't going to burn their masks on day one, and we *should* talk more about how these amazing vaccines will *eventually* allow more normalcy.
